Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a neonatal alpaca.

Jason W Stull1, Daniel G Kenney, Durda Slavić, J Scott Weese.   

Abstract

A 6-hour-old alpaca was presented for evaluation of respiratory difficulty. As part of routine surveillance, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was identified from a nasal swab taken upon admission to the hospital. No signs of MRSA infection were noted. The MRSA strain recovered was a human epidemic clone that has been associated with horses. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus colonization can occur in camelids, and the potential animal and public health risks require consideration.
