Abstrakt: Objectives: To characterize the mobile genetic elements and genetic localization of ileS2 in high-level mupirocin-resistant (Hi-MupR) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) and MRSA isolates recovered from canine and feline clinical samples.
Methods: The identification of bacterial species and presence of mecA and ileS2 genes in MRSP and MRSA isolates were performed using MALDI-TOF MS and PCR, respectively. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes were determined by broth microdilution assays. The genome characteristics, ileS2-containing elements and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) were illustrated using complete circular genomes obtained from hybrid assembly of Illumina short-reads and Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-reads. These were analysed through phylogenetic and bioinformatics approaches.
Results: A total of 18 MRSP clinical isolates and four MRSA clinical isolates exhibited the Hi-MupR phenotype and carried multiple AMR genes, including mecA and ileS2 genes. MRSP ST182-SCCmec V (n = 6) and ST282-ΨSCCmec57395-t10 (n = 4) contained the ileS2 transposable unit associated with IS257 on the chromosome. Three MRSA ST398-SCCmec V-t034/t4652 isolates carried ∼42 kb pSK41-like ileS2 plasmids, whereas similar ileS2 plasmids lacking tra genes were found in MRSP ST282-ΨSCCmec57395-t72/t21 isolates. Furthermore, a new group of ileS2 plasmids, carried by MRSP ST45-ΨSCCmec57395, ST433-ΨSCCmecKW21-t05 and ST2165-SCCmec IV-t06, and by one MRSA ST398-SCCmec V-t034 strain, shared the plasmid backbone with the cfr/fexA-carrying plasmid pM084526_1 in MRSA ST398.
Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence of ileS2 integration into the S. pseudintermedius chromosome, which is a rare occurrence in staphylococcal species, and plasmids played a pivotal role in dissemination of ileS2 in both staphylococcal species.
