“…According to a meta-analysis study conducted in Africa, the lack of CIP resistance and 33.30% AMC resistance rate in dog feces were shown to be incompatible with the results of this study with 45.45% CIP and 9.09% AMC resistance rates, respectively [51]. AMP/GEN/SXT resistance pattern was determined in one S. Typhimurium and one S. Infantis, which is found in dog feces, but not in human isolates (Table 4).…”

Salmonellosis is of great importance for humans and animals. Companion animals, particularly dogs, can be asymptomatic carriers of Salmonella, and thus have been ignored as a source of salmonellosis. They can also spread multidrug resistant Salmonella strains via dog feces, causing inconvenience in the treatment of human salmonellosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates from collected dog feces belonging to dogs residing at the Municipal Dog Shelter, Anatolian Shepherd Dog Farm, and from blood, stool, and joint fluid samples from humans with symptoms of gasroenteritis, abdominal, and joint pain. In addition to this, the antibiotic resistance profiles of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates were examined. A total of 45 human and 11 dog Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolates were obtained. The 11 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica recovered from dogs were identified as S. Infantis, S. Enteritidis, and S. Typhimurium, which correspond to serovars priotorized for human health. Almost all human isolates (42/45) and all dog Salmonella isolates (11/11) were found to be resistant to one or five, and one or four of the tested antibiotics, respectively, but not for CFZ, CAZ, CST in human and CFZ, CAZ, CST, ETP in dog Salmonella isolates. Common resistance profiles in dog and human origin Salmonella isolates were GEN/AMK, AMP/GEN/CIP/SXT, AMP/CIP, SXT. Exhibition of the common resistance profiles against antibiotics recommended in the treatment of human salmonellosis should not be ignored. Companion animals should be monitored for carrying Salmonella and spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria.

“…By contrast, a higher prevalence of methicillin-, erythromycin-, and clindamycin-resistant CoNS strains were observed in our study but primarily limited to M. lentus (100%, n = 2) and M. sciuri (100%, n = 16). Overall, we report a higher prevalence of MDR S. pseudintermedius (10/21, 47%) than previously reported for Africa ( 37 ) but a slightly lower prevalence of MDR S. aureus strains (8.5% versus 18%).…”

Animal shelters, especially in resource-poor countries, bring together pets from different regions and with different backgrounds. The crowding of such animals often results in infectious diseases, such as respiratory infections. This study characterized Staphylococcaceae from diseased and apparently healthy dogs housed in an animal shelter in Kenya, to determine their antibiotic resistance profiles, their genetic relatedness, and the presence of dominant clones. Therefore, bacteria were collected from all 167 dogs present in the shelter in June 2015 and screened for Staphylococcaceae using standard cultivation techniques. In all, 92 strains were isolated from 85 dogs and subsequently sequenced by PacBio long-read sequencing. Strains encompassed nine validated species, while S. aureus ( n = 47), S. pseudintermedius ( n = 21), and Mammaliicoccus (M.) sciuri ( n = 16) were the three most dominant species. Two S . aureus clones of ST15 (CC15) and ST1292 (CC1) were isolated from 7 and 37 dogs, respectively. All 92 strains isolated were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations. In all, 86 strains had resistance-associated minimal inhibitory concentrations to at least one of the following antimicrobials: tetracycline, benzylpenicillin, oxacillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, trimethoprim, kanamycin/gentamicin, or streptomycin. Many virulence-encoding genes were detected in the S. aureus strains, other Staphylococcaceae contained a different set of homologs of such genes. The presence of mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids and prophages, known to facilitate the dissemination of virulence- and resistance-encoding genes, was also assessed. The unsuspected high presence of two S . aureus clones in about 50% of dogs suggests dissemination within the shelter and a human source. IMPORTANCE Microbiological data from sub-Saharan Africa are scarce compared to data from North America, Europe, or Asia, and data derived from dogs, the man’s best friend, kept in sub-Saharan Africa are largely missing. This work presents data on Staphylococcaceae mainly isolated from the nasal cavity of dogs stationed at a Kenyan shelter in 2015. We characterized 92 strains isolated from 85 dogs, diseased and apparently healthy ones. The strains isolated covered nine validated species and we determined their phenotypic resistance and characterized their complete genomes. Interestingly, Staphylococcus aureus of two predominant genetic lineages, likely to be acquired from humans, colonized many dogs. We also detected 15 novel sequence types of Mammaliicoccus sciuri and S. pseudintermedius indicating sub-Saharan-specific phylogenetic lineages. The data presented are baseline data that guide antimicrobial treatment for dogs in the region.

“…These organisms are frequently isolated from the skin and mucous membranes of dogs as commensal organisms. Even so, they may cause diseases such as otitis externa and pyoderma in canines [2]. Infection typically develops when the skin or mucosal barrier is compromised due to underlying factors such as medicinal and surgical interventions, atopic dermatitis, or immunosuppressive conditions [3].…”

There is a scarcity of published studies on the occurrence of Staphylococcus spp. Among dogs in South Africa. The objective of the study was to characterise the Staphylococcus spp. Isolated from dog samples submitted to a veterinary diagnostic laboratory in South Africa in terms of time, place, and person. This study utilised a dataset of 1627 positive Staphylococcus isolates obtained from a veterinary diagnostic laboratory in South Africa from 2012 to 2017. Out of the 1627 confirmed isolates, 10 different species of Staphylococcus were identified. Among these, 92.0% were classified as coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS), 6.0% were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), and 3.0% were coagulase-variable. Male dogs contributed just over half (53.2%) of the Staphylococcus isolates, while female dogs contributed the remaining 46.8%. The largest proportion of isolates (23.2%) were obtained from dogs aged ≥ 9 years, with the highest number of isolates originating from KwaZulu-Natal Province (45.0%) and the least from Northern Cape Province (0.1%). Out of the total samples included in the records, the majority (46.0%) were skin specimens. The number of Staphylococcus isolates recorded showed limited variation between the seasons (24.3% in autumn, 26.3% in winter, 26.0% in spring, and 24.0% in summer). This study highlighted the diversity of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from dogs, and the burden of staphylococcal carriage among dogs in South Africa. Further research is required to examine the factors that contribute to the observed discrepancies in the proportions of Staphylococcus spp. between the provinces.
