NANOPORE SEQUENCING FOR ONE-HEALTH: genome and plasmid characterization of amethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius strain isolated from canine otitis and metagenomic samples from horse rectum

• One-Health studies rely on the interdisciplinary collaboration in all aspects of healthcare for humans, animals and the environment.
• Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is prone to cause opportunistic infections in skin of dogs and cats, with zoonotic potential.
• Methicillin-Resistant S.pseudintermedius (MRSP) is gaining ground, so rapid characterization may improve treatment.
• Clinical metagenomics samples are still challenging. The application of new sequencing approaches may help in rapid diagnostics
