Coagulase negative staphylococci from ovine milk: genotypic and phenotypic characterization of susceptibility to antibiotics, disinfectants and biofilm production

This study highlights the role of CoNS as potential carriers of a wide range of environmental persistence factors. These include not only antibiotic resistance and biofilm production genes, but in some cases also biocide resistance genes, which could confer unspecific additional resistance mechanisms against a broad range of antimicrobials.
