Abstract

A dog presented with deep pyoderma on the paw, following treatment with ciclosporin and prednisone for immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia. Cytological evaluation, skin biopsy, aerobic culture, next-generation DNA sequencing and PCR were used to detect the first reported case of Burkholderia gladioli in a dog.

Keywords: Burkholderia gladioli; Burkholderia spp.; ciclosporin; next‐generation sequencing.
