Abstract
Resistance to mupirocin was analysed in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from healthy dogs (n=21) and dogs with pyoderma (n=47) or otitis externa (n=52). Isolates were identified to species level by MALDI-TOF and PCR-RFLP of the groEL gene. One isolate of Staphylococcus epidermidis from the skin of a healthy dog, which harboured a plasmid carrying the mupA gene, was resistant to mupirocin.
