“…These results are in agreement with other studies which indicated that the commonly isolated genera were Staphylococcus, Escherichia and Salmonella (Van Duijkeren et al, 2004;Alzohairy, 2011). This study focuses on Staphylococcus because of its presence in several habitats including humans, animals and food and results in a wide range of diseases which easily spread among animals and, under certain conditions they infect humans by skin to skin contact, or by contact with excretions which contain staphylococci.…”

This study was conducted during a six months period (March to August 2008) at the Veterinary laboratory, Department of Animal Resources, Doha, Qatar to determine the incidence of different bacterial genera farm animals in particular the occurrence of Staphylococcus species. The samples were from the rectum, milk, feces, nasal, swab of vagina, cloacal -uterin, intestine, liver and pus. Samples were collected from various animals of different regions. A total 318 of 429 samples gave positive results for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and 90 cultures were identified as Staphylococcus. The highest isolates were from camels' milk and none were obtained from specimens of cats and horses. A total of 33 selected Staphylococcus isolates were identified to species level and the most common isolated was coagulase-positive S. aureus (14), followed by coagulase-negative, S. lentus (10), S. xylosus (5), S. sciuri (2), S. lugdunensis (1) and S. caprae (1). The antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of these were determined using cephalothin, gentamycin, neomycin, ampicillin, norfloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline and a combination of trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole. All identified species were sensitive to cephalothin except one strain of S. aureus. Most of the isolates showed multiple antimicrobial resistance profiles.

The aim of this study was to determine the mechanisms of staphylococcal resistance to methicillin. CNS (n=100 isolates) were prepared from the mammary inflammatory secretions of 86 cows from farms located in the Lublin region.Methicillin-resistant isolates constituted 20.0% of all CNS. Staphylococcus sciuri (n=8) and Staphylococcus xylosus (n=6) were most abundant, followed by Staphylococcus chromogenes (n=3), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (n=2) and Staphylococcus warneri (n=1). The mecA gene was found in 50.0% of MRCNS (10.0% of all CNS isolates) belonging to two species: S. sciuri and S. xylosus. All mecA-positive isolates contained the protein of low affinity to penicillin (penicillin-binding protein 2a -PBP2a). The enzyme hydrolysing the β-lactam ring in antibiotics was detected in 40.0% of MRCNS; 10.0% of MRCNS isolates were characterised by the presence of the mecA gene and ability to produce β-lactamase. The remaining 20.0% of MRCNS isolates showing phenotypic resistance to methicillin were mecA gene-negative and were not able to produce β-lactamase.

“…Earlier studies among equine clinical isolates in the Netherlands (van Duijkeren et al, 2004) and a survey among 200 healthy horses (Busscher et al, 2006) did not reveal MRSA. The reason for the sharp increase in the number of equine MRSA infections since 2006 is currently unknown.…”
