The prevalence of methicillin\u2010resistant\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n (MRSA) ranges from 10%\u201350% in China and Russia, neighboring countries of Mongolia. This study aimed to assess\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n contamination in raw beef samples and surface swabs from meat\u2010processing areas and markets, while detecting, as well as to detect virulence and resistance genes in the isolates. A total of 156 raw beef samples and 131 surface swabs were collected and analyzed using ISO 6888\u20101:2021 standards. The\n nucA<\/jats:italic>\n gene specific to\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n was amplified by PCR, and antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated using the Kirby\u2013Bauer disk diffusion method. Resistance genes (\n mecA<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n mecC<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n vanA<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n vanB<\/jats:italic>\n ) and virulence genes (\n sea<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n sed<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n tsst<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n eta<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n etb<\/jats:italic>\n ) were detected via PCR. The results showed contamination rates of 26.9% in raw beef and 15.3% in surface swabs. The isolates exhibited high resistance to oxacillin, ampicillin, and penicillin in meat samples and to oxacillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, and clindamycin in surface swabs. No resistance genes for vancomycin or methicillin (\n mecC<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n vanA<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n vanB<\/jats:italic>\n ) were detected. Virulence genes, including\n tsst<\/jats:italic>\n (14.5%),\n sea<\/jats:italic>\n and\n etb<\/jats:italic>\n (9.7%),\n eta<\/jats:italic>\n (3.2%), and\n sed<\/jats:italic>\n (1.6%), were identified. Contamination was more prevalent in centers responsible for both transportation and sales, compared to meat\u2010processing areas. These findings highlight the need for stricter hygiene and handling practices in meat transport and markets to reduce\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n contamination and limit the spread of resistant strains.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/ijm\/3806846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]],"date-time":"2025-01-29T23:18:57Z","timestamp":1738192737000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Identification of\n Staphylococcus aureus<\/i>\n Causing Contamination in Raw Beef and Meat\u2010Processing Environments in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8872-1773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amgalanzaya","family":"Dorjgochoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9739-7346","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anujin","family":"Batbayar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4570-5998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Altansukh","family":"Tsend-Ayush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8164-681X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bayarlakh","family":"Byambadorj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3032-4490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarantuya","family":"Jav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0985-3491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Munkhdelger","family":"Yandag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/20477724.2020.1824112"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surge.2012.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fshw.2019.12.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1701.P11101"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fm.2006.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/133.11.3898S"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_2","first-page":"295","article-title":"Isolation and Characterization of Microorganisms from Raw Meat Obtained from Different Market Places in and Around Chennai","volume":"3","author":"Thanigaivel G.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Journal of Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Biological Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_2","first-page":"49","article-title":"Bacteria Contamination of Raw Meat Sold in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Nigeria","volume":"3","author":"Iroha I.","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Public Health and Epidemiology"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/fpd.2014.1882"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodcont.2018.08.030"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13756-017-0257-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-11423-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/fpd.2017.2339"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2157-7579.1000539"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10068-014-0135-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4315\/0362-028X.JFP-11-479"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14202\/vetworld.2018.1459-1465"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_18_2","unstructured":"EffahC.
