Abstract

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify encoding gene for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from nasal swab of dogs in Surabaya, Indonesia. Nasal swab of dogs of 85 samples obtained from  ve areas in Surabaya. Bacterial identi cation was based on the growth in Mannitol Salt Agar, Gram staining, catalase, coagulase and VP tests. 43 (50.59%) out of 85 samples were for positive Staphylococcus aureus isolation. MRSA con rmation by Oxacillin Resistant Screen Agar Base (ORSAB) were 25(29.41%). The molecular identi cation on mecA gene by PCR showed that 5(5.88%) isolates were positive contain mecA gene. It was concluded that the dogs as companion animals can be a potential reservoir for MRSA strains to threat public health. Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Dogs, mecA gene
