Abstract:Summary:Staphylococcus aureus and S. intermedius are considered as the most significant species causing skin infections in dogs. The aim of this study was to develop a Polymerase Chain Reaction technique for the detection of siet (S. intermedius exfoliative toxin) gene encoding exfoliative toxin in S. intermedius and to investigate its presence in S. intermedius isolates from dogs with pyoderma. A total of 41 isolates (35 S. intermedius, 4 S. aureus, one S. capitis subsp. ureolytica and one S. chromogenes) fro… Show more
