Multidrug resistance including borderline-oxacillin resistance and spa typing of Staphylococcus aureus from milk and milk products of Tigray region, Northern Ethiopia
This study demonstrated the widespread occurrence of MDR S. aureus and BORSA with diverse spa types in dairy foods. The detection of resistant S. aureus with heterogeneous genetic backgrounds in dairy products highlights a significant public health risk, as resistance genes may spread through the food chain. Strengthened monitoring and control measures are urgently needed to limit the dissemination of AMR.
