“…The dose of tetracycline used was that recommended for prophylaxis and not treatment of Staphylococcus infections; therefore, selection for resistant C-pS may have been favored. 14,34 It is not known if all CpS isolates were resistant to tetracycline or if the environment became increasingly contaminated with resistant C-pS during the experiment.…”

Staphylococcus-associated Abortions in Ewes with Long-term Central Venous Catheterization

2008

Abstract. Forty-two ewes had an intravenous catheter sewn in place in a prepared area over the jugular vein and beginning at 60 days of gestation received an infusion 3 times daily. The infusion consisted of sterile saline or sterile saline containing arginine. Twenty-six ewes in both control and treatment groups aborted between 81 days of gestation and term. Fetuses from 16 ewes that aborted were examined. Most were autolyzed or had early mummification. Macroscopic placentitis and noncollapsing lungs were noted. Large numbers of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus were isolated from fetal abomasal content, lungs, brains, or placentas. Histologically, suppurative placentitis with necrosis and pulmonary aspiration of meconium and amniotic debris often with suppurative bronchopneumonia were observed in abortuses. Four ewes euthanized and examined after abortion had suppurative endometritis. Three ewes had severe, chronic, jugular thrombophlebitis from which coagulase-positive Staphylococcus was isolated. The fourth ewe had mild phlebitis, and Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from both the catheter and the blood. Catheter-associated staphylococcal abortion was diagnosed.

“…The Dilúvio stream flows into the Guaíba Lake, the main source of water supply to Porto Alegre which is also used for water-based sports, such as sailing, kayaking, canoeing, powerboating and windsurfing (Devos 2009). Staphylococcus species are ubiquitously distributed in nature (Varnam and Evans 1996) and resistant strains have been isolated from diverse sources, such as foods, animals and healthy and hospitalized individuals (Malik et al 2005, Sorum and L'Abee-Lund 2002, Wisplinghoff et al 2004). Members of the Staphylococcus genus can express a wide range of virulence factors, such as: cell wall components, proteases, coagulase, hemolysins, enterotoxins, toxic-shock syndrome (TSS) and exfoliatins toxin (Novick et al 2001).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the species distribution, antibiotic-resistance profile and presence of enterotoxin (SE) genes in staphylococci isolated from the Dilúvio stream in South Brazil. Eighty-eight staphylococci were identified, 93.18% were identified as coagulase-negative (CNS) and 6.82% coagulasepositive (CPS). Fourteen Staphylococcus species were detected and the most frequently were Staphylococcus cohnii (30.48%) and S. haemolyticus (21.95%). Resistance to erythromycin was verified in 37.50% of the strains, followed by 27.27% to penicillin, 12.50% to clindamycin, 6.81% to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 5.68% to chloramphenicol and 2.27% to norfloxacin. None of the investigated strains showed gentamicin and ciprofloxacin resistance. The strains were tested for the presence of sea, seb, sec, sed and see genes by PCR and only CNS strains (43.18%) showed positive results to one or more SE genes. The scientific importance of our results is due to the lack of data about these topics in polluted waters in Brazil. In conclusion, polluted waters from the Dilúvio stream may constitute a reservoir for disseminating antibiotic-resistance and enterotoxin into the community. In addition, the detection of staphylococci in the polluted waters of the Dilúvio stream indicated a situation of environmental contamination and poor sanitation conditions.

“…are being increasingly recovered from canine clinical specimens (2,5,14,16,17,21,23). Interpretation of oxacillin resistance in coagulase-positive Staphylococcus pathogens of the Staphylococcus intermedius-S. schleiferi-S. delphini-S. hyicus clade (13) has been an uncertainty for veterinary diagnosticians, because guidelines are predicated on data derived from human clinical studies with S. aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp.…”
