“…The use of antibiotics to treat mastitis during lactation is common, as between 2% and 55% of cows encounter a mastitis infection during this period (Kelton et al, 1998). Notably, bacterial strains associated with bovine mastitis, including many S. aureus isolates, have demonstrated resistance to antibiotics such as penicillins, oxytetracycline, streptomycin and/or gentamicin (Thaker et al, 2013). These problems can be limited through the withholding of milk from sale in situations where a cow has mastitis and is being treated with antibiotics or during a compulsory withdrawal period after antibiotic treatment.…”

Here, we review what is known about the microorganisms present in raw milk, including milk from cows, sheep, goats and humans. Milk, due to its high nutritional content, can support a rich microbiota. These microorganisms enter milk from a variety of sources and, once in milk, can play a number of roles, such as facilitating dairy fermentations (e.g. Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Propionibacterium and fungal populations), causing spoilage (e.g. Pseudomonas, Clostridium, Bacillus and other spore-forming or thermoduric microorganisms), promoting health (e.g. lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) or causing disease (e.g. Listeria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and mycotoxin-producing fungi). There is also concern that the presence of antibiotic residues in milk leads to the development of resistance, particularly among pathogenic bacteria. Here, we comprehensively review these topics, while comparing the approaches, both culture-dependent and culture-independent, which can be taken to investigate the microbial composition of milk.

“…Studies show that susceptibility patterns of Staphylococcus aureus to antimicrobial agent have varied worldwide, but isolates were usually susceptible to kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, and gentamicin (Alian et al, 2012;Daka et al, 2012;Thaker et al, 2013;Mekuria et al, 2013). S. aureus isolates in the present study also showed high sensitivity towards vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, cephalotin, gentamycin, chloramphenicol and kanamycin.…”

“…Human illness through S. aureus range from minor skin infection such as pimples, boils, cellulites, toxic shock syndrome, impetigo, and abscesses to life threatening disease such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, and septicaemia (Daka et al, 2012;Thaker et al, 2013;Mekuria et al, 2013). S. aureus is also a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis in animals (Adwan et al, 2005;Mekuria et al, 2013).…”

“…Contamination of milk and milk products with pathogenic bacteria is mainly due to processing, handling and unhygienic environment. The occurrence of these pathogenic bacteria in milk and milk products can cause severe health hazards to people as they are highly susceptible to variety of microorganism because of high nutritive value and toxic nature caused by, or thought to be caused by the complex chemical composition (Thaker et al, 2013).…”

The study was carried out with the aim to isolate Staphylococcus aureus from camel and goat raw milk and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. 204 raw milk samples were collected from randomly selected lactating camels (n=62) and lactating goats (n=142) in live-stock producing pastoralists' areas of Somali region for isolation and identification of S. aureus. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed on all S. aureus isolates to 16 antibiotics by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Twenty three (11.27% of the total) S. aureus strains were isolated. Four (6.45%) strains were isolated from camel raw milk samples and 19 (13.34%) from goat raw milk samples. S. aureus isolates showed resistance to Nalidixic acid, Polymixin B, and Penicillin G. S. aureus isolates were sensitive to vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, cephalotin, gentamycin, Doxycycline, kanamycin, trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, norfloxacin, and erythromycin. Multi drug resistance was detected in 69.2% of the isolates. The present study has demonstrated the existence of alarmingly high level of multiple antimicrobial resistances of S. aureus among camel and goat milks.

“…Some researchers like Thaker et al (2013) 21 found S. aureus in milk and pedha samples. Possible contamination occurs due to bulk tanks, less hygienic milking processes, and udders of dirty animals.…”
