S. aureus was confirmed in 34.9% of raw sheep milk samples, highlighting the potential health risk.
The mecA gene was found in 13.5% of S. aureus isolates, indicating methicillin resistance in strains collected.
A staggering 97.3% of isolates showed resistance to at least two antimicrobials, emphasizing multidrug resistance.
The findings call for improved hygiene and monitoring practices in traditional dairy systems to combat antimicrobial resistance.
