Abstract

          This study was carried out to enumerate the microbial loads in pasteurized bottled milk drinks. The microbial load was determined by serial dilution and spread plate techniques while the isolation and identification of Bacillus species was done using Mannitol Yolk Polymyxin and conventional biochemical methods. Four out of the nine products sampled had no microbial growth while the remaining five had total viable count that ranged from 8.0 x 106 to 1.32 x 107 cfu/ml. The highest load was discovered in BBStar while the lowest microbial load was discovered in Bobo. Five species of Bacillus were isolated out of which four were Bacillus cereus and one were Bacillus subtilis. The high microbial load and isolation of Bacillus species in these pasteurized milk drinks pose a major threat to consumers of these products.
