CASE REPORT

First Case of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Infection in a Human{triangledown}

We present the first clinical report of a Staphylococcus pseudintermedius infection in a human. Biochemically, S. pseudintermedius can be easily misidentified as S. aureus. Therefore, the final microbiological identification requires the combination of phenotypic and genotypic tests.
