Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is an emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen with zoonotic potential. This study investigated the antimicrobial resistance, genomic diversity, and virulence characteristics of MRSP isolates from companion animals in South Korea. METHODS: We analyzed 68 MRSP isolates collected from dogs and cats with skin or ear infections in Seoul between...
