Document: Early detection and intervention is critical for patients with opportunistic infections secondary to immunosuppression. The identity of the organism to the species level in this dog was facilitated by MALDI-TOF MS and led to initiation of appropriate antimicrobial treatment sooner than traditional gene sequencing methods. The clinical utility of MALDI-TOF MS could have broader applications, particularly in animals with uncommon infections that are slow-growing and fastidious. In this case, successful treatment of disseminated N. veterana infection was possible with proper antimicrobial treatment and might be facilitated if underlying immunosuppressive drug treatment can be discontinued.
