  • Division of S. hyicus into virulent and avirulent strains is based on the production of an exfoliative toxin (virulence factor), which produces the clinical presentation of exudative epidermitis, as these toxins specifically target the stratum granulosum and stratum spinosum. (wikipedia.org)
  • S. hyicus exfoliative toxin (SHET) producing strains are further divided into plasmid carrying (SHETB) and plasmidless (SHETA). (wikipedia.org)
  • S. hyicus is generally considered to not be zoonotic, however it has been shown to be able to cause bacteremia and sepsis in humans. (wikipedia.org)

  • Staphylococcus hyicus is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacterium in the genus Staphylococcus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Based on phenotypic similarities, M. hyicus was moved to the Staphylococcus genus in 1965. (wikipedia.org)
  • Staphylococcus hyicus, like other members of the Staphylococcus genus, is a gram-positive coccus that forms clusters. (wikipedia.org)
  • Differentiation of S. hyicus from other members of the genus can be done based on the sequence of its 16S rRNA gene or thermonuclease (nuc) gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • Other bacteria closely related to S. hyicus include S. schleiferi, S. intermedius, S. pseudintermedius, and S. felis. (wikipedia.org)
  • This variability can make it difficult to tell apart from similar bacteria such as Staphlococcus agnetis without PCR based methods or genotyping. (wikipedia.org)
  • In conclusion, the early detection and antimicrobial sensitivity testing of Staphylococcus spp in dog otitis externa cases that do not respond to empiric therapy could be beneficial for appropriate antibiotic selection and treatment thus preventing MDR. (macvetrev.mk)
