丹毒丝菌属感染 由诡谲丹毒丝菌引起的几种传染病。如猪丹毒（Swine Erysipelas，包括钻石样皮肤病，diamond-skin disease）、羔羊和犊牛的非化脓性关节炎、绵羊的后倾跛行、禽类的败血症及人的类丹毒等。

猪丹毒丝状菌（学名：Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae），人畜共通传染病，由寄生虫引起，鸟禽类的丹毒，好发于火鸡、鸡、鸭子,偶有其它鸟禽类，导致公鸟的不育潜在可能。

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, non-acid-fast, non-motile bacterium. The organism was first established as a human pathogen late in the nineteenth century. It may be isolated from soil, food scraps and water contaminated by infected animals. It can survive in soil for several weeks. In pig faeces, the survival period of this bacterium ranges from 1 to 5 months. It grows aerobically and anaerobically and does not contain endotoxin. Distributed worldwide, E. rhusiopathiae is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing a disease known as erysipelas in animals (and erysipeloid in humans – see below). Turkeys and pigs are most commonly affected, but cases have been reported in other birds, sheep, fish, and reptiles. In pigs, the disease is known as "diamond skin disease." The human disease called erysipelas is not caused by E. rhusiopathiae, but by various members of the genus Streptococcus.
