Abstract:

The study was carried out in summer 2017 and winter 2018 in Khartoum State to investigate coliforms (total coliforms and Escherichia coli), Salmonella spp., Staphylo-coccus spp., yeasts, and molds in raw camel milk. Results indicated that coliform in the summer season, Staphylococcus aureus, yeasts and molds in summer and winter, Salmonella spp. were not detected in both seasons. Results revealed that Streptococcus spp and Staphylococcus spp. were the dominant bacteria in the raw camel milk.

Keywords:

Biological quality, raw camel milk, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Khartoum State, Sudan.
