dc.description.abstractThe present study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of Methicillin resistant and multiple Drug resistant and(MDR) S. aureus in retail fishery outlets of Cochin and Mumbai coast of India. In total 252 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were obtained from 105 fish samples and further confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using 16SrDNA region specific primer for S. aureus. In antibiogram analysis against 20 antimicrobial agents, highest resistant was found to erythromycine (31.14%), followed by azithromycin (25.79%) nd clarithromycin (30.24%). One S. aureus isolate was resistant to methicillin which was further confirmed by PCR using mecA gene primers specific for MRSA. The higher incidence of MDR S. aureus and the presence of MRSA in fish indicate high high risk to public healthen_US
