Neisseria weaveri is a gram-negative bacterium associated with dog bite wounds. It is rod-shaped and non-motile with type strain M-5. [1] The genome sequences of two strains (LMG 5135T and ATCC 51223T) were determined and deposited into GenBank (accession numbers AFWQ00000000 and AFWR00000000), respectively. Each genome was 2.1 Mb in size ...
There is an increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in S. pseudintermedius, specifically to methicillin, which makes it challenging to treat in humans. [44] [42] [41] Veterinary dermatologists are exposed to animals with skin and soft infections that commonly possess MRSP (methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius).
The bacterium is a commensal of the upper respiratory tract of cats and dogs, and they may cause pulmonary infections in cat. [1] In humans Neisseria animaloris have been reported to cause wound infection after animal bites but also chronic otitis media, bacteremia and endophtalmitis. [2] [3] [4]

Human bites are the third most frequent type of bite after dog and cat bites. [6] Dog bites are commonplace, with children the most commonly bitten and the face and scalp the most common target. [14] About 4.7 million dog bites are reported annually in the United States. [15] The US estimated annual count of animal bites is 250,000 human bites ...
Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus of the family Pasteurellaceae. [1] Strains of the species are currently classified into five serogroups (A, B, D, E, F) based on capsular composition and 16 somatic serovars (1–16).
Staphylococcus schleiferi is one of the causative agents in pyoderma of dogs and cats. Pyoderma is a skin infection characterized by the presence of purulent discharge . [65] Dogs are most commonly affected by this skin infection which may be caused by a bacterial infection or sometimes, but less commonly, a fungal infection.
