Journal Article
Wilson, A., Allers, N., Lloyd, D. H., Bond, R., & Loeffler, A. (2019). Reduced antimicrobial prescribing during autogenous staphylococcal bacterin therapy: a retrospective study in dogs with pyoderma. Veterinary Record, 184(24), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105223

Autogenous staphylococcal bacterins are commonly mentioned as treatment for canine recurrent pyoderma but little is known about their efficacy. This retrospective study describes use and assesses efficacy of an autogenous Staphylococcus (pseud)interm...

What has changed in canine pyoderma? A narrative review (2018)
Journal Article
Loeffler, A., & Lloyd, D. H. (2018). What has changed in canine pyoderma? A narrative review. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.04.002

Canine pyoderma is a common presentation in small animal practice and frequently leads to prescription of systemic antimicrobial agents. A good foundation of knowledge on pyoderma was established during the 1970s and 1980s, when treatment of infectio... Read More about What has changed in canine pyoderma? A narrative review.

Opportunities for topical antimicrobial therapy: permeation of canine skin by fusidic acid (2017)
Journal Article
