초록

1살령 수컷 버미즈 비단뱀(Burmese python, Python molurus bivittatus)이 탈피 후 좌측 눈이 흐려지는 것을 주증으로 내원하였다. 뱀은 신체검사와 병력을 토대로, 서브스펙타클의 농양(subspectacular abscess)으로 진단되었다. 원인이 된 병원체는 메티실린 내성 황색 포도상구균(methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA)으로 확인되었다. MRSA는 인수공통적으로 중요한 병원체이며 공중보건과 수의학에서도 중요하게 여겨진다. 이 증례 보고는 MRSA에 감염된 뱀에 대한 최초의 보고이다.

A 1-year-old, male, captive born Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) presented with cloudiness of the left eye after ecdysis. Based on physical examination and history, subspectacular abscess was diagnosed. The causative microorganism was identified as a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA is a zoonotic problem of high concern and is a risk in public health and veterinary medicine. To our limited knowledge, this is the first reported case of MRSA infection in snakes.
