The Detection of Brucella Bacteria with PCR and Bacteriological Method in Raw Milk and Some of the Dairy Products Which Are Consumed in Kars

Because of the abortus by the contamination to the humans via direct contact with infected animals or the consumption of contaminated raw milk and dairy products, brucellosis greatly causes to economic loss. For this reason, the annihilating of the effect of this disease is considerably important. Here, we aimed to detect the existence of Brucella bacteria in raw milk, cheese which is produced from raw milk and butter samples by using isolation, identification and PCR molecular techniques. Brucella type agents were detected in within a year by using 315 samples; 215 raw milk, 50 cheeses, 50 butter. Cheese and butter samples were obtained from raw milk. The grams coloring, oxidase, catalase, urease and H sub(2) S analysis of 215 raw milk samples showed that only 4 (%1.86) samples was Brucella positive. As a result, we have determined that there are several types of Brucellosis bacteria in milk, cheese and butter samples. Milk and dairy products can create a risk in Kars because of brucellosis.
