Assessment of the Antibiotic Resistance Profile, Genetic Heterogeneity and Biofilm Production of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) Isolated from The Italian Swine Production Chain

Assessment of the Antibiotic Resistance Profile, Genetic Heterogeneity and Biofilm Production of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) Isolated from The Italian Swine Production Chain

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of antibiotic resistance, prevalence and virulence features of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) isolated from heavy swine at abattoir level and farming environments in Lombardy (Northern Italy). With thi...
