Johnson is receiving treatment in Perth for the infection, which developed from a cut following the third test against South Africa in Cape Town.
The 32-year-old Johnson led Australia's 5-0 Ashes home whitewash of England and then the 2-1 away victory over South Africa.
CA's chief medical officer Justin Paoloni says the 32-year-old Johnson will be monitored closely over the next two or three days "until we are happy that the infection has resolved and his toe fully recovered."
