Staphylococcus aureus is considered a serious threat to public health, besides is one of the most common causes of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. Therefore, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is among the most critical reasons for antibiotic treatment. Monitoring the antibiotic resistance of MRSA from livestock animals and foods is of great significance. This study aimed to detect vancomycin, teicoplanin, and linezolid resistance of bulk tank milk-borne 34 MRSA isolates by the E-test method to determine MIC values. In the study, it was determined that 8.8% of MRSA isolates were also resistant to vancomycin, and 11.7% to linezolid, while none of the isolates were determined to be resistant to teicoplanin. Data from the study reveal the status of the efficacy of the commonly used antibiotics vancomycin and linezolid against MRSA infections. Especially before MRSA treatment, MIC values of antibiotics should be determined, and appropriate antibiotics should be used in effective doses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
