Phylogenetic association among strains of Staph Aureus from pets and people

Written By My Vet Candy

Companion animals are usually a reservoir of various microorganisms of zoonotic importance and can transmit these pathogens to humans.Methicillin resistance Staph Aureus (MRSA) is an example of such pathogens.

This research scrutinizes the various pets (dogs and cats) as pools of different strains of MSRA and their genetic similarities. To evaluate these correspondences, 100 swabs from spouse animals and 70 swabs from infected owners were gathered.Different microbiological processes assessed samples to obtainthe genetic similarities of extricated strains from animals and humans. MRSA prevalence was more in dogs than cats and humans.

These results indicated a considerable similarity among all the recovered variants of MSRA, suggesting that pets could play a crucial role in transmitting MRSA strains in human beings and vice versa.
