GIACOBONI, Gabriela Isabel e GAGETTI, Paula. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius y el enfoque de Una Salud. Analecta vet. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.2, pp.52-52. ISSN 1514-2590. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/15142590e052.
The interdependence between human and animal health linked to the environment in which they coexist are the bases of the One Health approach. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a skin and mucous membrane commensal in animals, especially in dogs, where it can cause different diseases. In recent years, S. pseudintermedius has been recognized as a zoonotic agent;although it does not colonize humans under normal conditions, it can cause disease under certain circumstances. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius has several virulence factors such as enzymes, surface proteins, and toxins that are involved in adherence, biofilm formation, and evasion of the immune response. In addition, it has multiple antimicrobial resistance which makes treatment difficult, and also constitutes a reservoir of resistance genes that can be transmitted to other species. Finally, conventional methods used in the diagnostic laboratory do not allow proper identification of S. pseudintermedius; therefore, in many occasions, diagnosis cannot be confirmed. The objective of this review was to describe S. pseudintermedius from a One Health approach.
