Relationship between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus from bovine mastitis

J Glob Antimicrob Resist. 2020 Sep:22:792-802. doi: 10.1016/j.jgar.2020.06.010. Epub 2020 Jun 27.

Abstract

Objectives: This review summarizes the literature on the role of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes of Staphylococcus aureus in bovine mastitis, focusing on the association between these characteristics and their implications for public and animal health.

Conclusions: There is the possibility of antimicrobial resistance gene exchange among different bacteria, which is of serious concern in livestock husbandry, as well as in the treatment of human staphylococcal infections.

Keywords: Antimicrobial resistance mechanism; Cattle; Intramammary infection; One health; Staphylococcus aureus; Virulence factors.
