Abstract: This study detected the presence and distribution of mecA in Staphylococcus spp. in the dairy production environment at farm level in Brazil. We analyzed 335 samples of mastitis cow milk, 15 samples of nostrils and hand swabs from milkers, 14 teat cup swabs, and 9 milking buckets swabs. Initially, the samples were subjected to microbiological analysis to detect Staphylococcus spp. and then S. aureus and mecA positive isolates were identified by PCR. All S. aureus isolates carrying the mecA genes were subjected… Show more

“…Bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus spp., can colonize the udder of cattle leading to the occurrence of mastitis [ 1 , 2 ]. These bacteria are transmitted to the dairy animals from the environment, during the milking process when the milker's hands or milking equipment lack adequate hygiene or along the milk product production chain by contaminated water or utensils used by vendors [ 3 ]. Humans can subsequently consume these bacteria leading to disease.…”
