The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, sometimes known as S. aureus, is responsible for numerous infectious disorders that affect both human and animal health. The purpose of this work is to phenotypically and genotypically identify S. aureus from previously obtained isolates that were originally from cattle. Phenotypic identification of Staphylococcus aureus was determined based on biochemical tests including Gram staining, triple sugar iron agar, catalase, and coagulase tests. Genotypic identification was determined based on detection of the presence of 23SrRNA and nuc genes using specific primers for Staphylococcus aureus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this activity, standard Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for genotypic detection is focused on targeting the nuc genes as virulence factor. There were seven isolates in total are positively detected for having the nuc genes which indicated has virulence factor of S. aureus strain.
