India is a developing country and faces greater challenges m this aspect due to poor knowledge of processing or storage of dairy products which is responsible for transmission of a number of milk-borne zoonotic diseases viz., tuberculosis, brucellosis, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis etc. These diseases pose severe threat to human life and some of them could be fatal as well. There is a need to detect these pathogens which can transmit due to insufficient pasteurization of milk or milk products or through post-pasteurization contamination, m order to successfully avoid transmission of these diseases.
