During 3 months’ time span of study, a total of ten samples were gathered where eight of the samples powdered milk (2), ultra-high-temperature milk (2), ice cream (2) &amp; mango milk (2) were gathered from different places of Bangladesh &amp; other 2 samples (raw milk) were collected from a cattle farm &amp; individual households in &amp; around Noakhali city. The samples were gathered under aseptic safety measures and were followed by plating on non-selective media (Nutrient broth) &amp; selective media (Mannitol Salt Agar &amp; Macconkey agar). The presumptive <em>Klebsiella spp.</em>, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>Escherichia coli</em> &amp; <em>Pseudomonas spp.</em> isolates were identified by biochemical tests. Analysis of the result discovered that out of a total of 10 samples; raw milk (2), processed milk i.e. powdered milk (2), ultra-high-temperature milk (2) and dairy products i.e. mango milk (2) and ice cream (2) resulted in the isolation of 8 isolates (2.5%) of <em>S. aureus</em>, (12.5%) of <em>Klebsiella spp.</em>, (2.5%) of <em>Pseudomonas spp.</em> &amp; (2.5%) of <em>Escherichia coli</em>. Results recommended a probability of potential public health threat of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>Klebsiella spp.</em>,<em> Escherichia coli</em> &amp; <em>Pseudomonas spp.</em> resulting from contamination of milk and dairy products with pathogenic microorganisms is mainly due to unhygienic practices and conditions in the handling, production, and processing.</p> ER -
