1 IntroductionStaphylococcus aureus is a widely distributed zoonotic opportunistic pathogen, as well as one of the most common food-borne diseases (Khanal et al., 2022). S. aureus usually causes mild skin or wound infections, and in severe cases, systemic infections such as sepsis (Woolhouse et al., 2015). S. aureus infection not only poses a threat to human health, but also causes severe economic losses to the animal husbandry industry.
