Abstract
This study was investigated the zoonotic possibility of Staphylococcus schleiferi by adherence to both canine and human corneocytes. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Staphylococcus aureus, and S. schleiferi were prepared and canine and human corneocytes were collected via double-sided tape. Adhesion to human corneocytes was higher for S. schleiferi than S. pseudintermedius but highest for S. aureus. Regarding the canine corneocytes, S. schleiferi was the least adhesive strain. Furthermore, S. pseudintermedius adhered to the entire surface of both human and canine corneocytes. S. aureus and S. schleiferi, however, adhered to the corneocyte peripheries. Thus, S. schleiferi may have zoonotic potential and the potential is higher than S. pseudintermedius.
