TI  - Recovery of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus species from pet-grooming salons.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Meticillin-resistant (MR) staphylococcal species have been cultured 
      from veterinary hospital environments and veterinary instruments. Pet-grooming 
      salon environments and grooming tools may pose a risk for dissemination of MR 
      staphylococcal bacteria into the pet population. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of 
      this study were to investigate the frequency of MR staphylococcal colonization of 
      pet-grooming salons and to collect information regarding cleaning procedures in 
      grooming salons. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A nonrandomized, observational study was 
      performed in 2018. Locations inside 19 grooming salons near Tacoma, WA, USA, were 
      sampled and selectively cultured for MR, coagulase-positive staphylococci. 
      Sampled sites included clipper blades and handles, leashes, rims of bathtub 
      drains, insides of shampoo caps, and bathtub spray hoses or faucet handles. 
      Grooming salons were asked to complete surveys regarding their cleaning 
      practices. RESULTS: Meticillin-resistant coagulase-positive staphylococci were 
      isolated from 12 of 19 grooming salons and 25 of 112 total samples. 
      Meticillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius, S. aureus and S. schleiferi were 
      isolated from multiple salons, most commonly from electric clipper blades, 
      clipper handles and grooming leashes. No statistically significant correlations 
      were identified between cleaning practices and the isolation of MR 
      coagulase-positive staphylococci. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Clipper 
      blades, clipper handles and leashes are potential fomites for MR staphylococci in 
      a grooming salon; increased disinfection practices for these items are indicated. 
      A prospective, controlled, large-scale study is warranted to examine the effect 
      of grooming salon hygiene practices on the isolation of MR staphylococci in 
      salons.
