Whole genome sequencing identifies exotoxin and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Staphylococcus aureus from Maine dairy farms
Whole genome sequencing identified ruminant-associated sequence types and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles consistent with other regional reports. Exotoxins with relevance to mastitis and SFP development were also identified. This study provides insight into future opportunities to study S. aureus prevalence and to survey dairy production in animal and public health contexts in Maine.
