Antimicrobials are important tools for the therapy of infectious bacterial diseases in
companion animals. Loss of efficacy of antimicrobial substances can seriously compromise …

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have emerged as major pathogens in healthcare-
associated facilities, being S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus and, more recently, S …

Currently, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a universal threat. After
being well established in the healthcare setting, it has emerged in the community among …

ABSTRACT Introduction: Compared to Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative
staphylococci (CoNS) are characterized by a lower capacity to cause acute, live-threatened …

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

Objective: Inappropriate antibiotic use leads to antibiotic resistance. This has become a
serious global crisis, with more multi-drug resistant infections and fewer effective antibiotics …

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

Antimicrobial multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO) can be transmitted between
companion animals and their human owners. Aim of this study was to determine the …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP), which is often multidrug
resistant (MDR), has recently emerged as a threat to canine health worldwide. Knowledge of …

Antimicrobial resistant bacteria are increasingly detected from canine samples but few
studies have examined commensal isolates in healthy community dogs. We aimed to …
