Genetic Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus From Subclinical Mastitis Cases in Dairy Cows in Rwanda

Whole-genome sequencing was carried out on 30 Staphylococcus (S.) aureus isolates from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis from all five provinces of Rwanda. Twenty-five of the isolates produced enough sequence to be analyzed using core genome multilocus sequence typing (cg-MLST). The isolates grou...

The largest cluster contain isolates of sequence type (ST) 152 (n = 6) and the closely related ST1633 (n = 2). These sequence types have previously mainly been encountered in humans. The isolates of the second-largest cluster belong to ST5477 (n = 5),so far exclusively isolated from cows in Rwanda. The third cluster consists of isolates of ST97 (n = 4), which is a well-known bovine-adapted sequence type. These three clusters were all widespread over the country. Isolates of the usually human-adapted sequence types 1 (n = 2) and 5 (n= 1) were found and a single isolate of ST2430, previously found among humans in Africa.

Five (20%) of the isolates carried a tetracycline resistance gene, tet(K) or tetM, and three of these five also displayed phenotypic resistance while two isolates carried a tetM-gene but were yet tetracycline susceptible. Seven (28%) isolates carried the dfrG gene conferring resistance to trimethoprim. Four of these isolates indeed were resistant to trimethoprim while three isolates were sensitive.
