Prevalence, identification and antimicrobial sensitivity profile of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus colonizing dogs, cats and humans in a veterinary hospital, Brazil
The presence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) is not limited to humans and sick animals but can also colonize healthy animals and professionals working in veterinary hospitals. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of MRS in hospitalized animals and staff at a university veterinary hospital, as well as to identify the main species of Staphylococcus and their antimicrobial susceptibility profile. Nasal swabs were collected from 106 animals upon admission to the Veterinary Clinical Hospital and another swab after the patients were discharged from hospital. 20 nasal swabs were collected from staff involved in the routine of the Hospital. Strains identified as MRS were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility profile and identification of Staphylococcus species by the multiplex PCR. It was found that 48.11 % of the animals were positive for MRS. Of these, 38.7 % were dogs and 10.4 % were cats. From the 76 MRS isolated from animals, 52.63 % were identified as MRSA, 40.76 % as MRSP, and 6.58 % as MRSS. All phenotypically identified MRS carried the mecA gene. As for the individuals, 90 % were colonized by MRS, with 66,67 % by MRSA and 33.33 % by MRSP. The presence of MRS in the staff and, animals highlights the widespread dissemination of these pathogens within a veterinary hospital, contributes to the spread of multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
期刊介绍:
Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research.
The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally.
High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health.
Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
