Antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from asymptomatic and symptomatic dogs in Montevideo, Uruguay: characterization of MRSP strains and genetic determinants of resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common opportunistic pathogen in dogs and an increasing concern in veterinary medicine due to rising antimicrobial resistance, particularly to methicillin. This study aimed to characterize resistance profiles and genetic mechanisms in isolates from healthy and diseased dogs in Montevideo, Uruguay. A total of 133 isolates was analyzed (83 from clinical infections and 50 from...
