“…Staphylococcal DNA was extracted as described previously [57]. PCR was used to detect the presence of the following antibiotic resistance genes: blaZ (confers resistance to penicillins except isoxazolyl-penicillins) [25]; mecA, mecC (confer resistance to all penicillins and cephalosporins approved for veterinary use) [58]; erm(A), erm(B), erm(C), erm(F), erm(T), erm (33), erm (43), and erm(44) (confer resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramin B), vga(A), vga(A) v , vga(C), vga(E), vga(E)v and sal(A) (confer resistance to streptogramin A, lincosamides and pleuromutilins); Isa(B) and Inu(A) (confer elevated MICs or resistance to lincosamides) [23,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68]; msr(A) (confers resistance to macrolides and streptogramin B) [57]; cfr (confers resistance to all phenicols, lincosamides, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramin A) [69]; fexA (confers resistance to all phenicols) [69]; cat pC194 , cat pC221 , and cat pC223 (confer resistance to non-fluorinated phenicols, e.g., chloramphenicol) [70]; ant(6 )-Ia and str (confer resistance to the aminoglycoside streptomycin) [14]; dfrA, dfrD, dfrG, and dfrK (confer resistance to trimethoprim) [57,71]; tet(K) and tet(L) (confer resistance to tetracyclines except minocycline and glycylcyclines) [57]; tet(O) and tet(M) (confer resistance to tetracyclines, including minocycline, but excluding glycylcyclines) [72].…”
