Samples of raw milk from cow, cottage cheese and khoa sweets indicated that S. aureus contamination was higher in east of Agra (Ram Bagh), whereas samples of raw milk from buffalo, collected from the west of Agra (Sikandra), showed higher S. aureus contamination. Least contamination was observed in samples of khoa sweets and cottage cheese collected from west of Agra (Sikandra) and in samples of cow and buffalo milk collected from North of Agra (Dayalbagh) and east of Agra (Ram Bagh), respectively. The incidence of high contamination in raw milk and milk products suggests that protective measures are inadequate and need to be enforced to avoid potential threat to public healthPrispevek opisuje vzorčenje, osamitev in biokemijsko karakterizacijo bakterije Staphylococus aureus iz surovega mleka krav in bivolov ter mlečnih proizvodov (khoa in skuta) na neorganiziranem proizvodnem območju mesta Agra v Indiji. Vzorci surovega kravjega mleka, skute in khoe kažejo, da je bila kontaminacija s S. aureus močnejša na vzhodu Agre (Ram Bagh), medtem ko so bili vzorci surovega mleka bivolov bolj kontaminirani na območju zahodnega dela Agre (Sikandra). Najnižjo raven kontaminacije smo opazovali v vzorcih khoe in skute z zahodnega dela Agre (Sikandra) in v vzorcih kravjega in bivoljega mleka s severnega (Dazalbagh) in vzhodnega dela Agre (Ram Bagh). Visoka stopnja kontaminacije mleka in mlečnih proizvodov kaže, da zaščitni ukrepi za preprečevanje kontaminacij niso ustrezni in jih je nujno treba izboljšati, da bi se izognili ogrožanju javnega zdravjaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Biotehniška fakulteta
