Opportunities for Topical Antimicrobial Therapy: Permeation of Canine Skin by Fusidic Acid

In this case report, a 3-year-old beagle with recurrent skin lesions and alopecia due to a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection showed significant improvement within 10 days and complete resolution after a 28-day treatment with oral linezolid, alongside fungal infection management.

Recurrent furunculosis can be managed with antibiotics, decolonization, and decontamination, with potential future use of vaccines and bacteriophage therapy.

In this study on dogs, topical antimicrobial sprays with varying ingredient profiles showed different levels of S. pseudintermedius growth inhibition, maintaining activity for at least 10 days.

In this study investigating canine pyoderma, the researchers found that Staphylococcus species isolated from 57 dogs were most sensitive to the antibiotic Linezolid, with a 100% sensitivity rate, followed by other antibiotics like Doxycycline hydrochloride and Cefpodoxime.

This article reviews the treatment and characteristics of skin infections like carbuncles and furuncles related to Staphylococcus aureus, but presents no new clinical findings.
