 ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when organisms become irresponsive to the commonly used antimicrobials for which previously they were susceptible. Many organisms are responsible to cause mastitis in dairy animals. Beta-lactam group of antimicrobials are most widely used in the treatment of mastitis and other animal diseases. Therefore present study was planned to investigate selected beta-lactam antimicrobials susceptibility pattern against S. aureus organisms isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis.  S. aureus grown on selective media and tested for susceptibility pattern on Muller-Hinton Agar. Total 168 S. aureus isolates were tested and showed different resistance patterns. Highest Resistance was observed to Ampicillin (57.14%) and Amoxicillin (56.54%). Greater sensitivity was observed to cephalosporins and other beta-lactams when used along with beta-lactamase inhibitors. It is suggested to observe the sensitivity pattern while treating animal diseases in order to minimize the resistance raised due to use of wrong and inadvertent use of these magic bullets. 

Key words: Resistance, Beta-lactams, S. aureus
