Enterotoxigenic methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus contamination in salted fish from Gwadar Balochistan

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is an important foodborne pathogen associated to food intoxication and other multiple infections in human being. Its presence salted a serious issue due its salt tolerance potential. A study was conducted analyze the of enterotoxins producing drug resistance S. sea fish from Gwadar. Freshly persevered samples (n=50) were subjected using 16S rRNA Nuc genes primers. The isolates then evaluated for potential specific primers MecA (methicillin gene), (SEA) staphylococcal enterotoxin (SEB) B genes. Total 13/50 (26%) found positive aureus, preliminary confirmed with biochemical profiling finally help target presence. showing 100% resistant methicillin, which molecularly by gene present genome. 5/13 (38%) SEA 3/13 (23%) SEB genes, whereas 2/13 (15%) having both It also that all capable form biofilm over glass surfaces. concluded enterotoxigenic methicillin aurous (MRSA) product, poses gross safety concern. Preventive control measures are necessary handle this
