Genetic diversity, virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance profiles of S. aureus isolated from raw meat, meat products and veterinary samples of food-producing animals in South African provinces.

Abstract excerpt

S. aureus is an important pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections in humans and animals. Its pathogenicity arises from diverse virulence factors (VFs), while its ability to acquire resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents further complicates treatment and contributes to its public health significance. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of VFs, staphylococcal cassette chromosome...
