Perfiles de resistencia antimicrobiana de Staphylococcus aureus aislados a partir de leche de vacas ubicadas en tambos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (original) (raw)

Bovine mastitis is the infectious disease with the greatest impact on world dairy production. In Argentina, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most important pathogen in terms of prevalence and pathogenicity. It can resist antimicrobial treatments through different mechanisms. Currently, there is great concern about antibiotic resistance, both in human medicine and animal health. In our country, there is scarce information about antimicrobial resistance on bovine mastitis strains. The main objective of the project was to evaluate the in Vitro susceptibility of S. aureus isolated from milk samples obtained in dairy farms located in Buenos Aires. Between 2015 and 2016, 109 isolates of milk samples were obtained from cows with clinical mastitis, subclinical and bulk tank milk samples. Until July 2016, the susceptibility of 44 isolates were evaluated following the recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The antimicrobial agents included in the st...
