Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present
study was to determine the susceptibility of subclinical mastitis
pathogens isolated from goat's milk and to evaluate the
antimicrobial activity of Algerian honey on mastitis causing
bacteria.
Materials and Methods: The antibacterial activity against
the isolated bacteria was evaluated by determining the Minimal
Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), using the agar incorporation
method.
Results: The results showed that both Micrococcus spp. and
Klebsiella spp. were susceptible to Streptomycin and tetracycline,
while Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E coli, Enterobacter spp., Bacillus
spp., and Coagulase Negative Staphyloccoci (CNS) were
preferentially susceptible to Streptomycin. However, Streptococcus
D was the most resistant to the tested antibiotics whereas
Staphylococcus aureus was the most susceptible to all the studied
antibiotics. As regards to the antimicrobial activity of honey,
the measured values were comprised between 11 and 14%.
Conclusion: The results reveal that antimicrobial drugs
susceptibility tests in goat subclinical mastitis might be
necessary before the treatment. Algerian honey exhibited in vitro
antimicrobial activity against different isolated bacteria in goat
mastitis.
Keywords: antibiotics, antimicrobial activity, goat, honey,
subclinical mastitis, susceptibility.
