ABSTRACT: In the field of cattle medicine in Austria, to date, few studies have investigated the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in Austria. For this reason, milk and nasal samples were examined for the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as well as fecal samples for extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli.
