Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus pseudintermedius from animals causing human endocarditis.
    International journal of medical microbiology : IJMM, 2011, Volume: 301, Issue:3

    We report a case of infection with coagulase-positive Staphylococcus pseudintermedius related to the implantation of a cardioverter-defribrillator device. This species is usually isolated from infected animals, and contact with a dog was the probable source of infection in this patient. This isolate produced a leukotoxin effective against human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
