Exploring the Presence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-Encoding Gene in Dogs' Nasal Swab Samples
Abstract
This research aimed to identify the gene responsible for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) production in canine nasal swabs taken from the Surabaya, Indonesia. There were 85 places in Surabaya where dogs' nostrils were swabbed. Identification of bacteria included growth on Mannitol Salt Agar, Gram staining, and tests for the enzyme catalase coagulase and Voges Proskauer (VP). Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were successfully isolated from 47 90 specimens (50.59 %). The percentage of MRSA isolates confirmed by the Oxacillin Resistant Screen Agar Base (ORSAB) was 29.41% through 30 isolates. The existence of the mecA gene could not be established in 10 (5.88%) of the isolates using PCR-based genetic analysis. It was determined that domesticated dogs provide a public health risk by serving as a reservoir for MRSA strains. To better understand the incidence and possible significance of dogs in MRSA exchange, investigators and veterinary practitioners may examine the presence of MRSA-encoding genes in nasal swab samples from dogs.
