The escalating global concern of antimicrobial resistance in human and veterinary
medicine is exacerbated by the inappropriate prescription of antibiotics for bacterial
infections in companion animals. This study aimed to determine the distribution of
coagulase-positive staphylococci causing clinical skin and ear infections in dogs and to
determine methicillin-resistant isolates. A total of 78 staphylococcal strains were isolated
from clinical samples taken from patients at the Dermatology Clinic at the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade, Serbia. Multiplex PCR was used for species-specific
identification, and mecA and mecC genes were used to determine methicillin resistance,
in addition to phenotypic determination, MIC values and detection of PBP2a. Out of
the 78 samples analyzed, 65.8% were identified as Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, 22.4% as
S. aureus, 7.9% as S. coagulans, and 3.9% as S. intermedius. Four S. aureus isolates exhibited
methicillin resistance conf...irmed by cefoxitin disk diffusion, while five were confirmed
with MIC testing and latex agglutination. MecA gene was detected in 29.4% of S. aureus
and 30% of S. pseudintermedius isolates. These isolates were classified as methicillin-
resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP),
respectively. No isolates carried the mecC gene. This study provides insights into the
prevalence of CoPS species and methicillin resistance in isolates from dogs. Continued
surveillance is essential to monitor and understand the emergence and dissemination of
antimicrobial resistance in veterinary medicine and the results of this study accent the
need for establishment of a continuous antimicrobial resistance surveillance program
in the Republic of Serbia.
