Antibiotic resistance profile for staphylococcus species recovered from milk

الملخص EN

A total of 220 milk samples from buffaloes and cows (150 from buffaloes and 70 from cows) were investigated.

Samples were cultured on Baird Parker media for isolation of Staphylococcus, especially S.aureus from apparently normal, clinical and subclinical mastitis cases.

The total isolates were 42(19%) from raw milk samples (27 from buffaloes and 15 from cows) 220.

The aim of this study is to characterize phenotypically Staphylococcus spp.

The collected samples were taken from selected areas to increase the range of information available about antibiotic resistance profile.

This enhances formulating strategies to reduce the spread of this bacterium and also avoiding its health hazard on animals and human beings
