“…It is known that S.aureus is one of the chief cause for mastitis and the extensive use of intramammary antibiotics in cattle, so it is not unanticipated that, MRSA was isolated from milk of a mastitic animal, which is first among animals (Devriese et al, 1972). After this MRSA has been isolated from various species like dogs (Pak et al, 1999), cats (Scott et al, 1988), sheep (Goni et al, 2004), horses (Seguin et al, 1999), pigs (Voss et al, 2005) and chickens (Lee, 2003). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important concern nowadays in pet animals for being a significant cause in nosocomial infections (Weese, 2008b; and also a threat of zoonoses to veterinary health care personnel (Loeffler et al, 2010;Burstiner et al, 2010) and horses may act as a reservoir of MRSA and serve as a source of infection to humans (Weese et al, 2005a (Enright et al, 2000), spa typing (Moodley et al, 2006).…”

| Nosocomial, or hospital-acquired, infections are well-thought-out to be the most common problem affecting hospitalized human patients as well as veterinary patients. These are of great consequence in veterinary medicine and can have considerable adverse effects on the individual patient as well as on the veterinary hospital as a whole. Different infectious agents like MRSA, Cl. difficile, MDR E. coli, Salmonella spp. and many more are of prodigious significance in causing NIs. A surveillance and control measure for these NIs in veterinary settings needs to be addressed in future. This review consolidates some Nosocomial infections and the strategy for its surveillance in veterinary practice.

“…O uso excessivo de antibióticos pode aumentar o risco da resistência a estes medicamentos, fato que tem se tornado um problema de saúde pública. Goni et al (2004) destacam que a detecção de cepas de S. aureus resistentes aos aminoglicosídeos deve ser considerada uma preocupação para saúde pública, dado ao mecanismo similar para cepas isoladas em humanos. Recentemente, Soares et al (2008) demonstraram que isolados clínicos de SCN provenientes de amostras coletadas de animais e humanos têm apresentado elevada resistência à penicilina e à ampicilina.…”

Mastite em pequenos ruminantes no Brasil

Este artigo objetivou revisar as informações recentes sobre mastite em pequenos ruminantes, abrangendo etiologia, epidemiologia, aspectos de controle e profilaxia. Houve a preocupação em reunir resultados de estudos desenvolvidos no Brasil, uma vez que a mastite tem a interferência de uma série de fatores, como fatores ambientais e outros decorrentes dos sistemas de manejo empregados, condições essas determinantes para etiologia e epidemiologia da enfermidade. A prevalência da mastite em caprinos varia entre 22 e 75%, sendo que os casos de mastite subclínica são os mais frequentes. Existe uma carência de trabalhos voltados para os aspectos epidemiológicos da enfermidade no nosso país. Contudo, observa-se que a mastite vem assumindo importância cada vez maior nos rebanhos voltados para produção de carne, sendo encontrados resultados de pesquisa, principalmente na espécie ovina. A mastite estafilocócica corresponde à maior fração nas infecções intramamárias em pequenos ruminantes. O caráter zoonótico de alguns patógenos, a exemplo do Staphylococcus aureus ressalta a importância da implantação de programas de controle em propriedades leiteiras. Algumas das ferramentas de diagnóstico ainda necessitam de padronização, principalmente para espécie caprina que apresenta uma série de particularidades. Ainda são discutidas as principais estratégias de controle como o manejo de fêmeas e suas crias, os procedimentos de ordenha e a utilização de vacinas.

“…Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) have been reported in almost all domesticated species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle and sheep [3][4][5][6] . Skin and soft tissue MRSA infections [7] , bacteraemia, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis [8,9] , implantrelated infections, metritis [10] , omphalitis [11] , catheter-related infections and pneumonia [12] have all been reported in horses.…”

To investigate the prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) which is a potencial risk factor of transmission between animals and humans in different types of horses (harness racing-horses, breeding mares and riding-horses) and to compare the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates. A total of 191 healthy horses, housed at different locations of the Campania Region (Italy), were included in the study. Nasal swab samples were collected from each nostril of the horses. The mecA gene was detected by a nested PCR technique. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed for each isolate. MRS were isolated from nasal samples of 68/191 (35.6%; 95% CI: 28.9%-42.9%) healthy horses. All isolates were coagulasenegative with the exception of two coagulase-positive-MRS strains, identified as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, 2/83 (2.4%; 95% CI: 0.4%-9.2%). Interestingly, both coagulase-positive-MRS isolates were from harness racing-horses. These horses also presented a significant higher positivity for MRS (53.3%; 95% CI: 40.1%-66.1%) than the breeding mares and riding-horses groups. Antibiotic susceptibility testing resulted difference between isolates due to different origin except for an almost common high resistance to aminopenicillins, as ampicillin and amoxicillin. It can be concluded that harness racing-horses may act as a significant reservoir of MRS as compared to breeding mares and riding-horses
