AC., Antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus
aureus swabbed from flystrike (Chrysomya bezziana) myasis in sheep and goats, Onl J
Vet Res., 26 (10): 762-769, 2022. We report antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus
aureus swabbed from skin sites
infested by screw worm Chrysomya bezziana in 52 sheep and 35 goats. We found
prevalence in sheep of ~60 and goats ~40% wherein of 52 sheep, ~79% in ewes and
21.1% in wethers and of 35 goats, ~83% on females and
~20% males were infested. Antibiotic
susceptibility (%) for Staphylococcus
aureus spp by disc diffusion for vancomycin was 98.1, florphenicol 84.6, doxyclycline
60.2, cefotixin 72.3, amoxicillin 44.8, clavulanic
acid 36.5, oxytetracycline 30.4, chloralphenicol
22.6, clindamycin 13.2, penicillin 41.2,
ciprofloxalin 47.5, enroflaxine
39.0, tetracycline 44.8 and lincomycin, gentamycin and
gentamycin 53.2%. Results suggest that there was no difference in antibiotic
susceptibility to staphylococcus aureus taken from screw worm sites in goats or
sheep. However, the bacteria were susceptible to vancomycin and florphenicol.
