To determine the prevalence of selected coagulase-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRS) in the conjunctival sac in a group of healthy dogs and to compare the prevalence of ocular MRS colonization with colonization of typically assessed body sites including the nasal cavity and rectum.
123 healthy dogs were used in the prevalence study: 40 dogs from a shelter and 83 privately owned dogs.
The sampling procedure included culturing three separate sites per subject in the following order: the lower conjunctival fornices, the nares, and rectum.
A low prevalence of 1.6% (2/123) of MRS was detected in healthy dogs. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius was isolated from two dogs, one from a conjunctival swab and the other from a rectal swab.
The survey data indicate the ocular surface is a potential site of MRS colonization, although the prevalence was low in healthy dogs.
确定一组健康犬结膜囊中特定凝固酶阳性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRS）的流行情况，并比较眼部MRS定植率与包括鼻腔和直肠在内的典型评估身体部位的定植率。
123只健康犬用于患病率研究：40只来自收容所的犬和83只私人拥有的犬。
采样程序包括按以下顺序对每个受试者的三个不同部位进行培养：下结膜穹窿、鼻孔和直肠。
在健康犬中检测到MRS的患病率较低，为1.6%（2/123）。从两只犬中分离出耐甲氧西林中间型葡萄球菌，一只来自结膜拭子，另一只来自直肠拭子。
调查数据表明，眼表是MRS定植的潜在部位，尽管在健康犬中的患病率较低。
