Abstract

In Thailand, the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec ) element, which causes methicillin resistance through acquisition of the mec gene, has been studied in clinical coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates from various companion animals, and Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus hominis subsp. hominis were found to have the most nontypeable (NT)-SCC mec elements. These species are more prone to causing illness and more resistant to a variety of antimicrobials than other coagulase-negative staphylococci.
