Importance of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci in Veterinary Dermatology

The emergence of methicillin-resistant staphylococci, particularly S. pseudintermedius (MRSP), has revolutionized veterinary dermatology. Canine pyodermas, once straightforward to treat, have evolved into a crisis of antibiotic resistance, rendering empirical treatments obsolete. This situation necessitates a new approach: systematic diagnosis through cytology before initiating any treatment, prioritizing topical therapy for superficial infections, and judicious use of systemic antibiotics based on susceptibility testing. Addressing the underlying cause, such as allergies, is essential to prevent recurrences. This issue is deeply embedded in the "One Health" approach, connecting animal and human health.
