Clonal diversity of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus from South Australian wallabies

Seven methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus nasal isolates from apparently healthy captive and wild wallabies were characterised by DNA microarray and antibiotic susceptibility assays. Isolates were found to belong to uncommon clonal complexes including those previously associated with birds,...

Zusammenfassung:Seven methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus nasal isolates from apparently healthy captive and wild wallabies were characterised by DNA microarray and antibiotic susceptibility assays. Isolates were found to belong to uncommon clonal complexes including those previously associated with birds, pigs and humans. •First study of commensal staphylococci in apparently healthy Australian macropods.•Resistance and virulence genes were rare in these MSSA isolates.•Recent transmission of MSSA-CC15 from humans to wallabies.•“Australian” S. aureus clones ST93 and ST1850 were not recovered.
