Burkholderia gladioli deep pyoderma in a dog secondary to immunosuppressive ciclosporin and prednisone therapy

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.
