Abstract
Detection of the mecA gene in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from the nasal cavity of pigs - Preliminary data
Highlights
Regarding One health, the emergence of resistant bacteria is extremely important, especially when dealing with Staphylococcus spp. that are responsible for diseases in different hosts, such as cattle, birds, sheep, pigs, companion animals and humans (Coelho et al, 2007; Masson et al, 2012)
The objective of this study was, to carry out the genetic characterization of Staphylococcus spp. resistance to methicillin in pigs slaughtered in a slaughterhouse inspected by the Federal Inspection Service (SIF) in the northwestern region of Paraná, Brazil
Thirty nasal swab samples were collected from adult pigs slaughtered in a SIF-inspected slaughterhouse from the northwestern region of Paraná
