Risk of colonization or gene transfer to owners of dogs with meticillin‐resistantStaphylococcus pseudintermedius

Abstract excerpt

To determine the zoonotic risk from meticillin-resistant staphylococcal species or transfer of resistance genes between dogs with pyoderma and their owners, 25 dog-owner pairs were studied. Cultures were obtained from the dog's lesions and the owner's nasal cavity on the initial visit. Staphylococcus isolates were identified and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion...
