Pet-to-Man Travelling Staphylococci: A World in Progress explores Staphylococci, a dangerous pathogen that affects both humans and animals with a wide range of infection states. This bacteria can spread rapidly as a commensal organism in both humans and pets, and is an agent of disease. Staphylococci are potentially highly virulent pathogens which require urgent medical attention. In addition, Staphylococci remain a threat within hospital environments, where they can quickly spread across a patient population. This book explores the organisms’ resistance to many compounds used to treat them, treatment failure and multidrug resistant staphylococci, amongst other related topics.
Focuses not only on man and animal staphylococcal diseases, but on the role of shared household in man-to-pet (and vice versa) transmission
Underlines the importance of professional exposure to mammals (i.e. veterinary and farm personnel) in the establishment of shared colonization’s and related diseases
Highlights the impact of shared staphylococci and virulence determinants in human and veterinary pathology
Sheds light on the way staphylococci may be recognized in clinical laboratories
