Abstract
This study was designed to detect some antibiotic resistance genes of S.aureus by using PCR. A total of 150 Cat fish (Clarias garipeneaus) with a body weight ranged from200 – 250g. suffered from ulcerated skin and erosion. S. aureus were isolated in percent of 100% from infected fish by using Baird parker as selective media. By using multiplex PCR for investigation some antibiotic resistant genes, as erm A gen, aac (6)-aph (2) genes , van A gen and mec A gene. All isolated S. aureus were sensitive to Amikacin, Amoxicillin, Ampicillin and Ciprofloxacin while resistant to Gentamicin, Methicillin and Neomycin.
