Antimicrobial Resistance, Multilocus Sequence, and <i>spa</i> Typing of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolated from Retail Raw Meat Products.

ABSTRACT: With a high capacity to acquire antimicrobial resistance, Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen causing severe infections in animals and humans. A total of 50 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from retail ground beef, chicken meat, and fish were characterized by antimicrobial resistance profiling, staphylococcal protein A gene (spa) typing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The broth microdilution test results showed that all isolates were resistant to penicillin and sulphamethoxazole but had varying resistance rates to tetracycline (24%), erythromycin (4%), gentamicin (2%), ciprofloxacin (2%), trimethoprim (2%), and chloramphenicol (0%). The blaZ and sulI genes were detected in 100% of the isolates followed by grlA (94%), norA (9
