Popis: (29%), tetracycline (28%), clindamycin (21%), erythromycin (18%), gentamicin (4%), and vancomycin (2%). All milk isolates were resistant to tetracycline, while the anterior nares samples were resistant to tetracycline and erythromycin. The dendrogram obtained by Box-PCR generated 19 groups, with two of these groups containing 62% of the isolates. The results showed that the S. aureus isolates of dairy products have a high genetic variability with elevated resistance to oxacillin, clindamycin and tetracycline. This study presents valuable epidemiological information that contributes to the development of strategies for controlling contamination of dairy products.
