Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence for Noninvasive Zoonotic Transmission ofStaphylococcus intermediusfrom a Canine Pet to a Human
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
rRNA-based molecular phylogenetic techniques were used to identify the bacterial species present in the ear fluid from a female patient with otitis externa. We report the identification of Staphylococcus intermedius from the patient and a possible route of transmission. Analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms indicated that the dominant species present was S. intermedius. A pet dog...
