Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolation and mecA Gene Detection from Milk and Farmer Hand Swab in Tulungagung, Indonesia

Abstract: Dairy farms have a high incidence of MRSA infections due to the repeated use of the same medicines on dairy cows and the physical contact between farmers and cows during milking. This study evaluated the incidence of MRSA in dairy cow milk and farmer hand swabs in Tulungagung, Indonesia. Using oxacillin and cefoxitin diffusion disks, phenotypic detection approaches were evaluated, then transferred to the Oxacillin Resistance Screening Agar Base (ORSAB) test and genotypically verified using PCR to find the mecA… Show more

“…The PCR method cannot be performed in all laboratories due to cost and resource limitations. To find MRSA, the limitations of PCR can be circumvented by using the disk diffusion method with cefoxitin and oxacillin, followed by investigation using ORSAB [192].…”
