Overview of the investigated samples. The number of samples collected from (a) horses affected by equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) and (b) unaffected control horses is shown. Swabs were streaked onto two selective chromogenic plates for the selection of Staphylococcus aureus strains (SA+; MSSA and MRSA) and of methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains only (MRSA+). A modified form of a Venn diagram depicts that many (c) of the EPD-affected horses and (d) unaffected horses were simultaneously positive for S. aureus and/or MRSA in their noses and/or pasterns
