It can be isolated from faeces and sporadically from a wide range of other environmental sites such as soil, marine and fresh water, plant surfaces, dust and air. Among them, S. epidermidis and S. aureus are two bacterial species which are facultative anaerobes and clinically important.

Studies of nasal/anal decolonisation in dogs with MRSP are not yet reported, although topical fusidic acid application to the nose and anus has been shown to reduce skin carriage of The authors thank Professor David Lloyd for constructive comments on the manuscript.None of the authors of this article has a financial or personal relationship with other people or organisations that could inappropriately influence or bias the content of the paper.Please check your email for instructions on resetting your password. ;AGáÄäŽÒ/s>˜ó`ÚvÌ©Ë5˜~Ôà þyÊS/”‘ƒö'9
