ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes of 268 non-duplicated coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) previously obtained from nasotracheal cavities of nestling storks were characterized. They included S. sciuri isolates (n = 191), and non-sciuri-CoNS isolates (NSc-CoNS, n = 77). All S. sciuri carried the intrinsic salA gene (for clindamycin-resistance) and so, clindamycin was not considered for general analysis in this species. About 71.7%/41.6% of the S. sciuri/NSc-CoNS isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics tested; moreover, 14.1%/16.9% and 3.1%/20.8% of S. sciuri/NSc-CoNS showed single antibiotic resistance and multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, respectively. Of the ten mecA-positive CoNS isolates, six were associated with SCCmec types-III, -IV or -V elements. Remarkably was the detection of one MDR-S. lentus isolate carrying both mecA and mecC genes, as well as the SCCmec type-XI element. MDR-CoNS was relatively higher in nestlings of parent storks foraging in landfills (21.3%) than those in natural areas (9.7%) (χ2 = 3.421, df=1, p = 0.064). AMR phenotypes (and genes detected) include penicillin (blaZ, blaARL), erythromycin-clindamycin-constitutive (ermA, ermC, ermT), clindamycin (lnuA, salA, vgaA), erythromycin (msrA, mphC), tetracycline (tetK, tetL, tetM), tobramycin (ant4'), tobramycin-gentamicin (aac6'-aph2â³), sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (dfrA, dfrG, dfrK), chloramphenicol (fexA, fexB, catPC221), and mupirocin (mupA). Interestingly, one S. epidermidis isolate carried the ermT gene. About 29.9% of nestlings harboured more than one non-duplicated CoNS (with varied 2-5 AMR profiles). This study demonstrated that most of the CoNS isolates were susceptible to all the antibiotics tested (63.1%). However, AMR genes of public health importance were found, including the mecC-mediated methicillin resistance trait.
