Patterns of antibodies to staphylococcal DNases in dog sera.
Sera from clinically healthy dogs and from dogs with a history of skin disease were examined for the presence of antibodies to the DNases of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus, and Staphylococcus intermedius. The antibodies found most frequently and in the largest amounts were those to the DNase of S. intermedius.
