Pathogenic potential and antimicrobial resistance of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from human and animals.

ABSTRACT: Crossing of interspecies barriers by microorganisms is observed. In recent years, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius-a species formerly thought to be animal-has also been isolated from human clinical materials. Many virulence factors are responsible for the colonization, which is the first step an infection, of the new host organism. We analyzed the factors influencing this colonization as well as susceptibility to antibiotics in fourteen S. pseudintermedius strains isolated from clinical cases from humans and animals. The occurrence of genes responsible for binding elastin, fibronectin, and fibrinogen and some phenotypic features, although different between strains, is comparable in both groups. However, the animal isolates had more genes coding for virulence factors. All isolates tested had
