“…Unfortunately, the sampling used by the system consisted of dust samples, which later were shown to have a low sensitivity. Moreover, the isolation method used (double-selective enrichment) was shown to be suboptimal in low-prevalence populations, such as poultry [26]. These limitations resulted in a lower estimated prevalence, which also is exemplified by the lower prevalence in Belgium during that study.…”

“…This complex is associated mainly with the colonization of pigs and veal calves [2•, 20, 21••, 22, 23••, 24, 25]. CC398 isolates also have been detected infrequently in poultry [26] and horses [27,28]. Whole-genome sequencing has shown that this clone originated in humans [4••]; indeed, in humans, CC398 still occurs mainly as MSSA [15, 29•, 30, 31], albeit at a low prevalence.…”

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.

“…This transmission may be promoted by insects serving as transmission vectors. In this respect, a report also suggested that the possible source of S. sciuri colonization in surgical wounds may be flies perching on open wounds (Kolawole and Shittu, 1997).Thus, it is assumed that frequent contact with healthy domestic and farm animals may also contribute to an at least temporary colonization of the skin, and subsequently the wounds, by S. sciuri (Kloos et al, 1976;Nemeghaire et al, 2014b). Despite the rare occurrence of S. sciuri in humans (Marsou et al, 1999;Couto et al, 2000;Nagase et al, 2002), some reports furthermore point to the role of S. sciuri as opportunistic pathogens isolated from various clinical specimen and causing serious infections in humans such as endocarditis, peritonitis, septic shock, and wound infections (Hedin and Widerstrom, 1998;Wallet et al, 2000;Horii et al, 2001;Stepanovic et al, 2002Stepanovic et al, , 2003).…”

Isolation of <i>Staphylococcus sciuri</i> from horse skin infection

et al. 2017

Staphylococcus sciuri is known as an opportunistic pathogen colonizing domesticated animals and has also been associated with wound infections in humans. Particularly over the last decade, oxacillin (methicillin) resistant strains had been emerged, which now increase the medical relevance of this species. This report describes the identification of an oxacillin-resistant S. sciuri isolate from a wound infection of a horse. We determined the absence of coagulase and hyaluronidase activity and analysed the antibiotic resistance profile.

“…However, many tetracycline-resistant MRSA strains are found in horses despite the fact that tetracycline is either not used much [229] or sparingly used [93,229]. Among bovine MRSA isolates tested, most of them were resistant to β-lactam antibiotics [34] as well as tetracycline, erythromycin and gentamicin. CC398 has also been reported to be highly resistant to several other antibiotics, such as ciproloxacin, tobramycin, clindamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [234].…”

“…A diferent strain of LA-MRSA, CC9, appears to be the prominent type in several Asian countries [28][29][30][31][32]. Poultry may harbor CC398 strains [16,33,34] but CC5 [33,35] and other types unrelated to CC398 have also been reported [36]. The diversity of LA-MRSA in the USA appears to be higher than that identiied in Europe or Asia, with reports of both CC398 as well as a variety of "human″ types of S. aureus in livestock.…”

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a growing concern in companion and food-producing animals. The presence of multidrug-resistance with a wide range of extracellular enterotoxin genes, virulence factors, and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (pvl) cytotoxin genes confer life-threatening traits on MRSA and makes them highly pathogenic and diicult to treat. Clonal complex 398 (CC398), a predominant clonal lineage of livestock-associated-MRSA in domestic animals and retail meat, is capable of infecting humans. In order to monitor and prevent MRSA contamination, it is critical to understand its source and transmission dynamics. In this review, we describe MRSA in food-producing animals (pig, catle, chicken), horses, pet animals (dogs, cats), and food products (pork, beef, chicken, milk, and ish).
