Abstract
Background: The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) have a significant health impact on occupational peoples and pet owners. As there is a lack of knowledge on the carriage frequency of these two organisms in dogs in Bangladesh, we conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence and risk factor (s) of S. aureus, S. pseudintermedius, MRSA, and MRSP in clinically healthy and sick dogs.Methods and materials: A total of 358 swab samples were collected from different body sites of 150 dogs admitted to a university teaching hospital through January to July 2018. Standard bacteriological methods were followed for the isolation and identification of S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius and, which was further confirmed by the presence of the nuc and pse genes, respectively. The isolates were tested for the susceptibility to a panel of 14 antimicrobials. Isolates displayed resistance to cefoxitin and oxacillin were screened further for the presence of the mecA gene to identify MRSA and MRSP. The risk factors were investigated using multivariable logistic regression model.Results: The prevalence of S. aureus and S. psudintermedius in dogs were 16% (95% confidence interval (CI), 11–23%) and 49% (95% CI, 41–57%), respectively. Notably, all staphylococcal isolates showed resistance to ≥3 classes of antimicrobials (multi-drug resistant; MDR). The prevalence of MRSA and MRSP was 8.67% (95% CI, 5.02 to 14.38) and 6% (95% CI, 3.04 to 11.16), respectively. Dogs with dermatitis (odds ratio [OR], 12.24; 95% CI, 3.12 to 57.33; p Conclusion: The detection of chromosome mediated mec-A gene within the S. aureus and S. pseudintermedius isolates from dogs is an emerging finding in veterinary hospital as well as significant concern for human medicine.
