ABSTRACT

A total of thirty milk samples from bovine clinical mastitis are subjected to cultural isolation followed by antibiogram of the isolates. All the isolates obtained were resistant to methicillin and penicillin and most of them showed resistance to other beta lactam group of antibiotics. Out of the thirteen Staphylococcus spp. isolated, ten were coagulase negative and all showed positive amplicons for the presence of blaZ gene in polymerase chain reaction. Ten isolates showed positive results for the presence of mecA gene.
