Abstract
Characterization of Toxin Gene Profiles and Antibiotic Resistance Genes of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Ducks
Highlights
S. aureus is one of the most common bacterial diseases in poultry which causes drop in egg production, body weight loss, and lameness which is leading to carcass condemnation
Samples The Samples were taken from 100 duck farms, where 3 freshly dead ducks were transferred in ice boxes to reference laboratory for veterinary quality control on poultry production within 24 h for examination and testing
The prevalence of S. aureus for this study is still lower than reported results for ducks in South African livestock (40%) (Dweba et al, 2019). ).The incidence of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in duck farms represents a great concern to protect consumers
Summary
S. aureus is one of the most common bacterial diseases in poultry which causes drop in egg production, body weight loss, and lameness which is leading to carcass condemnation. S. aureus has negative impact on the economy based on farming business alongside the foodborne illness causes (Andreasen, 2013). S. aureus influences on the human health and causes food poisoning. August 2021 | Volume 9 | Issue 8 | Page 1150 regarding to their enterotoxins productions (Han et al, 2013). Diagnosing, detecting and genotyping of S. aureus are routinely processed among sick poultry (Andreasen , 2013) , alongside pigs, cows and goats, (Wang et al.,2017), the detection of S. aureus in ducks is too rare. In Egypt, the ducks are taking the second place of the poultry meat production (Radwan et al, 2019).
