Milk quality analyses were carried out at the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the LUA Research Centre "Sigra". The total amount of investigated samples was 140, of which 81.4% proved to be appropriate for extra and first class milk, but 18.6% were unqualitative. The total number of microorganisms ranged from 8000 to 20,000,000, but the number of somatic cells from 1000 to 4,068,000 in 1 ml of milk. Coagulase - positive Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in 8 cases or 5.7%. Coagulase - negative Staphylococcus were isolated in 31 cases or 22.1%. Using the BBL Crystal Indentification System for Gram-Positive microorganisms, four species of microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus intermedius, Micrococcus sedentarius and Micrococcus luteus were identified which are building various colonies on Baird-Parker Agar.
