Mrsp
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudointermedius is a veterinary-specific multi-drug resistant bacterial infection commonly found on dogs and occasionally cats.
Key Facts
- MRSP is naturally adapted to live on canine skin and is rarely transmitted to humans.
- It frequently causes skin, wound, and surgical site infections in veterinary patients.
- Pets with pre-existing skin infections are at higher risk of developing secondary MRSP infections before the original condition heals.
