Staphylococcus aureus Causing Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in Companion Anim...
Costa, Sofia Santos; Ribeiro, Rute; Serrano, Maria; Oliveira, Ketlyn; Ferreira, Carolina; Leal, Marta; Pomba, Constança; Couto, IsabelStaphylococcus aureus is a relevant agent of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in animals. Fifty-five S. aureus comprising all SSTI-related isolates in companion animals, collected between 1999 and 2018 (Lab 1) or 2017 and 2018 (Lab 2), were characterized regarding susceptibility to antibiotics and heavy metals and carriage of antimicrobial resistance determinants. Clonal lineages were established by PFGE...

Ferreira, Carolina; Costa, Sofia Santos; Serrano, Maria; Oliveira, Ketlyn; Trigueiro, Graça; Pomba, Constança; Couto, IsabelStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a leading cause of skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) in the community. In this study, we characterized a collection of 34 S. aureus from SSTIs in ambulatory patients in Portugal and analyzed the presence of Panton–Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-encoding genes and antibiotic-resistance profile, which was correlated with genetic determinants, plasmid carriage, and clonal lin...
