“…In some studies, more than one staphylococcal species was isolated from the same lesion in dogs with superficial bacterial folliculitis. 23,[36][37][38] Therefore, it is possible that in some cases multiple staphylococcal species were present but only one was isolated. Finally, the detection of an organism at the site of a lesion does not necessarily imply pathogenicity, because only colonization may be present.…”

“…S. aureus has been isolated from several sites on dogs, including the anterior nares, skin and anal region, although most studies of carriage sites have focused on S. intermedius [19,20]. It has been suggested that staphylococci are transferred from the nose and mouth of the dog to its coat by grooming and pruritic behaviours, and studies have reported S. aureus in the nares of dogs colonized at other sites [10,19]. In case reports of transmission, the dog's nares is the most frequently identified site of colonization when cultures from several sites are performed [10].…”

SUMMARYCase reports have indicated transmission of Staphylococcus aureus between humans and pets. We investigated associations between level of contact between dog and owner, and S. aureus colonization. In a cross-sectional study, nasal carriage and antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus was determined for 830 dogs and 736 owners. Relatedness of isolates was investigated using antibiograms and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Associations between carriage and demographics or amount of contact between owners and dogs were documented. S. aureus was isolated in 24% of humans and 8 . 8% of dogs. Antibiotic resistance was significantly more common in canine isolates. Of 17 owner/dog colonized pairs, six were indistinguishable by PFGE. Colonization of dogs was not associated with close human contact, but was strongly associated with health-care occupations (OR 3 . 29, P=0 . 002). In outbreak situations health-care workers' pets should be considered as a source of S. aureus. High rates of resistance indicate increased monitoring of antibiotic use in veterinary practice is needed.

“…However, it remains unclear whether one or more clonal types of S. pseudintermedius are primarily responsible for surgical infections in dogs following orthopaedic intervention (Fazakerley et al, 2010;Paul et al, 2012;Pinchbeck et al, 2006). Despite the clonal diversity reported among S. pseudintermedius in dogs, the multidrug-resistant clonal lineage (ST71-t02-SCCmec II-III) is thought to have spread among dogs in Europe (Perreten et al, 2010).…”

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a commensal organism of dogs that can also be implicated in surgical site infections (SSIs) in dogs. Particularly with the recent emergence and spread of the ST71-t02-SCCmec II-III multidrug-resistant S. pseudintermedius clonal lineage (MDRSP), it is important to understand the clonal diversity of S. pseudintermedius in SSIs in dogs. The study reported here investigated the genotypic relatedness of 124 S. pseudintermedius isolates from the surgical wounds of 90 dogs admitted to a referral practice in the UK. This study also aimed to understand whether MDRSP is better adapted to survival and persistence in different environments compared with other S. pseudintermedius. Whilst no individual S. pseudintermedius clonal type was primarily responsible for S. pseudintermedius-associated SSIs in dogs, we found that MDRSP was the most represented clonal type among the isolates studied. However, we observed no difference in the level of biofilm production, susceptibility to biocides or carriage of specific virulence determinants between MDRSP and other S. pseudintermedius isolates studied. Interestingly, in the competitive fitness study, MDRSP did not outcompete any member of the other S. pseudintermedius isolates studied in each environment. Our data suggest that the determinants that promote S. pseudintermedius-associated SSIs in dogs are distributed among S. pseudintermedius as a species and are not restricted to a few clonal types. They also provide evidence to support the suggestion that MDRSP is not better adapted to survival or persistence in different environments and is no more virulent than other S. pseudintermedius isolates.

Genotypic relatedness of staphylococcal strains isolated from pustules and carriage sites in dogs with superficial bacterial folliculitis

Abstract: Coagulasepositive staphylococcal strains were heterogeneous among dogs with superficial bacterial folliculitis. In individual dogs, strains from multiple pustules were genotypically the same, and strains from pustules were genotypically the same as strains from carriage sites.
