“…It occasionally is observed in Asia [17] and also has been detected in Africa [18,19]. This complex is associated mainly with the colonization of pigs and veal calves [2•, 20, 21••, 22, 23••, 24, 25].…”

“…CC9 is the major LA-MRSA clone found in Asia, although its prevalence may vary substantially among Asian countries [17]. The first time an ST9 strain was found in Europe was in 2008, in Italy, although the most prevalent ST was the typical European ST398 [3].…”

“…Several SCCmec types have been found in CC9 strains, including SCCmec III, IV, and V and novel and NT types [17]. This large variety of SCCmec types indicates the high number of acquisitions in these strains, whereas in ST398, the types are mainly IV and V as well as occasional NT SCCmec elements.…”

“…Studies from several Asian countries and Germany found that more than 90 % of LA-MRSA ST9 isolates carried at least one enterotoxin gene [17]. Moreover, a high detection rate of the toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) gene (tst), but a negative expression of the TSST-1 phenotype, also was reported in LA-MRSA ST9 isolates [76].…”

“…The European isolates found recently carry mainly spa types t337 [48], t1430 [48,69], t1939 [70], and t4794 [3]. CC9 Asian isolates carry diverse spa types, such as t899, t4358, and t337 [17].…”

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.

Historically, the genera Staphylococcus and Micrococcus were placed together with the genera Stomatococcus and Planococcus in the family Micrococcaceae , containing Gram‐positive, catalase‐positive cocci. As staphylococci and micrococci are part of the microbiota of the skin and mucous membranes, careful procedures should be used to isolate organisms from the presumed focus of infection without collecting surrounding microbiota. Because serological testing for antistaphylococcal antibodies lacks specificity and predictive accuracy, it plays no role in the diagnosis of most staphylococcal diseases. A number of studies and reviews describing the antimicrobial and biocide susceptibilities of clinically important staphylococcal species have been published. Distinguishing contaminants and colonizers from staphylococcal and micrococcal isolates causing infection continues to be an important challenge for laboratorians and clinicians.
