Staphylococcus aureus is known as a major causative agent of mastitis in dairy cattle. In the presentstudy, 104 isolates of Staphlylococcus originated from subclinical mastitis cattle characterized for thephenotypic properties and the presence of Staphylococcal protein A (Spa). Some bacteria were resistancesagainst several antibiotics were also studied, such as, streptomycin, cefepime, nitrofurantoin, amikacin,chloramphenicol, and ciprofloxacin. About 78% of the isolated were moderately sensitive to nitrofurantoin,while 89% were highly resistant to cefepime and ciprofloxacin. Using the various mammals’ sera, sevenisolates revealed the presence of Spa.
