Inhibition of Dermatophilus congolensis by substances produced by bacteria found on the skin.
Bacteria, isolated from the skins of clinically normal sheep, were tested for inhibitory activity against Dermatophilus congolensis grown in vitro. Out of 85 bacterial isolates, 19, mainly Bacillus spp., showed zones of inhibition when grown together with D. congolensis. The inhibitory activity was shown to be due to the metabolites released by the bacteria.
