Abstract:
The present study was conducted for the isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from bovine subclinical mastitis milk samples. A total of 236 milk samples from bovine subclinical mastitis milk were collected from a different region of Patna, Bihar during Jan. 2021 to March 2022. By conventional enrichment and plating, the characteristic colony of S. aureus was produced from 44.07% samples. By biochemical and molecular confirmation S. aureus was detected among 16.95% of subclinical mastitis milk. The isolates showed 100% resistant to penicillin and amoxicillin while higher resistant to ampicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefoxitin, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
