“…The spa type t1773 was previously reported to be associated with CC130 and common among farm animals and as a frequent cause of ovine mastitis [48][49][50][51]. Three S. aureus isolates were ascribed to ST88 which is a relatively rare lineage distributed globally among MRSA and MSSA [52]. This clonal lineage is highly related to community-acquired MRSA strains and is predominant in sub-Saharan Africa [53].…”

Several different species of animals host staphylococci as normal microbiota. These animals can be a source of staphylococci zoonotic infections. People with routine or occupational exposure to infected/colonized animals are at risk of a potential transmission. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the presence of S. aureus and other staphylococci in camels used for recreational purposes as well as their antimicrobial resistance, virulence factors and genetic lineages. A total of 172 samples were collected from 86 healthy camels (nose and mouth) from different farms located in the Canary Islands, Spain. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed against 14 antimicrobial agents. The presence of virulence genes was studied by PCR. Multilocus sequence typing, spa typing and agr typing were performed in all S. aureus isolates. From the 86 camels tested, 42 staphylococci were isolated, of which there were 11 S. aureus, 13 S. lentus, 12 S. sciuri, 3 S. xylosus, S. epidermidis, S. hominis and S. chromogenes. Staphylococci isolates were resistant to penicillin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin and fusidic acid. All S. aureus isolates harbored the hla, hlb and hld virulence genes. S. aureus isolates were ascribed to three sequence types (STs) and three spa types. All S. aureus isolates belonged to agr type III. Camels from Gran Canaria used in recreational purposes have a moderate prevalence of S. aureus and other coagulase-negative staphylococci. Nevertheless, S. aureus isolates are susceptible to almost all antibiotics tested.

Genetic background and molecular characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus collected from patients with skin and soft tissue infections were studied in the North-Central region of Bangladesh from 2015 to 2016. Among 430 clinical isolates, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) accounted for 31% having SCCmec type IV (73%) and V (14%), and belonged mostly to coagulase (coa) genotypes IIa, IIIa, IVb, and XIa, while dominant coa type in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) was IIIa, followed by Va, IIa, and VIa. Panton-Valentine Leukocidin genes (pvl) were detected at higher rate in MSSA (54%) than in MRSA (24%). Based on multilocus sequence typing, pvl-positive MRSA isolates were classified into clonal complex 88 (CC88) (ST88, ST2884, ST4345), CC6 (ST6, ST4350), and CC1 (ST1, ST772), while pvl-negative MRSA into CC5, CC22, CC80, CC121, and CC672. The pvl-negative ST80 MRSA isolates had SCCmec-IVa (agr-III/coa-XIc, etd/edinB-positive, fusB-negative), indicating that they belong to the novel CC80 clade related to the European community-acquired MRSA clone. Among MSSA, genotypes ST121/spa-t645/coa-Va and ST2884 (CC88)/spa-t2393/coa-IIIa were identified in both pvl-positive and negative isolates, and all the ST772 isolates harbored pvl. All the ST121 isolates had a variant of elastin-binding protein gene (ebpS-v) with internal 180-nucleotide deletion. The present study suggested that CC88 (ST88, ST2884) and ST772 are the putative dominant lineages of pvl-positive MRSA/MSSA, while novel CC80 clade is one of the main pvl-negative MRSA lineages distributed endemically in Bangladesh.
