| Abstract: | SUMMARY: Composite morning milk samples were taken once weekly for 9 weeks from 24 dairy farms. In all 208 samples were tested, and coagulase positive staphylococci ( aureus, albus and citreus ) were isolated from 127 (61%). The week by week recovery of these staphylococci from individual farm samples varied between 11% and 88% Penicillin resistant coagulase positive strains were recovered from 20 samples (10%). |
