Characterization of methicillin-resistant non-Staphylococcus aureus staphylococci carriage isolates from different bovine populations

Abstract

The SCCmec types predominating in bovine MRNAS differ from those mostly detected in livestock-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains. Yet, the detection of cfr and the high level of other antimicrobial resistances suggest a potentially important role of bovine MRNAS as a reservoir for resistance determinants other than SCCmec.
