Resumo
o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência da mastite caprina causada por Staphylococcus spp. em três rebanhos do Estado de São Paulo, bem como conhecer as características fenotípicas e genotípicas das cepas isoladas. Por outro lado, através dos testes de susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos e da PCR-ribotipagem, pretendeu-se, também, verificar a relação epidemiológica existente entre as cepas de Staphylococcus spp. isoladas em amostras de leite, óstio do teto, lesão em pele do teto e ordenhadeira, assim como de mãos, tonsilas e fossas nasais de ordenhadores. A prevalência da mastite subclínica foi de 12,0%, 10,7% e 26,6% nos rebanhos pertencentes às três propriedades estudadas, nos quais Staphylococcus coagulase negativa foi o principal agente envolvido na etiologia dos casos. O teste de susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos revelou que 100% das cepas foram sensíveis à gentamicina, a neomicina e ao cefoperazone e, ainda, que a resistência frente a ampicilina e penicilina foi observada em 25,2% das cepas. A análise molecular revelou estreita relação entre as cepas isoladas de amostras de leite e óstio de teto. Cepas isoladas dos insufladores da ordenhadeira, assim como as de fossas nasais dos ordenhadores, têm participação na epidemiologia das mastites em cabras. A PCR-ribotipagem permitiu avaliar a relação epidemiológica existente entre as cepas isoladas de forma mais eficiente que o teste de susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos. A compreensão dessas relações epidemiológicas é necessária para a implementação de medidas eficazes no controle e prevenção das mastites em cabras.
The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of goat mastitis due to Staphylococcus spp. in three flocks from São Paulo State, as well as understand the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the strains isolated. Otherwise, epidemiological relationship between the strains isolated from milk, teat ends, skin lesions, milking units and milking personnel was investigated by the antimicrobial susceptibility and PCR-ribotyping. The prevalence of subclinical mastitis was 12,0%, 10,7% and 26,6% for the three flocks studied and coagulase negative Staphylococcus was the most prevalent agent isolated. Antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed 100% of sensibility to gentamicin, neomycin and cephoperazon and, in addition, the resistance to ampicillin and penicillin in 25,2% of the strains isolated. Molecular analysis showed close relationship between strains isolated from milk and teat ends. Strains isolated from milking units, as well as strains isolated from nasal swabs of the milking personnel, play an important role on goat mastitis epidemiology. PCR-ribotyping was more efficient than antimicrobial susceptibility test to evaluate the epidemiological relationship between the strains isolated. An understanding of these epidemiological relationships is necessary for the design of more effective mastitis control programs.
