Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium of the genus Staphylococcus[1] found worldwide.[2] It is primarily a pathogen for domestic animals,[3][4] but has been known to affect humans as well.[5] S. pseudintermedius is an opportunistic pathogen that secretes immune-modulating virulence factors, has many adhesion factors, and the potential to create biofilms, all of which help to determine the pathogenicity of the bacterium.[6][7] Diagnoses of S. pseudintermedius have traditionally been made using cytology, plating, and biochemical tests.[8] More recently, molecular technologies like MALDI-TOF, DNA hybridization and PCR have become preferred over biochemical tests for their more rapid and accurate identifications.[9][10] This includes the identification and diagnosis of antibiotic resistant strains.
