Abstract

In this work, S. aureus isolates from meat and meat products were examined for frequency, profiles of antibiotic susceptibility, and virulence genes (seb, sea, sec, sed, see, and fme A). Staphylococcal food poisoning is one of the most economically important foodborne diseases in the world. S.  aureus is a prominent food-borne pathogen and common food contamination across the world. Some S. aureus strains generate staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), which can cause staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP). Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most frequently studied foodborne bacteria due to its high pathogenicity, production of heat-stable enterotoxins, and its continued development of resistance to multiple antibiotics. Despite enterotoxigenic staphylococci being thermally killed, cooked beef products may still contain staphylococcal enterotoxins SEs since these toxins are thermo persistent and cannot be removed by heat processing. Therefore, this investigation into the frequency of MRSA genes in certain fresh meat and canned meat was done to learn more about the disease. A total of 80 random samples, Twenty meat samples from butchers, and sixty samples each of Luncheon, Tune, Chicken pieces, Minced meat, Grilled meat, Hamburger Fresh meat and Sausage from some supermarkets in Hilla city in Iraq.
