This study aimed to investigate the presence of  mecA  and  pvl  genes in coagulase negative  Staphylococcus  (CNS) species isolated from bovine mastitis in smallholder dairy farms by using PCR. A total of 602 mammary quarter milk samples belong to 170 cows with mastitis were used. Identification of species was achieved by using the commercial Gram-positive identification kit and a total of 52 (8.6%) CNS species were isolated. The most frequently isolated species was  Staphylococcus capitis  (n = 15, 28.8%), followed by  Staphylococcus saccharolyticus  (n = 12, 23.1%),  Staphylococcus simulans  (n = 8, 15.4%),  Staphylococcus haemolyticus  (n = 5, 9.6%),  Staphylococcus cohnii  (n = 4, 7.7%),  Staphylococcus lentus  (n = 4, 7.7%),  Staphylococcus epidermidis  (n = 2, 3.8%) and  Staphylococcus saprophyticus  (n = 2, 3.8%). The  mecA  gene positivity was found in the 13 (25%) of strains. Of the strains carrying  mecA  gene, eight also harbored the  pvl  gene. A total of  pvl  gene positivity was found as 30.8% (n = 16) in 52 CNS species. In conclusion, the present study showed that CNS isolated from cows with mastitis may be reservoir of  mecA  and  pvl  genes. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing the presence of  mecA  and  pvl  genes in CNS species isolated from bovine with mastitis in the smallholder dairy farms in Turkey.
