AB The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus (MRS) in healthy goats on the Island of Tenerife, Spain,as well as to identify the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the strainsfound. A cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted. A total of 158 goatsfrom 15 different farms were sampled between September 2017 and January2018. The percentage of positive samples of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus (MRSA) was 15.8% (25/158) and that of methicillin-resistant coagulasenegative staphylococci (MRCoNS) was 6.9% (11/158). All MRSA isolates fromgoats belonged to one clonal group showing Multi-Locus Sequence type 398. Allstrains studied (n = 36) were resistant to non-carbapenem beta-lactam antibioticsand susceptible to teicoplanin, linezolid, vancomycin, rifampicin, quinupristindalfospristin and mupirocine. In MRSA isolates, the highest percentage of resistance obtained, besides beta-lactam non-carbapenem antibiotics, was to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and, in the case of MRCoNS isolates, to phosphomycin and erythromycin. A total of 12 resistance patterns were obtained, presentingdifferences between patterns obtained for MRSA and MRCoNS, with 7 differentpatterns for MRSA and 5 for MRCoNS. We therefore consider it essential to expand the epidemiological study of these strains of animal origin, as well as to increase surveillance and control measures at all stages of the food chain.
