| 1 | Antimicrobial drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus in dairy products显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the prevalence of multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus) in dairy products.Methods:Isolation and identification of S.aureus were performed in 3 dairybased food products.The isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 5 different common antimicrobial drugs.Results:Of 50 samples examined,5(10%) were contaminated with 5. aureus.Subsequently,the 5 isolates were subjected to antimicrobial resistance pattern using five antibiotic discs(methicillin,vancomycin,kanamycin,chloramphenicol and tetracycline).Sample 29 showed resistance to methicillin and vancomycin.Sample 18 showed intermediate response to tetracycline.The other samples were susceptible to all the antibiotics tested.Conclusions:The results provide preliminary data on sources of food contamination which may act as vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant Staphylococcus.Therefore,it enables us to develop preventive strategies to avoid the emergence of new strains of resistant S.aureus. | Sasidharan S Prema B Yoga Latha L | 2011 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2011，1，2： | 10 |
