Journal Article
Fountain, K., Gibbon, M., Loeffler, A., & Feil, E. (2021). Closed genome sequences of Staphylococcus lloydii sp. nov. and Staphylococcus durrellii sp. nov. isolated from captive fruit bats (Pteropus livingstonii). International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 71(3), https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.004715

The increasing availability of whole genome sequencing of bacteria has accelerated the discovery of novel species which may not have been easy to discriminate using standard phenotypic or single gene methods. Phylogenomic analysis of genome sequences...

Canine pyoderma: mecA persists autogenous bacterin formulation from meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) and S. aureus (MRSA) (2021)
Journal Article
Loeffler, A., Scott, C., & Frosini, S. M. (2021). Canine pyoderma: mecA persists autogenous bacterin formulation from meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) and S. aureus (MRSA). Tierärztliche Praxis Ausgabe K: Kleintiere / Heimtiere, 49(06), 437-440. https://doi.org/10.1055/a-1624-0951

Objective Autogenous Staphylococcus pseudintermedius bacterins can reduce prescribing of antimicrobials in the management of canine recurrent pyoderma. However, increasing prevalence of meticillin-resistant, mecA-positive S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) r...

Effect of topical antimicrobial therapy and household cleaning on meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius carriage in dogs (2021)
Journal Article
Frosini, S. M., Bond, R., King, R., Feudi, C., Schwarz, S., & Loeffler, A. (2021). Effect of topical antimicrobial therapy and household cleaning on meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius carriage in dogs. BMJ Open, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.937

Abstract MRSP is a multidrug-resistant, zoonotic canine pathogen. This study investigated MRSP carriage and clearance through topical antimicrobial therapy and household cleaning in dogs recovered from MRSP infection. Dogs were swabbed for MRSP c...

Vetreccr R1 Text Final AL 27May21 (2021)
Journal Article
Loeffler, A., Boone, J., Boone, J., Fountain, K., Williams, J., Lloyd, D. H., …Loeffler, A. (in press). Vetreccr R1 Text Final AL 27May21. Veterinary Record,

Pinnae are vital structures for echolocation and survival in many species of bats. Pinnal lesions have been described as common in captive bats, but information on specific diseases affecting the pinnae is scarce. A collection of histological section...

Journal Article
Fountain, K., Feil, E., Blackett, T., Butler, H., Schilling, A., Meredith, A., …Feil, E. J. (2021). Fatal Exudative Dermatitis (FED) in Island Populations of Red Squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris): Spillover of a Virulent Staphylococcus aureus Clone (ST49) From Reservoir Hosts. Microbial Genomics, https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.000565

Fatal exudative dermatitis (FED) is a significant cause of death of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) on the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands where it is associated with a virulent clone of Staphylococcus aureus, ST49. S. aureus ST49 has been f...
