Résumé
Staphylococcus aureus, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), is an important zoonotic microorganism that increasingly causes public health concern worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and transmission of S. aureus in duck farms and evaluate its antimicrobial resistance and genetic characteristics. The samples associated with ducks, feeders, and the environment were collected on 14 duck farms from four areas in Guangdong, China, from 2020 to 2021. All isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. A comprehensive epidemiological survey of S. aureus was conducted by S. aureus protein A typing and whole-genome sequencing. A total of 560 samples were collected. The prevalence rate of MRSA among ducks (8.1%, 11 of 135) was higher compared with that in environmental samples. OptrA-positive ST398-t034 MRSA were first detected from duck farms in China. A total of 79.3% (34 of 46) S. aureus isolates showed multidrug-resistant phenotypes. Notably, some isolates carried multidrug-resistant genes encoding macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B, pleuromutilin-pleuromutilin-streptogramin A, and oxazolidinone. Analysis of the virulence genes revealed that the MRSA isolates carried genes encoding gamma-hemolysin, enterotoxin, and leukocidin. ST9-t899 is a primary clonal lineage among duck- and environment-associated MRSA. Single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis showed the potential contamination relationship of optrA-positive ST2308 MRSA isolates carrying the gamma-hemolysin genes and the leukocidin virulence genes between airborne dust and sick ducks. The contamination of MRSA, especially optrA-positive MRSA, between food animals and the environment is a growing public health concern worldwide. Based on One Health principles, continuous surveillance of MRSA is urgently needed.
