<i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i>’s PBP4 Is Directly Associated with the Dissociated Oxacillin and Cefoxitin Phenotype

<i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i> is an important pathogen responsible for infections in dogs and in humans. The emergence and dissemination of methicillin-resistant <i>S. pseudintermedius</i> (MRSP) and the multidrug resistance frequently seen in this species make diffi...
