Staphylococcus pseudintermedius necrotizing fasciitis in a dog

Abstract
in English, French

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius was implicated as the cause of rapidly progressive and fatal necrotizing fasciitis in a dog. The isolate was methicillin-susceptible and did not contain genes encoding the Panton-Valentine leukocidin. While Streptococcus canis is typically considered to be the main cause of necrotizing fasciitis in dogs, staphylococci should also be considered.

Fasciite nécrosante à Staphylococcus pseudintermedius chez un chien. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius a été impliqué comme la cause d’une fasciite nécrosante à progression rapide et fatale chez un chien. L’isolat était sensible à la méthicilline et ne contenait pas de gènes encodant la leucocidine de Panton-Valentine. Même si Streptococcus canis est typiquement considéré comme la cause principale de la fasciite nécrosante chez les chiens, les staphylocoques devraient être aussi considérés.
