Ocorrência de resíduos de antibióticos em leite pasteurizado integral e padronizado produzido e comercializado no estado de Goiás

Resumo

The presence of antibiotics in milk is a risk factor for consumers. It may cause allergy, bacterial resistance and even anaphylatic shocks in sensitive individuals. In order to investigate the residues of antibiotics in milk, we performed a study in 533 samples of integral and standard pasteurized milk produced and commercialized in Goiás, Brazil, from June 1997 to August 1998. The method was based on the diffusion of residues of antibiotics in agar with Bacillus subtilus and Bacillus stearothermophilus, which act as testing microrganisms. Although residues were only found in 9,95% of the samples, 32,65% were positive as far as trade marks were concerned. The results indicate that, despite of the low occurrence, the presence of these residues in milk demonstrates that the standard sanitary procedures recommended by the Brazilian Federal Inspection Service have not been followed.
