To understand species distribution, trends of antimicrobial susceptibility and prevalence of methicillin resistance in canine staphylococci in Japan, 190 coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) were isolated from dogs with pyoderma in 2 Japanese veterinary referral hospitals. Using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) method, two CoPS species were identified: 170 Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (89.5%) and 20 S. schleiferi subsp. coagulans isolates (10.5%). In these isolates, susceptibility to 7 antimicrobial agents was determined. Overall, the levels of susceptibility to cefalexin (CEX), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (CVA/AMPC), minocycline (MINO), ofloxacin (OFLX), norfloxacin (NFLX), lincomycin (LCM) and clindamycin (CLDM) in S. pseudintermedius isolates were 38.2, 52.4, 34.7, 31.2, 34.1, 1.2 and 11.2%, respectively. In S. schleiferi subsp. coagulans isolates, 55% demonstrated susceptibility to CEX, 80% to CVA/AMPC, 70% to MINO, 45% to OFLX or NFLX and 30% to CLDM. None of S. schleiferi subsp. coagulans isolates was susceptible to LCM. To determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains, we used a PCR method, which enabled detection of the fragment of mecA gene in 66.5% (113 of 170) in S. pseudintermedius and 30.0% (6 of 20) in S. schleiferi subsp. coagulans isolates. The frequencies of susceptibility to CEX, CVA/AMPC, OFLX, NFLX and CLDM were significantly lower in methicillin-resistant CoPS than in methicillin-susceptible CoPS isolates. These data suggest a high level of methicillin resistance in staphylococci isolated from dogs with pyoderma in Japan.
为了解日本犬葡萄球菌的物种分布、抗菌药物敏感性趋势和耐甲氧西林情况,从日本两家兽医转诊医院的脓皮病犬中分离出190株凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌(CoPS)。采用多重聚合酶链反应(M-PCR)方法,鉴定出两种CoPS物种:170株中间型葡萄球菌(89.5%)和20株施氏葡萄球菌凝固亚种分离株(10.5%)。对这些分离株测定了对7种抗菌药物的敏感性。总体而言,中间型葡萄球菌分离株对头孢氨苄(CEX)、阿莫西林/克拉维酸(CVA/AMPC)、米诺环素(MINO)、氧氟沙星(OFLX)、诺氟沙星(NFLX)、林可霉素(LCM)和克林霉素(CLDM)的敏感率分别为38.2%、52.4%、34.7%、31.2%、34.1%、1.2%和11.2%。在施氏葡萄球菌凝固亚种分离株中,55%对CEX敏感,80%对CVA/AMPC敏感,70%对MINO敏感,45%对OFLX或NFLX敏感,30%对CLDM敏感。施氏葡萄球菌凝固亚种分离株对LCM均不敏感。为确定耐甲氧西林菌株的流行情况,我们采用了一种PCR方法,该方法能够检测到中间型葡萄球菌中66.5%(170株中的113株)和施氏葡萄球菌凝固亚种分离株中30.0%(20株中的6株)的mecA基因片段。耐甲氧西林的CoPS对CEX、CVA/AMPC、OFLX、NFLX和CLDM的敏感率显著低于甲氧西林敏感的CoPS分离株。这些数据表明,从日本脓皮病犬中分离出的葡萄球菌耐甲氧西林水平较高。
