Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the genes associated with antibiotic resistance in S. aureus that was isolated from milk, meat, and eggs purchased from retail establishments in Udaipur, Rajasthan. To achieve this, between July 2018 and October 2018, 120 samples-40 each for milk, meat, and eggs were chosen at random from supermarkets, stores, and a few dairy farms in the city of Udaipur. Using morphological (Gram staining), biochemical testing, S. aureus was extracted and positively identified. The ermC, tetK, and aacA-aphD genes of S. aureus were detected using a standardised PCR technique. ermC, tetK, and aacA-aphD gene prevalence were calculated to be respectively 13%, 26%, and 21.7%.
