In this study, it was aimed to analyze goat milk samples in terms of somatic cell number, isolation of aerobic bacteria, to determine the in vitro susceptibility of isolated S. aureus strains to various antibiotics and to reveal methicillin resistant S. aureus strains. The mean number of somatic cells of 313 milk samples examined was 3.25x10 3 , 1.9x10 6 for 214 (68.3%) milk samples with subclinical mastitis, and 1x10 6 cells/mL for 32 (27.6%) milk samples with S. aureus isolated. Bacteria were isolated from 116 (54.2%) milk samples by culture method. Coagulase negative staphylococci from 46 (39.6%) and S. aureus from 32 (27.6%) isolated. Of the 32 S. aureus strains tested, 27 (84.3%) were resistant to penicillin G, 17 (53.1%) to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefaprezone, 15 (46.9%) to marbofloxacin, 13 (34.3%) to enrofloxacin, 9 (28.1%) to ceftiofur and 8 (25.0%) to gentamicin. Eight of the S. aureus strains (25.0%) had methicillin-resistant S. aureus and 5 (62.5%) had multiantibiotic resistance. As a result, it was determined that i) the mean somatic cell count was low, ii) S. aureus strains were highly resistant to penicillin G, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefaperozone, iii) methicillin-resistant S. aureus was found to be 25% of the rate.
