Prevalence, species identification, and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococci in dogs visiting veterinary clinics in Vietnam.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Staphylococci are important commensal and opportunistic bacteria found in various animals, including dogs and humans. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococci is a growing global concern, including in Vietnam. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, species distribution, and antibiotic-resistance profiles of Staphylococci isolated from dogs visiting veterinary clinics in Vietnam. A total of 309 Staphylococcus strains were isolated from 410 nasal and skin samples collected from both healthy and diseased dogs between December 2021 and December 2023 in Ho Chi Minh city. The isolation rate of Staphylococcus spp. was 71.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 66.6%-75.6%), with 78.9% (95% CI: 73.6%-83.7%) in diseased dogs, 56.9% (95% CI: 48.4%-65.2%) in healthy dogs, 80.1% (95% CI: 74.3%-85.1%) in skin samples, and 60.3% (95% CI: 52.9%-67.5%) in nasal samples. Species identification indicated that S. pseudintermedius was dominant, followed by S. aureus. Other species identified included S. epidermidis and S. schleiferi. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed complex resistance patterns. Approximately 91.3% of isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic, and 60.5% were multidrug-resistant (resistant to three or more antibiotics). A total of 215 antibiotic-resistance phenotypes were observed, with 85 phenotypes showing resistance to more than ten different antibiotics. Isolates from diseased dogs exhibited higher antibiotic-resistance rates than those from healthy dogs. Several antibiotic-resistance genes were identified, with aacA-aphD being the most prevalent, followed by tetK, gyrA, mecA, msrA, dfrA, and ermA. These findings highlight the widespread presence of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococci in dogs and emphasize the necessity for ongoing surveillance of antibiotic-resistance evolution in animals and its implications for human health.
