Molecular Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms of Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusIsolated from Bovine Milk

Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains gathered from 2002 to 2006 from milk samples in Aydin region in Turkey. Among 93 S. aureus strains isolated from bovine milk with mastitis, 16 were resistant to methicillin. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains were studied further for their staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types, pulsotypes, spa and MLST types, antimicrobial susceptibilities, mechanisms of resistance and presence of Panton-Valent… Show more

“…Methicillin resistance is caused by mecA gene, which encodes the penicillin-binding protein 2a with decreased affinity for β-lactam antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus should be considered as resistant to all penicillins, cephalosporins, cephems, and other β-lactams such as ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, and carbapenems, regardless of the in vitro test results obtained with these agents (27).…”

“…In the study of Bardiau et al (3), among 430 S. aureus isolates collected from bovine mastitis cases, 19 (4.4%) isolates were identified as MRSA, and the presence of the mecA gene was confirmed by PCR for all 19 isolates. The aim of the study of Turkyimaz et al (27) Similar as MRSA, Gram-negative bacilli, able to produce extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBL or AmpC), are an important problem in medicine. The occurrence of these bacteria in food animals and in farm environment was frequently noted (6,11,20,29,30).…”

“…Por ello, las cepas de SARM deberían ser consideradas resistentes a todas las penicilinas, cefalosporinas, cefemes y otros β-lactámicos, como las combinaciones de ampicilina/sulbactam, amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico, ticarcilina/ácido clavulánico, piperacilina/tazobactam y tecarbapenemes, independiente de los resultados obtenidos in vitro con estos fármacos. Además, estos microorganismos pueden ser resistentes a los antimicrobianos más comúnmente usados, incluyendo aminoglucósidos, macrólidos, cloranfenicol, tetraciclinas y fluoroquinolonas 24 .…”

“…Kırkan et al [12] reported that 60% of the oxacillin resistance was detected in S. aureus strains studied in Aydın region. Türkyılmaz et al [13] reported that cefoxitin resistance was 17.2% in S. aureus strains in the same region. In this study, methicillin resistance was determined in the ratio of 2.9% for coagulase positive strains and 16.3% for coagulase negative strains.…”
