Staphylococci are common inhabitants of skin and mucous membranes in humans and animals. Infections involving antibiotic resistant staphylococci are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, with notable economic consequences. Livestock farms may enable cross-species transfer of antibiotic resistant staphylococci. The aim of the study was to investigate antimicrobial resistance patterns of staphylococci isolated from livestock and farm attendants in Northern Ghana using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on staphylococci recovered from livestock and farm attendants and isolates resistant to cefoxitin were investigated using whole genome sequencing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>One hundred and fifty-two staphylococci comprising <jats:italic>S. sciuri<\/jats:italic> (80%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009121), <jats:italic>S. simulans<\/jats:italic> (5%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098), <jats:italic>S. epidermidis<\/jats:italic> (4%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20096), <jats:italic>S. chromogens<\/jats:italic> (3%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094), <jats:italic>S. aureus<\/jats:italic> (2%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093), <jats:italic>S. haemolyticus<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), <jats:italic>S. xylosus<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), <jats:italic>S. cohnii<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), <jats:italic>S. condimenti<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), <jats:italic>S. hominis<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091) and <jats:italic>S. arlettae<\/jats:italic> (1%; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091) were identified.
