The study was conducted on 120 samples of cow milk offered for sale in shops in the markets of Hama city, which were collected randomly from different parts of city (east \u2013 west \u2013 north \u2013 south) with equal numbers. The results of bacterial isolation and biochemical tests showed that 8 samples of cow milk out of 120 samples taken from the markets of Hama city were positive. The overall prevalence of contamination by <em>Salmonella<\/em> in cow milk in Hama city was 6.67%. The highest prevalence of contamination by <em>Salmonella<\/em> was in east part, reaching 13.33%, while the lowest prevalence of contamination by <em>Salmonella<\/em>\u00a0 was in west and south parts, where it amounted to 3.33%. These results are an indication of a risk on the health of consumers, as <em>Salmonella<\/em> is among the pathogens of foodborne diseases, which threat public health in community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words<\/strong>: cow milk, \u00a0<em>salmonella<\/em>, \u00a0microbial contamination, \u00a0Hama city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Full Paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n2p10.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omran Faour(1)*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maher Oda Bashi(2) (1).
