Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is a versatile opportunistic pathogen that causes awide spectrum of pathologies. In rabbits, this bacterium infects dermal lesions causingsuppurative dermatitis, and invades subcutaneous tissues, causing different wellknowndisease conditions such as mastitis, abscesses (subcutaneously or affectinginternal organs) and pododermatitis. The aim of the study is to update the knowledgeon rabbit Staphylococcosis by focusing mainly on the different histopathologicchanges. Twenty rabbits were used as laboratory animal models in an experimentdesigned to study the pathogenesis of S. aureus. A dose of (1x108 CFU/ml) of aRifampicin-resistant S.aureus was given through the following routes: Intratracheal(IT), andsterile distilled water was given by same route to a group of rabbits used ascontrol.There were difference in temperature and body weights among treated animalsand control,but it were statistically significant(P˂0.05).
