Prevalence and clonal diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from dogs and cats with eye discharge.

Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) has originated, spread extensively, and become a prominent source of bacterial infections in both human and animal.

Methods: We report the prevalence, genetic diversity, and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from dogs and cats with eye discharges.

Results: A total of 12 (6.

Prevalence of Colistin Resistance in in Eastern Turkey and Genomic Characterization of an Positive Strain from Retail Chicken Meat.

Colistin is one of the most effective antibiotics against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, the recent emergence of plasmid-borne mobilized colistin resistance () genes is considered a serious antimicrobial resistance challenge worldwide. In this study, we report detection of an carrying isolate (named ATAVET -1 Turkey) from retail raw chicken meat in Turkey.
