Abstract

 The present work was undertaken to study the Isolation, molecular characterization, and antimicrobial susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA) in raw milk .  Staph.aureus is a gram-positive pathogenic bacterium that can infect humans and animals. It has a high ability to develop resistance to many different antibiotics. In this study, only one isolate  from Milk in Baghdad during the period from October 13, 2020, to January 26, 2021 . From all of these specimens, only One isolates showed cultural and biochemical characteristics that are similar to Staph. aureus . The identity of this isolate was further confirmed using specific primers for the Staph. aureus 16S rRNA gene. In addition, the susceptibility of this isolate to eleven  antibiotics was studied . The results revealed that  Staph. aureus  isolate demonstrated high resistance to cefoxitin, penicillin, and ceftazidime . On the other hand, the isolate showed susceptibility to the rest of the eight antibiotics . We also found that there were no antibiotics tested in this study that was able to kill  Staph. aureus  isolate, and  isolate  tested in this study was classified as MRSA . These findings suggested that milk  represent a potential infection risk threat of multidrug-resistant and toxigenic Staph. aureus  in Baghdad due to neglected hygienic practices during production, retail, or storage stages. These findings highlighted the crucial importance of applying more restrictive hygienic measures in dairy production in Baghdad for food safety.
