Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of bovine mastitis. To estimate genetic relationships among S. aureus strains recovered from cows, 357 isolates from milk samples from worldwide localities were examined for electrophoretic variation at 13 metabolic-enzyme loci. Thirty-nine electrophoretic types which represented distinctive multilocus enzyme genotypes were identified, and nearly 90% of all...
