Isolation, identifications and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of coagulase positive <i>Staphylococcus</i> from subclinical mastitic dairy cattle in and around Haramaya University

Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 to isolate coagulase positive Staphylococcus (CPS) from subclinical mastitic (SCM) lactating cows, to establishing prevalence, to identify risk factors and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of CPS isolates in and around Haramaya University, Eastern Ethiopia. A semi-structured questionnaire survey, California mastitis test (CMT) , bacterial isolation and identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests were … Show more

“…The present study has demonstrated the presence of high level of multidrug resistance of isolated S. aureus, 98.39% (61/62), especially among commonly used drugs like penicillin and tetracycline. The current study is consistent with Tafa et al [ 85 ], Taddesse et al [ 86 ] and Abera et al [ 57 ] who reported 87.6%, 90% and 94.4% of S. aureus resistance to multiple drugs, respectively. But the results of this study were higher than the findings reported in Brazil [ 87 ] and Ethiopia [ 88 ] where 64.4% and 45.1% of S. aureus isolates, respectively, resisted three or more antibiotics.…”

“…Generally, in this study, possible knowledge gaps were identified in dairy farmers regarding the occurrence of mastitis and its possible risk factors. From the respondents, about 21.2% wash their hands between consecutive milking of cows and around 75.8% did not use a towel to clean the udder, which agrees with several findings [ 14 , 18 , 19 ]. When milk is consumed unpasteurized, as it often occurs in developing countries where regulation and oversight of the dairy industry are lacking, dairy can serve as a vector for zoonotic transmission of disease and can contain adulterants such as antibiotic residues [ 5 ].…”

“…The finding of 9.9% prevalence of clinical mastitis and 31.8% prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the present study is in accordance with the view of scholar's that subclinical mastitis is 3 to 4 times more frequent than clinical mastitis (Radostits et al, 2007). The study closely agrees with the reports of Demelash Biffa et al (2005), Birhanu Mekibib et al (2010), Mesele Abera et al (2013) and Rigbe Haftu et al (2012), however it was lower than the report of Firaol Tafa et al (2015) and Ararsa Duguma et al (2014). The higher prevalence of subclinical mastitis might be the strong cows' udder defense mechanism (Jha et al, 2010), whereas the lower prevalence of clinical mastitis is attributed to treatment after appearance of the clinical signs.…”
