This study aimed to assess the impact of S. aureus as well as Non-aureus Staphylococci and Mammaliicocci (NASM) subclinical mastitis-causing in the economic return in dairy herds. Data were gathered from the databases of five dairy herds located in the Agreste region of Pernambuco state, Northeastern Brazil, over a period of three consecutive months.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) bacterial subtyping for the rapid detection of biomarkers in Staphylococcus aureus from subclinical bovine mastitis.

Methods And Results: A total of 229 S. aureus isolates were obtained from milk samples collected from cows with subclinical mastitis using microbiological culture.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to genetically and phenotypically analyze multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MDRSA) responsible for subclinical mastitis in dairy cows, looking into associated risk factors.
  • Bacterial samples from various sources were cultured, and identification techniques, including MALDI-TOF MS and antimicrobial resistance testing, were employed, revealing significant beta-lactam resistance and unique strain characteristics.
  • Findings highlighted the necessity of addressing specific risk factors, such as parity and herd size, to effectively combat subclinical mastitis and control the spread of MDRSA in dairy herds.

The study described in this Research Communication investigated the genotypic and phenotypic profiles of resistance to beta-lactams and other antimicrobials in non-aureus Staphylococci (NAS) isolated from buffalo, goat and sheep mastitis in the Northeast region of Brazil. A total of 190 isolates were analyzed and 42.3, 43.
