Background Progress in contemporary medicine is associated with an increasing number of
immunocompromised individuals. In this vulnerable group, the underlying disease together …

Background Multiple drug resistance (MDR) in staphylococci, including resistance to the
semi‐synthetic penicillinase‐resistant penicillins such as meticillin, is a problem of global …

The molecular ecology of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and
their methicillin‐resistant strains in healthy dogs and cats could serve as good models to …

Sixty-eight owners and 66 pets, from 43 unrelated pet-owning households were screened
for methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCoNS), potential cases of …

Antimicrobial‐resistant staphylococci have been associated with wounded or ill companion
animals, but little is known about the prevalence of resistant staphylococci among healthy …

Objectives To determine the antibiotic resistance and fingerprint profiles of methicillin-
resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS) from animal infections among …

Abstract Background Coagulase-positive (CoPS) and coagulase-negative (CoNS)
staphylococci are normal commensals of the skin and mucosa, but are also opportunist …

Dogs often carry methicillin-resistant Staphylococci asymptomatically. These bacteria are
frequently linked to conditions such as canine pyoderma and otitis. Close interaction …

Similarly to S. aureus, S. pseudintermedius synthesizes an array of invasion and virulence
factors. These include factors enabling adhesion to host's cells or extracellular matrix …

This cross-sectional study was designed to identify information on the frequency,
antimicrobial resistance and species diversity of methicillin-resistant coagulase negative …
