Antibiotic sensitivity of bacterial isolates from cases of canine dermatitis
2011
Since dermatological diseases have assumed a prevalent role among dog pathologies, bacterial causes of dermatitis in dog have been investigated worldwide. Different bacteria have been involved in the course of dermatological diseases, among which Staphylococcus species, in particular S. aureus, S. intermedius and S. pseudintermedius, represent opportunistic pathogens in dogs (Ruscher et al., 2009) and are the most frequently isolated bacteria in case of dermatological problems. Recently, S. intermedius and S. pseudintermedius have been included in the S. intermedius group (SIG) (Bannoehr et al., 2007). The effects of therapy may include the development of major antimicrobial resistance profiles for S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius (Mason and Kietzmann, 1999; Jones et al., 2007). Consequently, it is important to obtain a correct evaluation of antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria within the genus Staphylococcus and particular-
