Quality was assessed using SORT criteria and combined with authors' consensus evaluation.

Topical antimicrobial therapy alone is the treatment\u2010of\u2010choice for surface and superficial pyodermas. Systemic antimicrobials should be reserved for deep pyoderma and for superficial pyoderma when topical therapy is not effective. Systemic therapy, with adjunctive topical treatment, is initially provided for 2\u2009weeks in superficial and 3\u2009weeks in deep pyoderma, followed by re\u2010examination to assess progress and manage primary causes. First\u2010choice drugs have expected efficacy against the majority of meticillin\u2010susceptible <jats:italic>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius;<\/jats:italic> for all others, laboratory testing should confirm susceptibility and exclude suitability of safer alternatives. As culture and susceptibility testing are essential for rationalising systemic therapy, laboratories and practices should price them reasonably to encourage use. Proactive topical therapy using antiseptics may help prevent recurrences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>The accessibility of the skin offers excellent, achievable opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vde.13365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T23:38:58Z","timestamp":1750808338000},"page":"552-565","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Synopsis of the antimicrobial use guidelines for canine pyoderma by the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0446-3729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anette","family":"Loeffler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Science and Services Royal Veterinary College  Hatfield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine L.","family":"Cain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1537-0074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Llu\u00eds","family":"Ferrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Medicine and Surgery Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Nishifuji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Animal Life Science, Graduate School of Agriculture Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarina","family":"Varjonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anicura Albano Animal Hospital  Danderyd Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7591-7898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark G.","family":"Papich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine North Carolina State University  Raleigh North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Guardabassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences University of Copenhagen  Frederiksberg Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Si\u00e2n M.","family":"Frosini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Science and Services Royal Veterinary College  Hatfield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emi N.","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Langford Vets and Bristol Veterinary School University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott J.","family":"Weese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph  Guelph Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_17_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Antimicrobial use guidelines for canine pyoderma by the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID)","volume":"3","author":"Loeffler A","year":"2025","journal-title":"Vet Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_17_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ctsap.2006.05.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_17_4_1","volume-title":"CLSI supplement VET01S","author":"Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_17_5_1","unstructured":"EU Commission 2022 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022\/1255.Designating antimicrobials or groups of antimicrobials reserved for treatment of certain infections in humans in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019\/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance).2022.
