“…Coliforms, particularly Escherichia coli, are frequently used in the microbiological analysis of food as an indicator of poor hygienic condition (Parekh and Subhash, 2008). No coliforms were detected in any of the raw goats' milk analysed in the current study.…”

“…Microorganism in raw milk can originate from different sources such as air, milking equipment, feed, soil, faeces and grass [12,13] . The microorganism load and types found in milk shortly after milking are influenced by factors such as animal and equipment cleanness, season, ambient temperature, storage, personnel health, cleanness and animal health [14,15] .…”

“…Other secondary sources of microbial contamination occur during milk handling, transportation and storage. There is tertiary microbial contamination which occurs mainly due to re-contamination of milk after being processed due to unhygienic conditions and/or poor or improper handling and storage of milk during consumption (Parekh and Subhash, 2008). The quality of milk is determined by its composition and overall hygiene.…”

Escherichia coli is an emerging public health concern in most countries of the world. It is an important cause of food-borne human disease. The present study assessed the prevalence and determined the antibiotic resistance patterns of E. coli from raw milk marketed in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Of the raw milk marketed in Chittagong ~33(18%) of the 186 raw milk samples of it contains E. coli, indicator bacteria for any enteric pathogens. The mean viable count of total bacteria was 4.04×10 8 cfu/ml and the mean viable count of E. coli in the contaminated raw milk was 1.88×10 6 cfu/ml. E. coli from only six (18.2%) of the 33 positive samples yielded colourless colonies across the CT-SMAC, suggesting the probable presence of populations belonging to the serotype O157 and rest of the isolates 27 (81.82%) produced coloured colony on CT-SMAC considering the probable presence of populations belonging to the serotype non-O157. Growth of probable E. coli O157, as evidenced by the colourless colonies on CT-SMAC compared to coloured colonies from other bacteria. Confirmed isolates were further subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility test using the Agar disc diffusion technique. Antibiotics susceptibility profile showed that all the isolates in case of E. coli O157, penicillin (100%), tetracycline (100%), amoxicillin (83.33%) and erythromycin (83.33%) were the most resistant whereas ciprofloxacin (66.67%), gentamicin (50.0%), and streptomycin (50.0%) were the most sensitive antibiotics. In case of E.coli non-O157 susceptibility profile showed that chloramphenicol (40.74%), erythromycin (40.74%) and oxacillin (37.04%) were the most resistant whereas ciprofloxacin (70.37%), sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim (S/T) (59.26%) and gentamycin (55.55%) were the most sensitive antibiotics. The antimicrobial resistance exhibited by E. coli O157and non-O157 strains in this study is an indication of possible antibiotic abuse.
