我们通过多位点序列分型（MLST）确定了日本猫和犬金黄色葡萄球菌菌株的群体遗传结构。生态分析表明，多种猫科动物相关的S。金黄色葡萄球菌克隆，包括ST 133，天然存在为寄生虫，并可引起猫科动物的内源性感染。相反，S.金黄色葡萄球菌种群不可能包括在家犬中表现出向性的任何克隆。即使S.金黄色葡萄球菌感染发生在狗，病理可能是外源性感染。
We determined the population genetic structures of feline and canine Staphylococcus aureus strains in Japan by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Ecological analyses suggested that multiple feline-related S. aureus clones, including ST133, naturally occur as commensals and can cause endogenous infections in felines. In contrast, S. aureus populations do not likely include any clone that exhibits tropism in domestic dogs. Even if S. aureus infections occur in dogs, the pathologies are likely exogenous infections.
