Although many strains of MRSA remain sensitive to fusidic acid, there is a low genetic barrier to drug resistance (a single point mutation is all that is required), fusidic acid should never be used on its own to treat serious MRSA infection and should be combined with another antimicrobial such as rifampicin when administering oral or topical ...
Enrofloxacin, sold under the brand name Baytril, among others, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for the treatment of animals. [1] It is a bactericidal agent. [1]The bactericidal activity of enrofloxacin is concentration-dependent, with susceptible bacteria cell death occurring within 20–30 minutes of exposure.
The veterinary uses of clindamycin are quite similar to its human indications, and include treatment of osteomyelitis, [74] skin infections, and toxoplasmosis, for which it is the preferred drug in dogs and cats. [75] They can be used both by mouth and topically. [62] A disadvantage is that bacterial resistance can develop fairly quickly. [62]
Bactericidal for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms and therefore useful for empiric broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage. (Notes: MRSA resistance to this class. All are active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa except ertapenem.) Gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea; Nausea; Seizures; Headache; Rash and allergic reactions
Dogs: Skin and soft tissue infections such as wounds, abscesses, cellulitis, superficial/juvenile and deep pyoderma due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, non-β-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and E. coli; and periodontal ...
In addition to parades, food and football, another Thanksgiving Day tradition is the National Dog Show in Philadelphia. For the 92nd consecutive year, breeds of all kinds are gathering to compete ...
MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It caused more than 100,000 deaths worldwide attributable to antimicrobial resistance in 2019. MRSA is any strain of S. aureus that has developed (through natural selection) or acquired (through horizontal gene transfer) a multiple drug resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.
Staphylococcus aureus can survive on dogs, [51] cats, [52] and horses, [53] and can cause bumblefoot in chickens. [54] Some believe health-care workers' dogs should be considered a significant source of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus , especially in times of outbreak. [ 51 ]
