Prevalence and characterization of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus in bovine milk in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh, India

The study aimed to investigate the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive in bovine milk due to its public health significance. A total of 400 milk samples of bovines taken from different dairy farms and outlets of Jabalpur were screened for the and methicillin-resistant (MRSA). The strains were...

Description
Summary:The study aimed to investigate the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive in bovine milk due to its public health significance. A total of 400 milk samples of bovines taken from different dairy farms and outlets of Jabalpur were screened for the and methicillin-resistant (MRSA). The strains were tested for the PVL gene and antimicrobial sensitivity toward 10 different classes of antimicrobial agents. The PVL-positive strains were further characterized by staphylococcal protein A or typing. The prevalence of PVL-positive was 10.53%. All the isolates positive for the PVL were resistant to methicillin, while the methicillin-sensitive isolates were negative for the PVL. Five different types were found. The presence of PVL-positive MRSA in bovine milk close to consumer poses a potential public health risk to the community.
