Genotypic profile of Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp., and E. coli colonizing dogs, surgeons, and environment during the intraoperative period: a cross-sectional study in a veterinary teaching hospital in Brazil
Our study revealed high rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. and tetracycline-resistant Enterococcus spp. colonizing the environment in a veterinary teaching hospital in Brazil. PFGE analysis indicated a high diversity of CoNS and Enterococcus spp. Genetically related strains in S. pseudintermedius, Enterococcus spp., and E. coli emphasize the importance of effective infection control policies to minimize the spread of resistant bacteria.
