A dairy product processing plant was studied for 2.5 years to examine contamination with Staphylococcus aureus and try to correlate the source of contamination. Cultures were submitted to an antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) and characterised by Pulsed-field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis. Results showed that 35.2% (19/51) of food handlers were asymptomatic carriers of S. aureus, and that 90.4% (19/21) of raw milk sampled was contaminated. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from only 10 samples among more than 3200 investigated dairy products. No S. aureus contamination was found on machinery. The AST analysis demonstrated sensitivity of tested S. aureus to oxacillin, cephalothin, vancomycin, gentamicin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. AST analysis generated eight different phenotypic profiles, but did not allow us to identify the source of contamination in seven of ten final products. PFGE analysis proved to be a sensitive method as it generated 42 different DNA banding profiles among the 48 S. aureus investigated, demonstrating a lack of predominance of endemic strains in the plant, contrary to suggestions raised by antibiotic resistance typing. Based on PFGE genotyping, S. aureus strains isolated from four contaminated final products were similar to four S. aureus isolated from raw milk. Five final products contained S. aureus different from all other strains collected, and one showed similarity to a strain isolated from a food handler. These results suggest contamination by raw milk as the main source of contamination of the final dairy products.Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, dairy products, antibiotic susceptibility, PFGE.

The increase of pathogens in milk is threatening for the human beings. This is an investigation on overall microbiological analysis of raw and pasteurized milk as well as the milk-based beverages and also determining the antibiotic resistance pattern of isolated Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A total of 100 samples (raw milk, pasteurized milk, mattha, lassi and laban) were taken from various locations of the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. Total Viable Count, Total Coliform Count and Yeast and Moulds Count were performed as the microbiological inspection of selected samples. E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus were identified by conducting morphological analysis, gram-staining and biochemical tests. Antibiotic resistance pattern of isolated Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus aureus were also detected with 11 commonly used antibiotics by conducting disc-diffusion method, following the CLSI guideline. The TVC range was the highest in raw milk samples (3.8×104 – 4.1×108 cfu/ml), and the lowest in pasteurized milk samples (1.2×102 – 5.4×103 cfu/ml), while 70% raw milk and 10% pasteurized milk samples strains were above the acceptable limit of Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thirty-six Escherichia coli and thirty-two Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from all the 100 milk and milk-based beverage samples. The isolated Escherichia coli strains were most resistant to Penicillin G (81.58%), Erythromycin (78.94%) and Ampicillin (73.68%), and isolated Staphylococcus aureus strains were most resistant to Penicillin G (90.62%), Ampicillin (81.25%) and Methicillin (71.87%). respectively. Public awareness is needed to reduce the redundant use of antibiotics.

Background and Aim: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of infection in both humans and animals. Most livestock strains have shown antibiotic resistance to the many molecules used in veterinary therapeutics. This study aimed to assess the resistance patterns of these bacteria, we carried out our study in the Tiaret and Souk Ahras areas of Algeria. Materials and Methods: We collected 116 samples of bovine and goat milk to detect S. aureus. We used a selective media to isolate the strains, followed by biochemically identifying the isolates. We determined the susceptibility of the strains to antibiotic molecules using the disk diffusion method and confirmed the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) with oxacillin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Results: Our results showed that 26.72% of the samples were contaminated with S. aureus, and we recovered 31 isolates from the positive samples. We ascribed a high resistance profile to penicillin G (96.77%), fusidic acid (67.74%), and tobramycin (45.16%) and isolated 4MRSA strains. Conclusion: The presence of S. aureus, including MRSA strains in raw milk, can present a public health hazard, because these strains can cause widespread food poisoning . This finding will be useful to the veterinarians to choose an adequate treatment and to sensitize livestock breeders and milk producers to ensure the health of consumers.
