Summary. Milk and dairy products are placed in the first group of risk because they can cause human diseases agent transmission. There is a risk of alimentary staphylococcal toxicosis, in the case of non-compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements for the primary processing of raw materials, manufacture and realization of finished products. The aim of this study was to estimate a level of milk and dairy ‘home-made’ products contamination with coagulase positive staphylococci, to determine the biological origin of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from dairy products, and its ability to produce enterotoxins. The article presents the results of raw milk and dairy products study from private (‘home-made’) production, which are selling at agro-food markets in Ukraine. Bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus are isolated from raw milk and dairy products in 80.3–93.3% of cases. Coagulase positive Staphylococcus species were isolated from sour cream — in 57.8% of cases, which was 1.7 times more in comparison with the samples of raw milk and was 2.5 times more in comparison with curd. Two biotypes of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus var. bovis and S. aureus var. hominis) were isolated from samples of raw milk and dairy ‘home-made’ products, which were realized at the markets. In this case, 46.6 ± 3.1% of isolated cultures were classified as a biotype S. aureus var. bovis, and 53.4 ± 3.7% — to human ecovar. It means that the main source of contamination of ‘home-made’ cream by staphylococcus is people who do not follow proper hygiene and sanitation during the producing process, namely: milking of cows, primary processing of raw milk, production and realizing of dairy products. It was found that S. aureus var. hominis had produced type A of enterotoxin in raw milk and dairy products of private (‘home-made’) production, which, generally, is cause of food toxicosis in humans.
