TI  - Methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci isolated from horses.
PG  - 311-4
AB  - A methicillin-resistant (MR) Staphylococcus epidermidis strain was isolated from 
      a saddle horse affected by osteolysis. MR coagulase-negative staphylococci 
      (MRCNS) were isolated from 11 of 14 (78.8%) horses housed in the same riding 
      club. By typing of the SCCmec region, almost the strains displayed a non typeable 
      (NT) pattern and possessed the ccr type 2. Altogether, the high prevalence of 
      MRCNS and the detection of NT SCCmec types support the hypothesis that horses may 
      represent a reservoir of MRCNS for humans and that equine MRCNS may act as 
      potential source of resistance genes for other staphylococci.
