The present study was conducted to isolate Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli from mastitic milk samples and identify AMR pattern. A total of 250 cattle were screened, where 12 (4.80%) and 89 (35.60%) were affected with clinical and sub-clinical mastitis, respectively. The predominant causative pathogen was S. aureus followed by E. coli. The prevalence of S. aureus was 41.66% and 48.31% while, E. coli was 33.33% and 15.73% in clinical and sub-clinical mastitis affected cattle, respectively. More than, 70% of S. aureus showed resistance against ampicillin, oxacillin and tetracycline and more than 60% of E. coli exhibited resistance against ampicillin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim.
