Molecular identification, antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profiling of Staphylococcus spp. associated with bovine sub-clinical mastitis in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to investigate the diversity and antimicrobial resistance profiling of Staphylococcus species causing sub-clinical mastitis (SCM) in dairy herds in Bangladesh as well as putative risk factors associated with the infections. Individual quarter milk samples were collected from a total of 284 lactating cows from 30 dairy farms were screened by means of California mastitis test; 178 (62.7%) of them had at least of quarter affected by SCM. After conventional microbiological isolation procedures, PCR tests were used for Staphylococcus species identification and detection of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes. S. chromogenes (65.7%) was the most predominant species followed by, S. epidermidis (20.2%), S. haemolyticus (19.1%), <
