A preliminary study of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and antimicrobial resistance profile of bacteria in selected pig farms in Peninsular Malaysia

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common and devastating human and animal pathogens. In this study, conventional technique of isolation and identification was used to isolate Staphylococus aureus, Staphylococcus hyicus, Streptococcus spp., and E. coli. Detection and confirmation of MRSA was d...
