RESUMO
Monoclonal antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharide types 5 and 8 were used to serotype by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 212, 54, and 33 isolates from cow, goat, and ewe milk, respectively. Capsular types 5 and 8 accounted for 69.4% of bovine isolates and 71.5 and 78.8% of goat and ewe isolates, respectively. Type 5 was predominant in strains from bovine sources (51.4%), whereas type 8 was prevalent in strains from caprine (68.5%) and ovine (75.8%) sources.
