Staphylococcus pettenkoferi: An Emerging Resistant Bacteria in Veterinary Medicine?
Staphylococcus pettenkoferi is a coagulase-negative bacteria that has been linked to several drug resistant bacterial infections in humans and animals in recent years. S. pettenkoferi’s drug resistant nature has led to increasing interest in the pathogen within the medical and veterinary communities. Given these findings, it was hypothesized that S. pettenkoferi is a potential animal and zoonotic pathogen that can contribute to multi-resistant infections with the ability to form...
