A total of 84 S.aureus strains were isolated from subclinically mastitic bovine milk samples using traditional methods. Twenty eight S.aureus isolates were subjected to PCR for detection of coagulase gene, X region of protein A (spA) gene and panton valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene. All the isolates (100%) were positive for coagulase gene that showed no gene polymorphism, while 26 (92,8%) isolates were positive for spA gene that showed gene polymorphism with different sized amplicons..Only 3 (10.7%) isolates were positive for PVL gene. Multiplex PCR used for detection of enterotoxins genes (SEA, SEB, SEC and SED) in the same 28 isolates where 8 isolates (28.5%) were positive to SEA gene, one (3.5%) was positive for SEC gene, one (3.5%) was positive for both SEA and SEC genes and all isolates (100%) were negative for SEB gene. Hence 35.7% of these isolates possess enterotoxins genes.
