Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in bovine milk poses a significant zoonotic and antimicrobial resistance threat. This study identifies three MRSA strains from subclinical mastitic (SCM) cow milk, carrying resistance genes to β-lactams, lincosamides, macrolides, streptogramin B, and aminoglycosides, underscoring the urgent need for improved hygiene and surveillance in dairy production.
