Members of the genus <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> sp. belong to the microbiota of the oral mucosa of cats and are frequently involved in secondary infections of these wounds. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> species isolated from oral mucosa of cats. Samples were collected from 200 clinically healthy cats and processed by standard bacteriological methods and tested for susceptibility to a panel of 16 antimicrobials. A total of 212 staphylococci isolates were obtained from 141 of the 200 cats (70.5%), and more than one colony was recognized in 53 cases. Coagulase\u2010negative species were most frequently found (89.6%) distributed among <jats:italic>Staphylococcus xylosus<\/jats:italic> (50.9%), <jats:italic>Staphylococcus felis<\/jats:italic> (27.4%), <jats:italic>Staphylococcus simulans<\/jats:italic> (6.1%) and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus sciuri<\/jats:italic> (5.2%). Coagulase\u2010positive species (10.4%) were distributed among <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> (4.7%) and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus intermedius<\/jats:italic> group (SIG) (5.7%). Regarding to antimicrobial resistance, 178 isolates (83.9%) were resistant to at least one antimicrobial, and rifampicin showed the best results with 100% of sensitive strains. Conversely, high rates of resistance were observed for penicillin and tetracycline (56.1%). The 212 staphylococci isolates and 30 (14.1%) strains were resistant to methicillin (on the disc susceptibility test) and may be preliminarily considered as methicilin\u2010resistant staphylococci. In conclusion, this study reports important rates of antimicrobial resistance among the species of <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> isolated from clinical specimens of cats, which must be considered for the treating of cats\u2019 bites in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,21]],"date-time":"2012-12-21T20:40:44Z","timestamp":1356122444000},"page":"504-509","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Treating Animal Bites: Susceptibility of Staphylococci from Oral Mucosa of Cats"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"I.
