Some antibiotic resistant bacteria of public health hazard isolated from raw milk sold in some Assiut City markets

ABSTRACT

A total of 50 raw milk samples were collected in this study from some Assiut City markets, Egypt, and examined for isolation of some human hazard pathogens. The percentages of the isolated pathogens were 46, 76, 78, 4 and 24% for Staph. aureus. Enterococcus faecalis, E. coli, Citrobacter freundii and Yersinia enterocolitica respectively. In vitro Antibiogram was carried out on all isolates against [8] different antimicrobial agents; moreover, ail of these isolates showed multi-drug resistance against tow or more of the tested antibiotics. The public heath hazards of the isolated pathogens were alsfrtliscussed
