<i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i> is an important pathogen responsible for infections in dogs and in humans. The emergence and dissemination of methicillin-resistant <i>S. pseudintermedius</i> (MRSP) and the multidrug resistance frequently seen in this species make difficult the treatment of these pathogens. The cefoxitin disk is widely used as a marker of methicillin resistance mediated by the <i>mecA</i> gene in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and other staphylococcal species; however, it is not useful to detect β-lactam resistance of MRSP in clinical microbiology laboratories. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the molecular bases of the dissociated phenotype between oxacillin and cefoxitin antibiotics. By using a combinatorial approach that included the Penicillin-Binding Proteins’ (PBP) profile, their affinity for different β-lactam antibiotics and the analyses of PBPs’ sequence, we provide evidence that PBP4 showed still affinity for its target cefoxitin, impairing its phenotypic resistant detection in MRSP. Together, these findings provide evidence that <i>S. pseudintermedius</i> PBP4 is directly associated with the dissociated oxacillin and cefoxitin phenotype. |
