Abstract
Mastitis is a disease primarily leading to inflammatory conditions of udder is
manifested as acute, sub acute or chronic form, which results in heavy economic losses for the
dairy industry. Among various pathogens involve in the disease S. aureus has been reported to
be a prominent causal agent. The objectives of the present study were cultural & biochemical
characterization, detection of antibiogram pattern & molecular identification of S. aureus
isolates. Cultural based detection of virulence associated character and molecular detection of
virulence associated gene of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and subclinical cases of
bovine mastitis in and around Anand city of Gujarat were also studied.
In the present investigation, a total of 40 isolates of S. aureus were included from the
