| Abstract | Staphylococcus species are the main cause of small ruminantโs intramammary infections. This study was carried out todetermine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis associated with Staphylococcus in goat milk and their resistance to antibiotics inNsukka Agricultural area of Enugu State, Nigeria. Eighty-four milk samples were collected from goats randomly. White slidemastitis test was performed on the milk. Catalase production, coagulase production and haemolytic testing was done on thestaphylococci isolates. Antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out using disc diffusion method. Eleven antibiotics were used.Eighty-four (100%) isolates were recovered. They were catalase positive and non-haemolytic. Forty-five (53.6%) were coagulasepositive while 39 (46.4%) were coagulase negative. The isolates showed high resistance to ampicillin, cefoxitin, oxacillin,vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, kanamycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. This study shows that there is high prevalence ofStaphylococcus species in goat milk in Nsukka Agricultural zone of Enugu State. The high resistance to antibiotics shown by theisolates could make it difficult to treat mastitis in that area. |
