Uneven distribution of staphylococcal species was observed among different body locations. The 39 isolates were <jats:italic>S.\u00a0aureus<\/jats:italic> (n\u00a0=\u00a015), <jats:italic>S. felis<\/jats:italic> (n\u00a0=\u00a010), <jats:italic>S. pseudintermedius<\/jats:italic> (n\u00a0=\u00a08) and other staphylococci (n\u00a0=\u00a06). Eight different <jats:italic>S.\u00a0aureus spa<\/jats:italic>\u2010types associated with human clonal complexes were identified. Antimicrobial resistance was observed to penicillin (56.4%), tetracycline (46.2%), enrofloxacin (33.3%), erythromycin (28.2%), amikacin (25.6%), clindamycin (23.1%), marbofloxacin (15.4%), gentamicin (12.8%), trimethoprim\u2010sulfamethoxazole (10.3%), chloramphenicol (7.7%) and cefoxitin\/oxacillin (5.1%).
