ABSTRACT
Omer H, Saed
E., Bacterial contamination in
medication vials in dairy and poultry farms in Sudan, Onl
J Vet Res., 28 (1): 50-66, 2024. 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. Of 66 parenteral and
33 non-parenteral open multiple-dose preparations, 36 were by 41 isolates, with
2 isolates obtained from each of 5 samples. 24% parenteral samples were
contaminated whereas 60% non-parenteral samples were. Of the 9 isolates, 7 were
Gram-positive with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10%), Staphylococcus
aureus and Bacillus cereus (8%), Micrococcus luteus,
Micrococcus varians, Neisseria mucosa,
Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus auricularis and Staphylococcus epidermidis
(1-5%). B. cereus, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were
isolated from both dairy and poultry farms and from parenteral and
non-parenteral preparations with similar prevalence. Level of contamination and
hygiene were associated but difference was found between poultry and dairy
farms.
Key words: Bacterial contamination, multiple-dose
veterinary medication vials, dairy, poultry farms.
