One hundred and sixty-one strains of Staphylococcus intermedius group (SIG), 67 strains of coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), 18 strains of S. aureus (SA), 39 strains of Enterococcus faecalis, 15 strains of E. faecium, and 50 strains of Streptococcus spp. were isolated from bacteria-infected cats and dogs in one hospital from 2002 to 2010. Sixty-seven strains of methicillin-resistant (MR) SIG, 14 strains of MRCNS, and 1 strain of MRSA were isolated from dogs, and 11 strains of MRSIG, 11 strains of MRCNS, and 2 strains of MRSA were isolated from cats. MRSIG and MRCNS were sensitive to doxycycline. MRSA was sensitive to chloramphenicol. Although Streptococcus spp. were sensitive to many antimicrobial drugs, Enterococcus spp., especially E.faecium, were often resistant.
