ABSTRACT
In Europe, a novel mecA homologue - mecC (formerly mecALGA251) - has emerged recently in staphylococci from animals, humans and the environment. This paper reports the first occurrence of the mecC gene in Staphylococcus sciuri from cows and manure in Tunisia and Africa. Forty-nine coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were isolated from the milk of cows with mastitis (n=20), manure (n=20) and human nares (n=9), including 16 Staphylococcus equoruim (32.6%), 12 S. xylosus (24.5%), 12 S. sciuri (24.5%), two S. saprophyticus (4.1%), two S. haemolyticus (4.1%), two S. lentus (4.1%), two S. vitulinus (4.1%) and one S. cohnii (2%). CNS from the three origins carried various resistance genes [mecA, blaZ, tet(K), erm(A), erm(B), msr(A)], suggesting an ongoing genetic exchange among CNS from the three niches. The mecA gene was detected in CNS (n=11) recovered from cows, manure and humans, whereas the mecC gene (n=3) was only detected in CNS from cows and manure. Various staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) - SCCmec type I (n=1), II (n=3), IV (n=2), V/VII (n=2) and untypeable (n=3) - and diverse pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns were observed in mecA-positive CNS. Otherwise, similar SCCmec types and PFGE patterns were found in meticillin-resistant CNS within different farms and origins, showing the potential of SCCmec interspecies exchange and circulation of the same clones of meticillin-resistant CNS in the human-animal-environment interface. This study provides baseline data to support clonal dissemination of CNS between cows, humans and manure, and indicates the possible transmission of the mecC gene to humans in contact with cows and manure.
