The antimicrobial susceptibility of 73 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dogs and cats was determined against 16 antimicrobial agents. All isolates were susceptible to cephalothin (CF), vancomycin (VA), rifampin (RA), quinupristin-dalfopristin (SYN) and linezolid (LZD), whereas more than 86.3% of the isolates were resistant to penicillin (P). In the case of enterotoxin production, 8.2% of 73 strains produced enterotoxin A and 1 strain produced enterotoxin C. Appropriate protocols for antimicrobial agents and strategies to reduce antimicrobial resistance will need to be investigated in the future.
