Hamza DA., Antibiotic resistance and prevalence
of pathogenic bacteria from sheep-goat milk and dairy workers in Giza, Egypt, Onl J Vet Res., 19(11): 713-720, 2015. Three hundred raw sheep & goat milk
samples from dairy farms located around Giza, Egypt had total bacterial count
of 4.8-5.1 x103 CFU/ml consisting of Staphylococcus ~40, E.
coli ~23, Pseudomonas and Micrococcous
~13 and Klebsiella spp
~10%. Highest resistance occurred in S. aureus to chloramphenicol
100, Erythromycin ~60
and clindamycin ~50%,
Resistance by Escherichia coli to ofloxacin was ~85 and
chloramphenicol, erythromycin and oxacillin ~60%.
Resistance patterns of S. aureus from hand
swabs of dairy workers was similar to raw milk samples.
