Are some animals more MRSA prone?

Are some animals more vulnerable to MRSA colonisation than others?

There is no clear-cut answer to which species may be more vulnerable, but current thinking is that dogs are probably less vulnerable to colonisation than other animals because the endemic strain of Staphylococcus is not Staph. aureus but Staph. intermedius, and this seems to make it harder for Staph. a (and MRSA) to get established. Vulnerability may depend much more on issues of health than on issues of species, and ill, old or very young animals may be much more at risk than healthy  mature animals.
