Abstract
Bacteriological quality of 160 raw cow's milk collected from 6 different governorates in Egypt was evaluated. Milk samples were obtained from retail markets in winter and summer seasons. Total Bacterial Count, Total Coliform Count, Faecal Coliform Count and Staphylococcus aureus count were estimated in the examined samples. 100% of the examined samples failed the legal standards for Total Bacterial count, Total Coliform Count and Staphylococcus aureus count which are 104, 102and 102cfu/ml respectively. Bacillus cereus, Salmonella sp < /em>., E.coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes could be detected in the examined samples with ratios: 26.25%, 0%, 5% and 5% in winter season samples and 32.50%, 3.75%, 6.25% and 6.25% in summer season samples respectively. The findings of this study raised the need for educational programs for dairy producers and consumers about the risk associated with the consumption of raw milk.
