“…All these studies indicate only a low prevalence; however, these mecC-positive strains appear to be widespread, at least in Europe, and seem to be present in different animal species, including humans, as well as in the environment [99,100]. The livestock animal species involved are mainly dairy cattle, and these strains have not been recovered from pigs or poultry so far.…”

“…It was discovered because it was negative on mecA PCR but phenotypically resistant. Although this SCCmec type is associated mainly with CC130, it also has been found in CC1943 and CC425 as well as in many other CCs, including CC599 and CC59 [97,98,99].…”

“…The livestock animal species involved are mainly dairy cattle, and these strains have not been recovered from pigs or poultry so far. Other animals involved include sea mammals, pet animals, wildlife (birds and mammals), and zoo animals [97][98][99][101][102][103][104][105][106]. Of note, the ST130 strains carrying SCCmec type XI are likely to be zoonotic and to cause infections in animals [98,107].…”

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is a relatively recent phenomenon in veterinary medicine. Although in the beginning it was restricted to a single clonal complex (CC), CC398, it has expanded into several clonal complexes, and the diversity of subtypes in the clonal complexes is increasing also. The prevalence of each type is determined somewhat geographically; for instance, the most prevalent clonal complex in Europe is CC398, whereas in Asia, it is CC9. Although few data exist regarding North America, the situation appears to be mixed there. The SCCmec cassettes detected in LA-MRSA are limited mainly to SCCmec IVa and SCCmec V, although non-typeable cassettes and SCCmec type XI, containing mecC, also have been found.The source of the SCCmec in LA-MRSA was discovered to be animals. In searching from which bacteria the SCCmec cassettes in LA-MRSA have been transferred, the most obvious species to consider are the methicillin-resistant non-S. aureus staphylococci (MRNaS). However, very few data are available from those species in animals, and the data that do exist are not detailed enough to determine the origin. Nevertheless, similar cassettes were found in MRNaS, indicating a possible origin that needs to be investigated further.

“…Lately, a new methicillin resistance mechanism gene, mecC was described in S. aureus (Porrero et al, 2014). García-Álvarez et al (2011), Paterson et al (2012), Walther et al (2012) and Paterson et al (2014) reported MRSA isolates carrying mecC gene from humans and animals.…”

“…S. aureus has also been associated with wildlife animals. Studies in Spain demonstrate the presence of ST398 (pig-and human-associated) and ST1 (humanassociated) MRSA isolates harboring the novel mecC methicillin resistance gene (see below) in either red deer, Iberian ibex, wild boar or Eurasian grifon vulture, suggesting a probable human origin of these isolates [12][13][14]. All of these examples represent the high transmission capability of apparently species-speciic S. aureus genetic lineages and urge to the implementation of both molecular epidemiology surveillance and novel infection controls.…”

Staphylococcus aureus causes hospital-acquired (HA), community-acquired (CA) and companion animal and livestock-associated (LA) infections. Molecular epidemiology studies suggest that although host speciicity may be associated with speciic genetic lineages, recent human-to-animal and animal-to-human transmissions related to mobile genetic elements have been described. Gene transfers include virulence and antibiotic resistance genes, thus making it diicult to control multidrug resistance S. aureus infections. Bacteriophages (phages) and endolysins, the enzymes responsible for bacterial lysis by phages, are alternatives to the use of antibiotics for the control of S. aureus infections. In this work, we review current advances in the development of phage therapy and the study and design of recombinant endolysins to treat S. aureus infections. Preliminary results of bacteriophage isolation based on molecular epidemiology knowledge show that bacteriophages are speciic of genetic lineages and that this strategy may be used as an approach to isolate and evaluate new bacteriophages for therapy.
