“…On the other hand, 7 brand milk samples were tested out of which 3 samples were positive for S. aureus, 2 samples were positive for E. coli and no sample was positive for Salmonella typhi, whereas the prevalence of the organisms was 42.86 %, 28.57% and 0%, respectively (Table 3). In this study, the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi in milk samples has received considerable attention which is in support of several scientists (Zecconi and Hahn, 2000;Mrema et al, 2006;Jay, 2000;Watts, 1989;Jones, 1990;Dabassa and Bacha, 2012;Hasan et al, 2015). E. coli may be considered an indicator microorganism of faecal contamination and other enteric pathogens.…”

Cow's milk containing pathogenic bacteria is an important threat to the consumers. The objectives of the present study were to identify the bacterial agents of public health importance in milk samples (n=35) of different locations and to determine their sensitivity to different antibiotics. The milk samples were collected and transported aseptically and subsequently allowed for culture in bacteriological media, Gram's staining and biochemical tests for the identification of bacterial species. The bacteria identified were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi, and their prevalence, in case of vendor milk specimens (n=28), were 96.43%, 53.57% and 35.71% respectively, and of brand milk specimens (n=7), were 42.86 %, 28.57% and 0%, respectively. This suggests that cautionary measures should be taken for quality milk production and consumption. The antibiotic sensitivity test was done by disc diffusion method and the average inhibition zones, in case of Staphylococcus aureus, were 32 mm for oxytetracycline, 26 mm for amoxicillin, 35 mm for ciprofloxacin, 27 mm for cefotaxime, 30 mm for ceftriaxone, 30 mm for azithromycin, and 26 mm for erythromycin; in case of Escherichia coli, were 5 mm for oxytetracycline, 9 mm for amoxicillin, 22 mm for ciprofloxacin, 30 mm for cefotaxime, 31 mm for ceftriaxone, 15 mm for azithromycin, and 0 mm for erythromycin; in case of Salmonella typhi., were 25 mm for oxytetracycline, 24 mm for amoxicillin, 38 mm for ciprofloxacin, 31 mm for cefotaxime, 34 mm for ceftriaxone, 24 mm for azithromycin, and 0 mm for erythromycin. Therefore, ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone may be the antibiotics of first choice, and cefotaxime and azithromycin may be the second choice among the test antibiotics for the treatment of illness caused by these bacteria.

“…Salmonella infections are more common in the developing world, largely due to improper sanitation and low socio-economic status. Humans acquire Salmonella infection from contaminated foods such as beef products, pork, poultry, eggs, egg products, milk and milk products and water (Bajaj et al 2003a;Mrema et al 2006). Poultry products have been implicated as the major source of food borne illness caused by Salmonella sp.…”

The antibiotic resistance profile of 17 poultry isolates of Salmonella was studied against 24 different antibiotics. 69-88% of the Salmonella isolates displayed a high level of resistance, particularly against penicillin, rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, sulphamethoxazole and vancomycin. In contrast, a relatively low or moderate level of resistance was observed against furazolidone, spectinomycin, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, cefepime, carbenicillin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, oxacillin and cephalothin (11-59%). Moreover, resistance to multiple antibiotics (2-5) was also observed among the Salmonella strains, and none of the isolates was found susceptible to all the antibiotics used. Similarity coefficient among Salmonella strains by RAPD-PCR analysis varied from 0.60 to 0.86, and all the salmonellae could be classified into seven groups on the basis of dendrogram analysis. Generally, a very high level of concordance between RAPD-PCR profile and antibiotic profile was not observed, which indicates that genes for antibiotic resistance may not always be present on genomic DNA rather may be plasmid-borne.

“…Another study found the predominant serotype to be S. typhimurium var Copenhagen (Sorensen et al, 2002). Other studies have reported the predominant serotype to be S. enteritidis (Domínguezet al, 2002;Mayrhofer et, 2004), S. bredeney (Duffy et al, 1999) and S. anatum (Mrema et al, 2006). The different results may reflect the different meat types examined (meat cuts vs ground meat) or different geographic locations of sampling.…”
