p < 0.001) more frequently carried MRSA while the presence of otitis (OR 14.22; 95% CI, 1.64 to 103.58; p < 0.008) and oral lesions (OR 9.48; 95% CI, 1.14 to 64.82; p < 0.002) were identified as the significant risk factors for the carriage of MRSP in dogs. Conclusion:The detection of chromosome mediated mec-A gene within the S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius isolates from dogs is an emerging finding in veterinary hospital as well as significant concern for human medicine.
