| Staphylococcus aureus is known to cause septic arthritis in poultry with significant economic losses. Present study revealed the prevalence of septic arthritis caused by S. aureus in broilers and layers in Tandojam, Sindh, Pakistan. One hundred samples from broilers and layers were collected from three sample sites including, hock joint swelling/abscesses, wing/abdominal abscess/injuries and footpad injuries/abscesses. Among 25 samples collected from 1B broilers farm, 69.23% from hock joint swelling/abscesses; 57.15% from wing/abdominal abscess/injuries; and 60.00% from foot pad injuries/abscesses were found positive for S. aureus. While, from 25 samples of 2B broilers farm, 73.34% from hock joint swellings/abscesses/injuries; 66.67% from wing/abdominal abscess/injuries; and 75.00% from footpad injuries/abscesses were regarded as positive for S. aureus septic arthritis. Similarly from 25 samples of 1L layer farm, 81.25% from hock joint swellings/abscesses/injuries; and 71.43% from wing/abdominal abscesses/injuries were detected as positive for S. aureus. Moreover from 2L layers farm, 57.89% from hock joint swellings/abscesses/injuries; and 75.00% from wing/abdominal abscesses/injuries were found positive for S. aureus. While, no layer sample of foot pad injuries/abscesses was detected as positive. The study concluded that S. aureus is responsible for septic arthritis in majority of both commercial broilers and layers, with higher prevalence in hock joints. Furthermore, layers (64.00%) showed a slightly reduced prevalence of S. aureus as compared to broilers (68.00%), with no incidence of causative organism in footpad swellings/injuries.
