Randomized trial analyses antimicrobial resistance and infection types in canine pyoderma, suggesting a need for rigorous treatment approaches.

This study aims to investigate the epidemiological determinants and antimicrobial resistance patterns in canine pyoderma caused by staphylococci.
Analyzed 71 PCR-confirmed staphylococcal pyoderma cases from June to December 2024.
Identified bacterial isolates using MALDI-TOF MS and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility.
Examined associations between infection type (monomicrobial vs polymicrobial) and clinical features.
63.38% of infections were monomicrobial; 36.62% were polymicrobial.
Both major Staphylococcus species showed high resistance to β-lactams and third-generation cephalosporins.
Polymicrobial infections displayed a trend towards higher resistance across multiple antimicrobial classes.

Sanwal et al. (2026) studied this question.
