During 2011, the laboratory tested 5 isolates from different horses that were coagulase-positive staphylococci other than methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). (cdc.gov)
Isolates were identified by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, S. pseudintermedius or S. delphini PCR ( 4 ), and sod A sequence analysis ( 3 ). (cdc.gov)
A search of AHL's database was performed to identify other S. pseudintermedius and S. delphini isolates for all submissions of samples from equids during January 2011-August 2012. (cdc.gov)
Of the 5 isolates from the horses, 1 was identified as methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) and 4 as methicillin-susceptible S. delphini ( Table ). (cdc.gov)
The 4 S. delphini isolates were initially identified biochemically as S. pseudintermedius but subsequently classified as group A (n = 1) and group B (n = 3) S. delphini by molecular methods ( Table ). (cdc.gov)
A total of 27 of the staphylococci isolated (84.37%) were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent and 19 isolates (59.37%) were resistant to three or more antimicrobial drugs. (ac.ir)
In contrast, the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS)/Mammaliicoccus isolates (n = 26), in particular S. epidermidis and S. haemolyticus were more prevalent in healthy skin, (10/26, 38.5%) and (8/26, 30.8%), respectively. (bvsalud.org)
The sole M. sciuri isolate was found to carry an SCCmec type III(A). A wide range of virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance genes were found among our isolates, with varying distribution between species or STs. (bvsalud.org)
The pan-genome analysis revealed a highly clonal population of Staphylococcus isolates, particularly among S. aureus isolates. (bvsalud.org)
Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known pathogen of horses ( 1 ), but the role of other coagulase-positive staphylococcal species in these animals is unclear. (cdc.gov)
Staphylococcus aureus is a typical human pathogen. (frontiersin.org)
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is part of normal flora and also an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections in both humans and animals. (bvsalud.org)
MRSP1
Methicillin-resistant S pseudintermedius (MRSP) is unlikely to cause human infection, unless a person is very young, very old, or immunocompromised. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Methicillin-resistant4
Methicillin-resistant or unusual staphylococci that are isolated at the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre by the University of Guelph Animal Health Laboratory (AHL) routinely undergo further characterization. (cdc.gov)
However, this bacterium has received a great deal of attention due to its methicillin resistance in humans and potential role as a zoonotic agent-dogs infected with methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) most likely acquired the infection from a human. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Identifying the particular Staphylococcus species involved in skin infections, and its antimicrobial sensitivity, is important with regard to determining whether the dog is infected with a methicillin-resistant strain. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Genetic and phenotypic characterization of methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated from veterinary hospitals in South Korea. (ac.ir)
Resistance5
misidentification as S. aureus is possible if laboratories assume that coagulase-positive staphylococci from horses are S. aureus , and misidentification as methicillin susceptible is possible because the use of cefoxitin susceptibility and S. aureus breakpoints is ineffective for determination of methicillin resistance in S. pseudintermedius ( 10 ). (cdc.gov)
Antimicrobial resistance in staphylococci from canine pyoderma: a prospective study of first-time and recurrent cases in Sweden. (ac.ir)
Risk factors associated with the antimicrobial resistance of staphylococci in canine pyoderma. (ac.ir)
In this study we used whole genome sequencing to characterize the clonal composition, virulence and resistance genetic determinants of 58 Staphylococcus/Mammaliicoccus spp. (bvsalud.org)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides clinically relevant information on the population profile, virulence and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus/Mammaliicoccus spp. (bvsalud.org)
Antimicrobial2
Staphylococcus hyicus has frequently been reported to be resistant to a range of antimicrobial agents. (wikipedia.org)
Performance standards for antimicrobial disk and dilution susceptibility tests for bacteria isolated from animals approved standard. (ac.ir)
PYODERMA IN DOGS1
Staphylococci are the most common cause of pyoderma in dogs. (ac.ir)
Strains4
however, some strains isolated from both pigs and cattle have been found to be coagulase negative so it can be considered coagulase variable. (wikipedia.org)
Baird Parker agar supplemented with acriflavin can be used to differentiate between S. aureus , which is able to grow in the presence of acriflavin, from other DNase positive, hemolytic staphylococci ( S. intermedius group). (vetbact.org)
Genus3
Staphylococcus hyicus is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacterium in the genus Staphylococcus. (wikipedia.org)
Staphylococcus hyicus, like other members of the Staphylococcus genus, is a gram-positive coccus that forms clusters. (wikipedia.org)
Infections3
S. pseudintermedius and S. delphini , members of the S. intermedius group (SIG), cause infections in some companion animals and equids ( 2 ), can be multidrug resistant, and could be a concern in horses. (cdc.gov)
The role of these bacteria in disease in horses is unclear, but given their ability to cause opportunistic infections in other species, these pathogens should not be dismissed. (cdc.gov)
Of all the species with which we work, dogs seem uniquely predisposed to bacterial skin infections. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Enzyme4
Staphylococcus hyicus produces a bacteriolytic enzyme and a S. hyicus-specific teichoic acid. (wikipedia.org)
Coagulase is a protein enzyme produced by several microorganisms that enables the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. (biocheminsider.com)
Staphylococcus aureus is known to produce coagulase, which can clot plama into gel in tube or agglutinate cocci in slide. (biocheminsider.com)
Colonies3
Coagulase positive staphylococci form black colonies, since sodium tellurite is reduced to telluride, which is a black insoluble substance. (vetbact.org)
Lecithinase and lipase activity of coagulase positive staphylococci result in a clear and an opaque zone around the colonies. (vetbact.org)
The diglyceride is insoluble and if bacteria, which are cultivated on Brilliance Listeria Agar, have a lecithinase, an opalescent zone will be formed around the colonies because of precipitation of the diglyceride. (vetbact.org)
Humans3
S. pseudintermedius rarely causes disease in humans ( 9 ), and transmission normally occurs from infected or colonized animals. (cdc.gov)
There began also the sharing of bacterial species between animals and humans, and co-evolution of pathogens with their hosts. (frontiersin.org)
Staphylococcus aureus is a major resident or transient colonizer of the skin and the mucosa of humans and primates. (frontiersin.org)
Canine1

Bacterial species1
Bacterial species were recovered from 43 of the 61 (70.49%) studied animals. (ac.ir)
Horses1
The "pig" MRSA was also found to colonize other species of farmed animals, including horses, cattle, and poultry and was therefore designated livestock-associated (LA)-MRSA. (frontiersin.org)
Commonly1
Staphylococcus hyicus commonly infects pig herds worldwide due to its global distribution. (wikipedia.org)
Proteins1
Other virulence factors have been reported, the production of protein A with binding sites for immunoglobulin G (IgG) allows for evasion from phagocytes, coagulase production to form clots, surface fibronectin-binding proteins for adhesion and production of staphylokinase and lipase to evade host defences. (wikipedia.org)
Surface1
Coagulase is tightly bound to the surface of the bacterium S. aureus and can coat its surface with fibrin upon contact with blood. (biocheminsider.com)
Form2
The free coagulase secreted by S.aureus reacts with coagulase reacting factor (CRF) in plasma to form a complex, which is thrombin. (biocheminsider.com)
The earliest form is a follicular papule-the lesion progresses as bacteria spread into surrounding hair follicles. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Animals3
To feed the growing human population, there is an increasing demand for intensive animal farming involving large numbers of animals, different species in the same area, and the use of growth promoters and antibiotics. (frontiersin.org)
It occasionally lives on domestic animals, although these are usually colonized by other species of staphylococci. (frontiersin.org)
nov., a coagulase-positive species from animals. (ac.ir)
Large numbers1
Bacterial overgrowth syndrome is a superficial cutaneous disorder, associated with an overgrowth of S pseudintermedius and characterized by large numbers of bacteria, erythema, pruritus, and malodor. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
This variability can make it difficult to tell apart from similar bacteria such as Staphlococcus agnetis without PCR based methods or genotyping. (wikipedia.org)
