A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted from November 2021 to June 2022 in Wolaita Sodo Town, to detect Methicillin\u2010resistant <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> (MRSA) in raw cow's milk and assess their resistance levels to different antimicrobials. Purposive sampling was used to select 34 dairy farms. Accordingly, 419 raw milk samples from the farm and collection centers were collected. Isolates of <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> showing resistance to Cefoxitin were classified as MRSA. From the total 419 samples, 22.19% (93\/419) were contaminated with <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> in dairy cows. The prevalence of <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> in raw milk, bulk milk from the farm, and bulk tank milk from the collection centers was 16.9%, 2.1%, and 3.1%, respectively. The risk of <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> contamination in dairy farm owners and milkers who do not take food safety training was 5.303 times higher than the risk of <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> contamination in dairy farm owners and milkers who take food safety training. The risk of <jats:italic>S.\u2009aureus<\/jats:italic> contamination in dairy farms kept under poor management system was 7.34 times more than that of dairy farms kept under good management. The cefoxitin disk diffusion method was used to detect MRSA, 57.14% being resistant to Cefoxitin in total while approximately 87.5% were sensitive to Sulfamethoxazole\u2010trimethoprim and Gentamycin, while Erythromycin registered 75%, Ciprofloxacin 62.5%, Chloramphenicol 62.5%, and Tetracycline 25%. This study revealed that MRSA exhibited a notable multidrug resistance pattern, encompassing resistance to multiple drugs, with a prevalence of 75%. Significantly, the hands of milkers and the milking containers emerged as pivotal sources of contamination. This underscores the crucial importance of maintaining stringent hygienic practices during the milking process, with particular emphasis on thorough cleaning and decontamination of utensils.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.4121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,25]],"date-time":"2024-03-25T09:15:01Z","timestamp":1711358101000},"page":"4735-4744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Isolation and antimicrobial resistance patterns of <scp>Methicillin\u2010resistant<\/scp><i>Staphylococcus aureus<\/i> from raw cow's milk in dairy farms of Wolaita Sodo Town, Southwest, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3801-2619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hailehizeb","family":"Tegegne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agriculture and Environmental Science Debre Tabor University  Debre Tabor Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eyoel","family":"Ejigu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Jimma University  Jimma Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dese","family":"Woldegiorgis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Jimma University  Jimma Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azeb","family":"Mengistu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agriculture and Environmental Science Debre Tabor University  Debre Tabor Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Bacteriological quality and safety of raw cow's milk in and around Jigjiga City of Somali Region, Eastern Ethiopia","volume":"3","author":"Abate M.","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Research Studies in Biosciences"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"019","article-title":"Isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from bovine mastitic milk and their drug resistance patterns in Adama town, Ethiopia","volume":"1","author":"Abera M.","year":"2013","journal-title":"African Journal of Dairy Farming and Milk Production"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"3513","article-title":"Major causes of mastitis and associated risk factors in smallholder dairy cows in Shashemene, Southern Ethiopia","volume":"7","author":"Abera M.","year":"2012","journal-title":"African Journal of Agricultural Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2157-7579.1000383"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms8020147"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-017-2524-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12866-017-1048-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","unstructured":"CLSI.
