Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 45 (41.67%) out of 108 cattle suffering from dermatitis. It was involved either singly or in associa tion with other staphylococci, Micrococcus sp., microfilaria and mange -mite. Pathogenicity trial with representative strains and the toxins of the same strains revealed pathogenic and dermonecrotoxic effects on rabbit skin. In-vitro drug sensitivity pattern depicted most sensitiv ity of the organism to cloxacillin, gentamicin and chloramphenicol (10 0% each) and least to streptomycin (64.4%).
