Milk can be a source of various pathogenic microorganisms that can cause foodborne    illness. Here are 20 examples of pathogens that may be present in milk:

1.    Listeria monocytogenes

2.    Salmonella spp.

3.    Escherichia coli (E. coli)

4.    Staphylococcus aureus

5.    Bacillus cereus

6.    Mycobacterium tuberculosis

7.    Yersinia enterocolitica

8.    Campylobacter jejuni

9.    Cryptosporidium spp.

10. Giardia spp.

11. Shigella spp.

12. Streptococcus agalactiae

13. Brucella spp.

14. Mycobacterium bovis

15. Coxiella burnetii

16. Vibrio cholerae

17. Proteus spp.

18. Aeromonas hydrophila

19. Clostridium perfringens

20. Enterococcus spp.

It's important to note that not all strains of these microorganisms are pathogenic and that the presence of these microorganisms in milk can vary depending on the quality of milk and the conditions of production, handling, and storage. The pasteurization process is an effective method to kill most of these microorganisms and reduce the risk of foodborne illness associated with milk consumption.
