BEURON, D. C. [Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens causing mastitis in dairy herds]. Prevalência e susceptibilidade antimicrobiana de patógenos causadores de mastite em rebanhos leiteiros. 2012. 120 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) – Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia da Universidade de São Paulo, Pirassununga, 2012. The aims of this study were: a) to evaluate the frequency of mastitis pathogens in commercial dairy herds, b) to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. isolated from subclinical mastitis c) to evaluate the profile of multidrug resistance of Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. d) to detect the mecA gene in Staphylococcus spp. resistant to oxacillin / methicillin, e) to evaluate the association between management practices and treatment of mastitis, and antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from dairy herds. Thirteen dairy herds were selected from a total of 60 dairy farms in the region of Pirassununga / SP. Questionnaires formulated previously were answered by dairy farmers to evaluate the association between mastitis treatment practices and antimicrobial susceptibility. A total of 1,069 composite samples of milk from all herds were collected for culture and identification of pathogens, susceptibility testing and mecA gene detection, over 24 months in four periods. The susceptibility tests were performed in all isolates of Staphylococcus spp. and in 50% of Streptococcus spp. randomly selected. The antimicrobials tested were ampicillin 10mg; 2μg clindamycin, penicillin 1mg; ceftiofour 30μg; gentamicin 10mg; sulfatrimetropin 25μg, 5μg enrofloxacin; 300μg sulfonamide, tetracycline 30μg; oxacillin 1mg; 30μg cephalothin and erythromycin 5μg. All Staphylococcus spp. that were resistant to oxacillin/methicillin in the susceptibility tests were investigated for the presence of mecA gene. Among the isolated bacteria, CNS was the most prevalent (28.6%), followed by S. aureus (27.8%) and Corynebacterium spp. (10.9%). The antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates of S. aureus was 95.23% (erythromycin), 93.33% (cephalothin) and 65.71% (ampicillin). The antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) was 93.33% (cephalothin), 89.91% (erythromycin) and 62.03% (ceftiofur). Among strains of coagulase positive Staphylococcus (CPS), the antimicrobial susceptibility was 93.33% (erythromycin), 91.11% (clindamycin and sulfonamide). The antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains of Streptococcus agalactiae was 38.46% (ampicillin) and 50% (sulfatrimetropin) and isolates of S. dysgalactiae were susceptible to tetracycline and clindamycin (19.44% to 47.22%). The multidrug resistance was higher among isolates of CNS (20.3%) and Staphylococcus aureus (15.7%). The mecA gene was not detected in any of Staphylococcus spp isolates. There was an association between variables for the following antimicrobials: a) treatment of clinical mastitis: ampicillin (P = 0.0055), ceftiofur (P = 0.0481), sulfatrimetropin (P = 0.0293), sulfonamide (P = 0.0043) and tetracycline (P = 0.0058); and sending samples for culture and antibiogram: ampicillin (P = 0.0032), tetracycline (P = <0.0001). Major risk factors for antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus were not submitting samples for culture and antibiogram for tetracycline (OR = 6.012), penicillin (OR = 4.687), erythromycin (OR = 3.059) and ampicillin (OR = 2.571), treatment of clinical mastitis: ampicillin (OR = 2.178), ceftiofur (OR = 1.956), gentamicin (OR = 1.668), oxacillin (OR = 1.132) and penicillin (OR = 1.261); and dry cow therapy: enrofloxacin (OR = 2.111) and tetracycline (OR = 2.075). The most frequent organisms isolated were coagulase negative Staphylococcus and S. aureus. The susceptibility tests performed for the species of Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. showed high susceptibility to most antimicrobials tested. With the exception of Streptococcus agalactiae to ampicillin and sulfatrimetropin and isolates of S. dysgalactiae to tetracycline and clindamycin. Most Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. did not show multidrug resistance profile. None of Staphylococcus spp. phenotypically resistant to oxacillin / methicillin showed the mecA gene. The major risk factor associated with susceptibility of S. aureus to tetracycline, penicillin, erythromycin and ampicillin was not sending samples for culture and sensitivity. Two important risk factors have been identified related to ampicillin, ceftiofur, gentamicin, penicillin and oxacillin for treatment of clinical mastitis and enrofloxacin and tetracycline for the treatment of dry cow dry cow therapy.
