“…Staphylococcus chromogenes was the CoNS species most frequently isolated (74.07%) from dairy cows with IMI in this study. Other studies have also reported S. chromogenes as the most prevalent species isolated in milk samples from cows with mastitis caused by CoNS (3,(39)(40)(41)(42)(43), although with a lower frequency of isolation than observed in the present study.…”

“…Piessens et al (41) reported a high similarity between genotypes of S. chromogenes isolated from milk samples and suggested that specific genotypes of this species are well adapted to the mammary gland, which is typically observed for contagious udder pathogens. Consequently, contagious transmission among cows seems to be an important route for new IMI caused by S. chromogenes.…”

bCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main pathogens causing bovine intramammary infection (IMI) in many countries. However, one of the limitations related to the specific diagnosis of CoNS is the lack of an accurate, rapid, and convenient method that can differentiate the bacterial species comprising this group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to accurately identify CoNS species in dairy cow IMI. In addition, the study aimed to determine the frequency of CoNS species causing bovine IMI. A total of 108 bacterial isolates were diagnosed as CoNS by microbiological cultures from two milk samples collected from 21 dairy herds; the first sample was collected at the cow level (i.e., 1,242 composite samples from all quarters), while the second sample was collected at the mammary quarter level (i.e., 1,140 mammary samples collected from 285 cows). After CoNS isolation was confirmed by microbiological culture for both samples, all CoNS isolates (n ‫؍‬ 108) were genotypically differentiated by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of a partial groEL gene sequence and subjected to the MALDI-TOF MS identification procedure. MALDI-TOF MS correctly identified 103 (95.4%) of the CoNS isolates identified by PCR-RFLP at the species level. Eleven CoNS species isolated from bovine IMI were identified by PCR-RFLP, and the most prevalent species was Staphylococcus chromogenes (n ‫؍‬ 80; 74.1%). In conclusion, MALDI-TOF MS may be a reliable alternative method for differentiating CoNS species causing bovine IMI.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS; n = 417) were isolated from bovine milk and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-offlight mass spectrometry. Nineteen different species were identified, and Staphylococcus xylosus, Staphylococcus chromogenes, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, and Staphylococcus sciuri were the most prevalent species. Resistance to oxacillin (47.0% of the isolates), fusidic acid (33.8%), tiamulin (31.9%), penicillin (23.3%), tetracycline (15.8%), streptomycin (9.6%), erythromycin (7.0%), sulfonamides (5%), trimethoprim (4.3%), clindamycin (3.4%), kanamycin (2.4%), and gentamicin (2.4%) was detected. Resistance to oxacillin was attributed to the mecA gene in 9.7% of the oxacillin-resistant isolates. The remaining oxacillin-resistant CNS did not contain the mecC gene or mecA1 promoter mutations. The mecA gene was detected in Staphylococcus fleurettii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staph. haemolyticus, and Staph. xylosus. Resistance to tetracycline was attributed to the presence of tet(K) and tet(L), penicillin resistance to blaZ, streptomycin resistance to str and ant(6)-Ia, and erythromycin resistance to erm(C), erm(B), and msr. Resistance to tiamulin and fusidic acid could not be attributed to an acquired resistance gene. In total, 15.1% of the CNS isolates were multidrug resistant (i.e., resistant to 2 or more antimicrobials). The remaining CNS isolates were susceptible to antimicrobials commonly used in mastitis treatment. Methicillin-resistant CNS isolates were diverse, as determined by mecA gene sequence analysis, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Arginine catabolic mobile element types 1 and 3 were detected in both methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staph. epidermidis and were associated with sequence types ST59 and ST111. Because this study revealed the presence of multidrugresistant CNS in a heterogeneous CNS population, we recommend antibiogram analysis of CNS in persistent infections before treatment with antimicrobials.

“…At least 15 species have been associated with bovine mastitis, but Staphylococcus chromogenes, S. epidermidis, S. xylosus and S. haemolyticus are reported as the most prevalent species in herds around the world (Piessens et al, 2012;Frey et al, 2013). While S. chromogenes rarely occurs in humans, S. epidermidis commensally inhabits the human skin and mucous membranes.…”

This study aimed to identify Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) species isolated from bovine mastitis, through phenotypic and PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism-Polimerase Chain Reaction) methods and to compare both techniques to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technique. Among them, the PCR-RFLP method, using a partially conserved sequence of the groEL gene, is a promising alternative, because of its reproducibility and reliability. On the other hand, the proteomic technique MALDI-TOF MS provides an accurate and much faster diagnosis and has been increasingly employed in microbiological identification. The pheno-genotypic profiles of beta-lactam resistance were also investigated, this characterization is important, considering that the use of antimicrobials is a key element for mastitis control in dairy farms. The concordance of the phenotypic, PCR-RFLP and MALDI-TOF MS assays to identify CoNS species was 77,5% (31/40). S. chromogenes was the species most frequently isolated. Antibiotic resistance rate was relatively low, registering values of 25.5% to penicillin, 9.6% to oxacillin and 6.2% to cefoxitin. Resistance to imipenem, cephalotin and amoxicillin+clavulanate was not observed. The mecA gene and its variant were detected in 7.6% and 4,1% of the isolates respectively. The blaZ gene was found in 43.2% of the strains resistant to penicillin.Keywords: Staphylococcus spp., bacterial resistance, PCR-RFLP and MALDI-TOF MS 77,5% (31/40 RESUMO Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar isolados de Staphylococcus coagulase-negativa (SCN) isolados de mastite bovina, por meio de métodos fenotípicos e PCR-RFLP (reação em cadeia de polimerase -polimorfismo nos fragmentos de restrição), e compará-los com a técnica de tempo de voo de ionização/desorção por laser assistida por matriz de espectrofotometria de massa (MALDI-TOF MS). O método de PCR-RFLP, que utiliza uma parte conservada da sequência do gene groEL, é uma alternativa promissora, por ser reprodutível e confiável. Por outro lado, a técnica proteômica MALDI-TOF MS permite uma acurácia e um diagnóstico muito mais rápidos e tem sido cada vez mais empregada na identificação microbiológica. Os perfis fenogenotípicos de resistência aos beta-lactâmicos também foram investigados. Essa caracterização é importante, considerando-se que os antimicrobianos são os elementos-chave para o controle da mastite na produção leiteira. A concordância entre os testes fenotípicos, PCR-RFLP E MALDI-TOF MS na identificação foi de
