Antibacterial Effect of Canine Leucocyte Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) and Canine Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) Against Methicillin-Sensitive and Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i>.

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) is a commensal and opportunistic pathogen of skin and mucosal surfaces, isolated from healthy dogs and from canine pyoderma cases. It has recently gained attention due to its increasing antibiotic resistance. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biological product, obtained through a blood centrifugation process, which has antibacterial properties evidenced by in vitro and in vivo studies conducted in both the human and veterinary field. This in vitro study evaluated the antimicrobial effect of canine non-activated and activated leucocyte-rich PRP (L-PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) against two strains of SP isolated from dogs with pyoderma: one a multidrug-resistant strain (MDR) and one a non-MDR strain. Twenty healthy un-sedated adult blood donor
