ABSTRACT
The study was designed with the aim to isolate Staphylococcus aureus from traditionally made milk based sweet products i.e Gulabjaman, Rasgulla, Khoa, Mawa and Rabri sold at sweet meat shops of Hyderabad. The results of the present investigation revealed that out of 150 samples, 35 samples (23.33%) were found contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus. The highest rate of contamination was recorded from the samples of Rabri that is 9 samples (30%), followed by Khoa 8 (26.67%), Mawa 7 (23.33%), Gulabjaman 6 (20%) and Rasgulla 5 (16.67%).
