Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecC gene in wild small mammals in Spain.
OBJECTIVES To determine the rate of Staphylococcus aureus faecal carriage in 101 wild small mammals in Spain and to characterize the isolates obtained. METHODS Faecal samples were seeded on mannitol salt agar and ORSAB plates. The presence of the resistance genes mecA, mecC and blaZ and the new blaZ allotype associated with staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) XI (blaZ-SCCmecXI) wa...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus harboring mecC in livestock in Spain.
We report for the first time mecC-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (mecC-MRSA) in livestock in Spain. One isolate (sequence type 130) was found in milk samples among 601 S. aureus isolates obtained from 229 dairy sheep farms. This finding highlights the potential for zoonotic transmission of mecC-positive MRSA and the need for surveillance programs to monitor its presence an...
متن کاملEpidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrying the novel mecC gene in Denmark corroborates a zoonotic reservoir with transmission to humans.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of healthcare-associated (HA), community-associated (CA) and livestock-associated (LA) infections. Recently, the discovery of human and bovine MRSA isolates carrying a new mecA gene homologue, mecA(LGA251) (now designated mecC), has caused concern because they are not detected by conventional, confirmatory tests for MRSA. Very ...
متن کاملA potential diagnostic problem: The Newly Emerging mecC Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains
Background: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been known for just over 50 years, and it poses a serious problem for infection prevention and control and antibiotic treatment globally. In MRSA, resistance against almost all beta-lactam compounds in clinical use is caused by the expression of an alternate penicillinbinding protein (PBP2a) that is encoded by the mecA gene. Objective: The ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from humans related to a livestock farm in Spain, with detection of MRSA-CC130 carrying mecC gene: A zoonotic case?
OBJECTIVES To conduct a study of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in members of a livestock-farmer's family with different degrees of animal contact, and to characterize the recovered isolates. METHODS Nasal samples from 11 members of the family were taken in three sampling periods (every six months) (n=31), and 9 skin samples from superficial lesions were also obtained in 5 of them. Samples we...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus containing mecC in Swedish dairy cows
BACKGROUND Hitherto, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has not been detected in Swedish cattle. However, due to the report of mecC, a novel homologue to the mecA gene, there was reason to re-evaluate susceptibility results from strain collections of Staphylococcus aureus and test suspected isolates for the presence of mecC. FINDINGS Bovine isolates of S. aureus with elevated ...
