Abstract
Specimens obtained from the skin of healthy dogs and from various surgical and pyogenic lesions were culturally examined for coagulase-positive staphylococci. The isolates of Staphylococcus were biotyped, using hemolysin production, coagulase production and the biochemical tests contained in a commercial Staphylococcus identification system. Coagulase-positive isolates were biotyped, with 70/72 identified as S. intermedius and 2/72 as S. aureus. All of the S. intermedius isolates were coagulase-positive with canine plasma.
