Antibiogram and virulence profiling reveals multidrug resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> as the predominant aetiology of subclinical mastitis in riverine buffaloes

Abstract

This study therefore suggests S. aureus as the single-most aetiology (∼37.0%) of SCM in riverine buffaloes, and emergence of MDR, enterotoxin producing, and virulent S. aureus strains could impose potential threats to animal welfare and public health.
