Detection of icaA and icaD genes of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in cases of bovine mastitis in the Republic of Serbia

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most common agent of contagious mastitis that causes serious health and economic problems. The ability to form biofilms is an important virulence factor of S. aureus for the establishment of persistent infections. This study is aimed to investigate the presen...
