Determining the enterotoxin genes and methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus Aureus isolated from goat milk and its products

Milk and its products can be frequently contaminated with enterotoxigenic methicillin-resistant S. aureus, in such a case, it causes various diseases, especially staphylococcal food poisoning. In the present study, 100 sample materials (50 goat milk, 25 cream, cheese) were collected from 65 livestock farms Erzurum. All samples analyzed tested selectively according to EN ISO 6888-1 procedure standard. The obtained isolates examined PCR terms of nuc, Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL), mecA, enterotoxin genes. aureus was detected 4 50 (8%) milk samples, 2 cream 3 (12%) cheese 9 total (9%). While incidence methicillin resistance found 3% by disc diffusion method, mecA gene 2% PCR. genes, 8% (4/50) 12% (3/25) (2/25) contained at least one gene. total, 9% aureus. conclusion, consumption positive aureus-containing raw dairy that have not been adequately heat-treated, or are kept proper storage conditions pose danger public health
