Staphylococci are important opportunistic pathogens often found in the microflora of skin and mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract of man and animals. The coagulase-postive species such as Staphylococcus aureus are capable of causing invasive (eg furuncles and bacteramia) and non-invasive (food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome) conditions in humans. In animals, S. intermedius and S. aureus have been implicated in a variety of conditions including pyoderma in dogs, mastitis in cows and skin infections in horses with S. intermedius being responsible for more than 95% of staphylococcal infections in dogs. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2006.
