Discussion

Investigation reveals high antibiotic resistance and prevalence of virulence factors in MRSA isolates, highlighting health risks.

MRSA was found in 46% of food samples, raising significant health concerns.
78 MRSA isolates (46.71%) exhibited resistance, particularly to cefotaxime and tetracycline.
Disk diffusion and PCR methods were employed to assess antibiotic susceptibility and virulence genes.
The study underscores the growing issue of multidrug resistance among MRSA isolates from food.

Dehkordi et al. (2025) studied this question.
