Abstract

Highlights: Public health implications of virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus from cattle are studied. There is synergistic action between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance. Sequential expression of colonization and effector factors is important for the pathogenesis of mastitis. The relationship between β-lactams and the expression of virulence factors is studied. 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.
