ABSTRACT
Omer H, Saeed E., Bacteria isolated in multiple-dose medication
vials in dairy and poultry farms, Onl J Vet Res., 24
(11): 646-650, 2020. Prevalence of aerobic bacteria in
multiple-dose veterinary medication vials from 99 of 14 injectable and
non-injectable drugs from 13 dairy and 5 poultry farms were investigated.
Bacterial contamination was found in 24.2% injectable and 60.6% non-injectable containers.
The 9 isolates found included 3 pathogens. No difference was found between
poultry and dairy farms, but did exist between relatively good and bad hygienic
measures. Multiple-dose veterinary medication containers in animal farms are at
risk of contamination by potentially pathogenic bacteria which may constitute a
real threat to animal health.
Key words: Bacterial contamination, multipl-dose
veterinary medication vials, dairy, poultry farms.
