⚠️ This week, I shared several posts about pyoderma in dogs and the increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) infections.
⚠️ S. pseudintermedius is the leading cause of pyoderma in dogs and it has become an increasingly important zoonotic pathogen, especially for immunocompromised dog owners.
This study reviewed various aspects of zoonotic transmission, risk factors, antimicrobial resistance profiles, and more.
Key results are:
1️⃣ AntibioticResistance: the emergence of MRSP presents a new challenging public health problem to both veterinary and human medicine, as treatment options are limited.
2️⃣ PublicHealth: the European Food Safety Authority recognizes S. pseudintermedius as one of the EU's three most clinically important pathogens.
3️⃣ OneHealth: S. pseudintermedius strains should be evaluated from a One Health perspective, considering the close contact between humans and pets.
As the interaction between pets and humans continues to increase, it's crucial to implement preventive strategies against zoonotic diseases that can affect both animals and humans.
