This study determined the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk and milk products in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. A total of 180 samples comprising of fresh raw milk, bulk milk, Nono, and Kindirmo were collected over a period of 6 months. Standard microbiological procedures were employed in the isolation, identification, characterization and determination of the antibiogram of S. aureus from the milk samples. Characterization was achieved by morphological, biochemical characteristics using conventional methods and Microgen® STAPH-ID kits. The isolates were tested for susceptibility or resistance to a panel of 11 commonly used antibiotics using the agar disc diffusion technique. Out of the 180 milk samples examined, nine (9) S. aureus were isolated giving a prevalence of 5.0%. The occurrence of S. aureus was higher in Nono (12.1%) and Kindirmo (10.6%) than in fresh raw milk (5.9%). The kind of water (well water) used for cleaning utensils at the Nono and Kindirmo selling points was found to be a risk factor associated with the occurrence of S. aureus in the products. All of the isolates were resistant to cefoxitin (100%), ampicillin (100%), and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (100%). The isolates displayed various rates of resistance to erythromycin (22.2%), sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim (22.2%), and tetracycline (44.4%). Five (5) antibiotic resistance patterns were recorded among the isolates an indication of different levels of use and misuse of antibiotics in the areas studied. The detection of Staphylococcus aureus in fresh and fermented milk in the areas studied suggests that consumption of dairy products especially those produced using traditional methods, constitute a hazard to consumers. It is recommended that since compliance with basic hygiene requirements is not guaranteed, hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) concepts should be seen as a part of an effective total hygiene concept at the selling points.

This study aimed to isolate Staphylococcus aureus in refrigerated raw cow milk, and identify the presence of enterotoxin-expression genes, enterotoxin production and adherence ability, and antimicrobial resistance potential of the isolated strains. Fifty raw milk samples obtained in different dairy farms were analyzed for S. aureus and evaluated in the isolates the presence of genes associated with the production of major staphylococcal enterotoxins and biofilm formation. In vitro assays were also performed to evaluate the production of enterotoxins and adherence ability, and the antimicrobial resistance. One half (25/50) of raw milk samples presented coagulase-positive staphylococci and 95.2% of the isolates were confirmed to be S. aureus. Among them, 42.4% were carrying genes for enterotoxins production; however, only one isolate was able to produce enterotoxins. All S. aureus isolates were carrying at least two genes associated with biofilm formation and 95.2% isolates was able to adhere upon the in vitro assay. All isolates demonstrated antimicrobial resistance potential to one or more of the tested antibiotics.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to determine the microbiological quality of raw cows’ milk of Oujda city. Raw milk samples are collected randomly between June 2014 and May 2015 from 20 Mahlaba (dairies) for microbiological evaluation. The samples are analyzed to determine total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB), total coliform, fecal coliform, staphylococcus aureus, fecal streptococci, proteolytic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria. The results of bacterial count showed that there is a variation between all the milk samples and a period effect is also observed. The mean counts of total mesophilic aerobic bacteria from all sale points are between 1.76×106 and 40.17×106 CFU/ml. Milk samples reveled counts total coliform and fecal coliform ranging from 0.58×105 to 11.10×105 CFU/ml and from 0.60×103 to 14.64×103 CFU/ml, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus are also detected in all samples with counts ranging from 0.35 ×103 to 3.08×103 CFU/ml. Fecal streptococci are found in all milk samples, at counts ranging from 0.16 ×102 to 2.18 ×102 CFU/ml. And finally, proteolytic and lactic acid bacteria are between 0.3×103 and 2.86×103 CFU/ml and 2.37×106 and 24.14 ×106 CFU/ml respectively. These results indicate a lack of compliance with good manufacturing practice at milking, collection and transportation of raw milk.

Introduction: Milk is an important food in Egypt and most of it is sold as raw milk in informal markets. Methodology: This study was conducted to investigate the public health risks of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in milk sold in informal markets in Egypt. A total of 121 milk samples were analyzed for occurrence, virulence genes and antibiotic resistance of E. coli and S. aureus. Results: A total of 35/121 (28.9%) of milk samples were contaminated with 16/121 (13.2%) E. coli, 22/121 (18.2%) S. aureus, and 3/121 (2.5%) both isolates. Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC), Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and Enterotoxigenic S. aureus were detected in 5/121 (4.1%), 2/121 (1.7%) and 8/121 (6.6%) of the examined milk samples, respectively. Multiple drug resistances (MDRs) were showed by 14/16 (87.5%) and 21/22 (95.5%) of E. coli and S. aureus isolates, respectively. E. coli isolates showed high resistance for cephalothin (87.5%), ampicillin (68.8%) and tetracycline (68.8%), but were sensitive for gentamicin and chloramphenicol. Resistance phenotypes of E. coli were diverse; however, STEC isolates were significantly associated with co-resistance to cephalothin, ampicillin and tetracycline (P< 0.05). Two (9.1%) of S. aureus isolates were methicillin-resistant (MRSA) but sensitive to gentamicin (GS-MRSA). Five (22.7%) of S. aureus isolates were gentamicin-resistant methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (GR-MSSA). S. aureus isolates also showed high resistance for ampicillin (100%), tetracycline (90.1%) and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (90.1%). Conclusion: These findings highlighted the potential public health hazards of E. coli and S. aureus pathogens in raw milk sold in informal markets in Egypt.

The presence of Staphylococcus aureus in raw milk is considered a direct danger to consumers. Almost all types of dairy products normalize the amount of Staphylococcus aureus in 1 g (cm3) of product, due to their ability to produce thermostable enterotoxins. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of incision of teats of healthy and sick mastitis cows and milking equipment for irradiation of cow's milk with Staphylococcus aureus. Sanitation of milking equipment in farms was carried out with alkaline detergents based on sodium hypochlorite and acid based on phosphoric acid. Blood agar with 5 % sodium chloride was used to isolate staphylococci from washes and milk. Species identification of pure cultures of staphylococci was performed using RapID Staph Plus kits. At the same time before and after milking the skin of teats with Udder Wash and Udder Forte reduces the incidence of Staphylococcus aureus to 4.1 ± 0.3 % of cases. Quantitative determination of staphylococci, including golden on the skin of the teats revealed a decrease in the latter from 283.5 ± 21.2 to 27.6 ± 2.1 CFU/cm3 flush after milking. It has been established that the number of staphylococci, including golden, on the skin of teats increases sharply under subclinical or clinical ointment. Thus, it was found that in the subclinical form of staphylococcal mastitis from the skin of teats isolated S. aureus in the amount of 790.6 ± 65.4 CFU/cm3 of wash. At the same time, in the clinical form of mastitis, the amount of S. aureus increased, on average to 8 thousand CFU/cm3 of flush. It was found that under the condition of sanitary treatment of milking equipment with alternate use of alkaline and acid detergents and disinfectants, only 25 % of washes were staphylococci, and gold – up to 5 % of samples. It was found that in 43.7 ± 3.9 % of raw milk samples Staphylococcus aureus was not detected in 1 cm3. The number of milk samples containing Staphylococcus aureus up to 100 CFU/cm3 was 39.1 ± 3.3 %, and 17.2 ± 1.4 % of milk samples were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus in the amount of 101 to 200 CFU/cm3. Therefore, the presence of more than 200 CFU/cm3 in freshly milked Staphylococcus aureus in milk indicates the ineffectiveness of antimastitis measures, skin remediation of teats and sanitation of milking equipment.

Staphylococcal food poisoning is considered one of the leading foodborne illnesses in humans worldwide and is associated with contaminated foods of animal origin, such as milk and dairy products. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of staphylococci and the enterotoxigenic properties of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw milk from yaks (Bos mutus) and cattle in Mongolia. Staphylococci were isolated from 72 (74%) of the 97 raw milk samples. Of the samples containing staphylococci, 69% (50 of 72) were from yaks and 30.5% (22 of 72) were from cattle. S. aureus was detected in 10% of yak (7 of 72) and 21% of cattle (15 of 72) milk samples. Staphylococcal enterotoxin C was detected in 23% (5 of 22) of the S. aureus strains investigated, based on the reverse passive latex agglutination technique. Three of the five enterotoxigenic strains were from yaks and two were from cattle. None of the S. aureus strains tested produced staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, or D. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of staphylococci and enterotoxigenic S. aureus in milk from yaks and cattle in Mongolia.
