Sequencing of MRSA from dogs in remote Australia
A total of 383 pets (303 dogs and 80 cats) were recruited from six communities in Western NSW. Three swabs were collected from each animal (anterior nares, oropharynx and perineum) and from skin lesions or wounds if present and cultured on selective media for methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Twelve MRSA isolates were sequenced.
