Mycobacterium bovis that causes Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) can be transmitted to humans thought consumption of raw and raw fermented milk products from diseased animals. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used in popular traditional milk products in Africa produce anti-microbial compounds that inhibit some pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. M.bovis BCG is an attenuated non-pathogenic vaccine strain of M.bovis and the aim of the study was to determine the effect of the fermentation process on the survival of M. bovis BCG in milk.
