Anti-microbial agents are widely used in Kenya for the treatment of diseases in both man and animals. Of major public health concern is the possible presence of anti-microbial residues in milk that is not withheld from human consumption or due to addition by market agents as preservative. This is...

Antimicrobial residues detected in marketed milk in urban and rural areas in Kenya.
Antimicrobial agents are used widely in veterinary and human medicine worldwide. However, their use has suffered a major setback globally due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in a wide range of microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of AMR in household mi...

Assessing and managing milk-borne health risks for the benefit of consumers in Kenya
The risk of consuming marketed milk containing antimicrobial residues was investigated by testing 854 unpasteurized and 110 pasteurized milk samples collected from contrasting locations, market outlets and consumer households in Kenya during 1999 and 2000. The Charm-AIM screening kit used detecte...

Antimicrobial agents detected in marketed milk in Kenya
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) food poisoning results from consumption of preformed S. aureus enterotoxins in food. The enterotoxins are one of the most important virulence factors of the bacterium. The risk posed by contamination of milk intended for human consumption by pathogenic S. aureus in past...
