Dear Lucinda Cole,
I am sorry to tell you that the information given in the "document" provided by Sunday Aderoju Olabi Dada are part of the biased anti-dairy vegan propaganda, and can not be considered as trustworthy. Furthermore, the document does not address pus producing bacteria.
Dr. G.V. Deshmukh was most likely not referring to a specific disease, but just generally to meat from animals with purulent infections. In meat inspection, every animal showing large abscesses and/or extended purulent infections in organs must undergo a bacteriological meat inspection before being cleared for consumption.
The most common purulent agent that can induce a food poisoning is staphylococcus spp. (producing thermostable enterotoxins), particularly staph. aureus.
Other pus-producing bacteria species that can lead to food-borne diseases are streptococcus spp., other coccus spp., pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and mycobacterium tuberculosis/bovis.
I hope this helps.
