Summary
Significance and Impact of the Study: This study confirms the presence of ST398 MRSA in milk from bovine mastitis in Belgium.Moreover, the isolated MRSA strains were described for genotypic and phenotypic characteristics potentially implicated in virulence.This study highlights that Belgian bovine could be a reservoir of MRSA for human.
