Abstract
⺠We characterized 180 staphylococcal strains isolated from 200 samples of Japanese raw fish. ⺠92% of grocery stores surveyed contained fish contaminated with Staphylococcus species. ⺠Several antibiotic resistance and virulence genes were detected. ⺠Methicillin-resistant staphylococci were obtained from 10 samples (5%, 10/200). ⺠Raw fish is a likely vehicle for transmission of multidrug resistant and virulent staphylococci.
