Abstract:

Meat, milk and egg are a major component in the human diet and milk is an important food for vegetarian class, but it also serves as a very good medium for the growth of many microorganisms including pathogenic bacteria (Ruegg, 2003). In the present study, samples of milk, egg and meat were collected from different areas of Udaipur city.PCR assay was standardized for the detection of species specific genes16SrRNA gene, virulence gene (tsst gene) and antibiotic resistance gene (ermC, tetK, and aacA-aphD) of S. aureus. The prevalence of S. aureus was found to be 37.5%, 5%, and 15% in milk, egg and meat respectively. The prevalence of 16SrRNA, tsst, ermC, tetK, and aacA-aphD genes were recorded as 100%, 21.73%, 13%, 26% and 21.7% respectively.


Keywords: Milk, Meat, Egg, PCR, Virulence gene and antibiotic resistance gene
