Genotypic detection of some virulence factors and genetic tree of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from buffalo with subclinical mastitis in Nineveh governorate.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is identified as the foremost cause of inflammation of the milk-secreting glands of buffalo and all ruminant animals. This bacterium carries various genes that encode virulence factors. Aims: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of S. aureus in milk specimens from buffalo farms, identify specific genes associated with virulence, and compare the genetic...
