This study characterized 23 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from pigs with signs of infections in Spanish farms during 2018-2019. Two major livestock-associated genetic lineages were detected, with the presence of multidrug-resistant cfr gene among LA-MRSA-CC398 being a major concern. Continuous surveillance and awareness for LA-MRSA are necessary.
Aims: To perform the molecular characterization of 23 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from pigs with signs of infections recovered in Spanish farms during 2018-2019. Methods and Results: The antimicrobial resistance pattern and virulence profile were determined. The molecular typing was performed by different molecular techniques. The transferability of the cfr gene was assessed by conjugation and its genetic environment was determined by PCR mapping. In all, 21 isolates were methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecA gene (SCCmecV or non-typeable SCCmec), whereas the remaining two were methicillin-susceptible (MSSA). All but one MRSA isolates (n = 20) belonged to the CC398, being the spa t011 the most prevalent (n = 11). The remaining MRSA and the two MSSA isolates were ascribed to ST9/CC9. The S. aureus isolates exhibited resistance to (number of resistant isolates): beta-lactamics (21), erythromycin and/or clindamycin (20), aminoglycosides (7), tetracycline (22), fluoroquinolones (14), chloramphenicol (5) and linezolid (1). The S. aureus isolates did not carry any of the virulence genes studied. One MRSA belonging to the CC398 showed linezolid resistance mediated by the cfr gene. The cfr gene was co-located with fexA in the Tn558 variant previously reported in the S. aureus plasmid pSCFS7. Conclusions:Two major livestock-associated genetic lineages were detected among pigs with signs of infection in Spain. The presence of the cfr gene among LA-MRSA-CC398 is of great concern not only for veterinary medicine, but also for humans in close contact. Significance and Impact of the Study: This work describes the molecular characterization of S. aureus isolates recovered from pigs with signs of infection and we report, as far as we know, the first description of MRSA-CC9 from pigs in Spain. Moreover, the detection of a MRSA-CC398 isolate carrying the multiresistance cfr gene highlights the need for continuous surveillance and awareness of LA-MRSA.
