Detection of Virulence Genes and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Bovine Mastitis in Chagni, Northwestern Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland tissue that is generally associated with an infection. Staphylococcus aureus is a primary pathogen responsible for bovine mastitis worldwide. Nonetheless, there is limited information on virulence factors and resistance profile of Staphylococcus aureus associated with bovine mastitis in northwestern Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the frequency of virulence genes and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus in dairy cows with mastitis. A cross-sectional study with a simple random sampling method was conducted from October 2022 to June 2023 in Chagni town, Amhara region from a ranch and 20 smallholder farms. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and identified using standard bacteriological a
