Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated Staphylococcus aureus in milk, finding a 34.4% prevalence, with 27% identified as methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and 24.71% showing multiple antimicrobial resistance (MAR) patterns.
- - The isolates tested positive for enterotoxin genes sea and sed, and exhibited significant biofilm formation, indicating a potential health risk associated with contaminated milk.
- - The research highlights the diverse genetic profiles of S. aureus and calls for ongoing monitoring and strategies to enhance food safety in Chennai, given its implications for public health.
We isolated and characterized two lytic bacteriophages against named TANUVAS_MVC-VPHSA1 and TANUVAS_MVC-VPHSA2, with the aim of investigating their genomic and structural features. The bacteriophages belong to the Caudoviricetes, and their genomes have sizes of 50,505 and 50,516 base pairs with a GC content of 41.4%.

- Milk is a nutrient-rich food that can contain harmful microorganisms, particularly a dangerous foodborne pathogen linked to infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals.
- A study in Chennai, India, analyzed 259 raw milk samples from dairy farms, local vendors, and retail outlets, finding 34% positive for the pathogen, with significant genetic diversity among the isolates.
- The research noted that all isolates were resistant to ampicillin and identified 28 multidrug-resistant isolates, highlighting worries about food safety and the economic impact of AMR in milk sources.
