Overview

Bacteriological analysis reveals high multidrug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from mastitic cows, highlighting an urgent need for responsible antimicrobial stewardship.

Key Points

  • Multidrug resistance was identified in 43.2% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine milk samples, driven by widespread resistance to ampicillin and penicillin.
  • Isolates exhibited 100% susceptibility to ceftriaxone and gentamicin, whereas resistance reached 84.1% against ampicillin among 44 tested bacterial isolates.
  • Standard bacteriological methods and Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion testing call for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship to curb resistance in dairy cattle operations.
