Abstract

The objective was to evaluate contamination by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus in the operative field of bitches submitted to ovariohysterectomy. Forty samples of skin swabs were collected, one per animal. Subsequently, these samples were subjected to microbiological and molecular analysis. Staphylococcus spp. were identified in 40% (16/40) of the samples analyzed, all were coagulase-positive Staphylococcus. Of these, the following resistance profiles were presented: penicillin G 43.75% (7/16), oxacillin 50% (8/16), cefoxitin 12.5% ??(2/16), cephalexin 37.5% (6 / 16) and amoxicillin with 12.5% ??clavulanic acid (2/16). Two isolates carried the mecA gene and were identified as Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. The data obtained revealed the first detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus isolated in dogs in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, and the need to monitor the resistance profile of antimicrobials used in veterinary medicine and the possible transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus between humans and animals.
