“…The infection usually starts as a skin lesion, evolving to cellulitis, lymphangitis, and bacteremia. Once bacteremia is established, suppurative inflammation with intralesional bacterial colonies can be found in multiple organs, causing suppurative pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis, endocarditis, and nephritis (29,116). Reports of infections in free-ranging NWP are rare.…”

Neotropical primates are represented by more than 200 species and subspecies distributed in five families. Considering that some of these species are considered endangered, disease investigation in these populations is critical for conservation strategies. Therefore, an increasing number of studies and publications on this topic became available in the past few years. This review deals with infectious diseases of neotropical primates, with focus on free-ranging animals, including those caused by bacterial, viral, protozoal, metazoan, or mycotic infectious organisms, with particular emphasis on gross and microscopic lesions associated with these diseases. In addition, a few relevant unpublished cases of infection by Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli and Pseudomonas spp. were included in this review.

“…Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are an important problem in hospitals because they resist several antibiotic drugs [5]. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) are harmful bacteria that cause nosocomial infections in humans and animals [3,5]. They can carry MDR genes on the large mobile genetic element, staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec), which exhibits intraand inter-species transfer between staphylococci and mammaliicocci [9,10].…”

“…Mammaliicoccus sciuri (or S. sciuri ) is a gram-positive and coagulase-negative cocci commonly found in the environment, humans, and animals [ 2 – 4 ]. Furthermore, it is an opportunistic bacterium capable of causing severe human infections [ 5 , 6 ]. Mammaliicoccus sciuri has been discovered in various healthy and unhealthy animals, particularly ruminants [ 3 – 5 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Association of multilocus sequencing types and antimicrobial resistance profiles of methicillin-resistant Mammaliicoccus sciuri in animals in Southern Thailand

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Aim: Mammaliicoccus sciuri, formerly known as Staphylococcus sciuri, is an opportunistic pathogen in the environment, human and animal mucosa, and skin. Although this pathogen is becoming more resistant to drugs and harmful to animals and humans, basic knowledge of this pathogen remains limited. This study aimed to investigate a new multilocus sequencing type (MLST) related to the antibiotic resistance pattern of M. sciuri from animals in southern Thailand. Materials and Methods: We used 11 methicillin-resistant M. sciuri (MRMS) isolates in this study which were obtained from six horses, four cows, and one chicken of the previous study. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was re-evaluated based on the minimum inhibitory concentration using the VITEK® 2 automated system. Three AMR genes were examined, namely mecA, mecC, and blaZ. Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) gene detection was performed through the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Internal segments of the seven housekeeping genes, ack, aroE, ftsZ, glpK, gmk, pta1, and tpiA, were used for multilocus sequence typing. The population of resistant bacteria and the types of multidrug-resistant, extensively drug-resistant, and pandemic drug-resistant bacteria were classified through descriptive analysis. Results: mecA and blaZ genes were detected in all isolates; however, the mecC gene was not observed in any isolate based on the PCR results. All MRMS isolates revealed a non-typable SCCmec. Seven MLSTs (71, 81, 120, 121, 122, 199, and 200) were identified in this study. Conclusion: The characteristics of MRMS in Southern Thailand were variable, particularly in cattle and horses. The antibiogram and SCCmec types of this pathogen remain concerns with regard to antibiotic-resistant gene transmission among Staphylococcus and Mammaliicoccus species. All MLSTs in Thailand revealed the distribution among clones in Asia, including the virulence of a zoonotic clone in Southern Thailand.
