Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus subsp . anaerobius is the causative agent of Morel's disease in goats and sheep. We report the first outbreak of Morel's disease in a Swiss goat flock. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that the Swiss isolates belong to sequence type (ST)1464, which is the ST responsible for outbreaks worldwide.
