Research and identification of Staphylococcus Pasteur, 1880 (Bacillales Staphylococcaceae) potentially zoonotic isolated from Sicilian dogs

Abstract

The uncontrolled abuse of antibiotics used in veterinary medicine, has led to the development of some mechanisms of antibiotic-resistence in the bacteria. This event allows them to breed and increase in number inside a host organism. Staphylococcus spp. strains (Bacillales Staphylococcaceae) have been isolated from cutaneous swabs of dogs, have been identified through microbiological methodologies on a biochemical basis, and their sensitive profile to various antibiotics, commonly used in the veterinary domain and in human medicine, was valued. Other molecular and microbiological studies on these Staphylococcus spp. strains have also been carried.
