Despite initial recovery, the patient developed postoperative infection with elevated inflammatory markers and radiological signs of spondylodiscitis.

Phenotypically, the isolate was susceptible to all tested antibiotics except erythromycin and exhibited inducible clindamycin resistance. Therapy began with clindamycin, later switched to daptomycin, followed by oral levofloxacin and rifampicin, achieving clinical resolution. To contextualize the isolate within the species\u2019 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) landscape, we compared its AMR gene profile with 5,500 publicly available\n                    <jats:italic>S. pseudintermedius<\/jats:italic>\n                    genomes.

Cluster analysis revealed three AMR groups: highly multidrug-resistant (clusters 1\u20132), intermediate (clusters 3\u20137), and low-AMR (clusters 8\u201310).

Overall, 42.5% of genomes carried multidrug-resistant gene constellations, whereas 57.5% harbored few AMR genes, with\n                    <jats:italic>mecA<\/jats:italic>\n                    rare in low-AMR clusters. Virulence profiling of our isolate indicated diverse toxins, adhesion factors, biofilm-related autolysins, and immune evasion proteins, supporting pathogenic potential.
