Abstract

One hundred and thirty-one strains of the Staphylococcus intermedius group (SIG), 39 strains of coagulase negative Staphylococci (CNS), and 8 strains of S. aureus (SA) were isolated from bacteria-infected dogs and cats brought to Osaka Prefecture University Veterinary Medical Center from 2009 to 2011. Forty-nine percent of SIG (64 strains), 46 percent of CNS (18 strains), and 25 percent of SA (2 strains) were methicillin-resitant (MR). More than 80 percent of strains of MRSIG were sensitive to tetracycline, doxycycline (DOXY), minocycline (MINO), or vancomycin (VCM); more than 80 percent of MRCNS were sensitive to clindamycin, MINO, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (ST), or VCM; and more than 80 percent of MRSA were sensitive to DOXY, amikacin, chloramphenicol, ST or VCM.
