The present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of bacterial pathogens in milk samples and to assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the causative organisms in and around Hyderabad region of Telangana state, India. A total of 1143 milk samples were collected from cross bred dry cows from in and around Hyderabad region, and were subjected to bacteriological studies and in-vitro antibiotic sensitivity test. Out of 1143 samples, a total of 1168 bacterial isolates were obtained of which Staphylococcus sp. was found to be the most predominant followed by E. coli, Streptococci spp, and Pseudomonas spp. Antibiogram studies showed maximum sensitivity to ceftiofur with 60% for Staphylococcus sp. and Pseudomonas species, 58% for Streptococcus sp. and 90% for E. coli that were isolated in the current study. Hence, the probable use of Ceftiofur as a potential antimicrobial (preferably for mastitis) in the tested geographic region was proposed from the findings of the current study.
