Abstract:

A total of 202 animal samples (167 milk and 35 pus/exudate samples from cattle and buffalo) were collected and examined from dairy cattle and buffaloes. Simultaneously, 100 nasal swabs were collected from the closely associated personnel and farm workers. Out of these, the Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from86 (42.57%) animal and 62 (62%) human samples. Of these, total 9 isolates from animals and 20 isolates from human were identified as MRS positive. Out of 9 and 20 MRS isolates from animal and human, 1 (11.11%) and 2 (10%) isolate were Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase Positive Staphylococcus (MRCoPS), whereas 8 (88.89%) and 18 (90%) isolates were Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (MRCoNS), respectively. The SCCmec typing of 16 and 40 MRS (Including departmental isolates) isolates from animal and human were carried out. Out of these, the study revealed 18.75% (3/16) and 25% (10/40) isolates were classified as hospital associated methicillin-resistant staphylococci (HA-MRS), whereas 68.75% (11/16) and 45% (18/40) isolates were classified as community associated methicillin resistant staphylococci (CA-MRS) and 12.5% (2/16) and 30% (12/40) MRS isolates remained untypable, respectively. The overall percentage of CA-MRS (63.04%) was higher as compare to HA-MRS (28.26%) among both the species.
