Abstract
Coagulase negative Staphylococci were considered as commensal
organisms or contaminants with limited pathogenic potential. However, they
are becoming more frequently associated with nosocomial infections in human
and skin infections in animals. In this study, we attempted to isolate and identify
the Staphylococci species that causes dermatological infections in dogs. Out
of 35 isolates, 27 were identified as S.pseudintermedius and 3 as
S.schleiferisubspschleiferi. Among three S.schleiferi isolates, 2 were closely
related to S.schleiferi ATCC strain in pta gene sequences.
