Summary

The microbiological quality of raw cow's milk, taken at different intervals from the farm to the selling point in Bamako, was studied. Prior to milk sampling, each container and all the material used were flushed with sterile water and bacteriological determinations were made. A strong increase in the total count (TC) of bacteria was observed during transport from the farm to the market. The main indicators considered were TC, Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus. The milk containers played a major role in the increase in the milk flora that occurred during transport.
