Abstract

Campylobacters and salmonellas were isolated respectively from 6 and 0.2% of samples of unpasteurized cow's milk on sale to the public. There was a significant association between the presence of Escherichia coli and that of Campylobacter jejuni. The mean E. coli count was also higher in campylobacter-positive samples. Enumeration of E. coli would seem to have value as an indicator of faecal contamination and thus potential hazard in raw milk.
