Abstract

A total of 100 random samples of luncheon meat were collected randomly from different markets and restaurants in El-Behira governorate, Egypt. for microbiological testing for quality Each sample weighed 250 gram. The collected samples were transferred as rapidly and directly as possible to the laboratory in an insulated ice box under complete aseptic conditions for (1)- Aerobic plate count (APC), (2)- Enterobactericeae count (EC), ( 3)- Coliforms count (CC) , (4)- Staphylococci count (SC) and (5) - detection of Salmonellae . The incidence of Aerobic Bacterial count (APC) , Enterobactericeae count (EC) , Coliforms count (CC) and Staphylococci count (SC) was 100% , 80% , 50% and 40% respectively . The mean value of APC, EC, CC and SC was 2.40 x 103, 3.52 x 103, 1.75 x 103 and 1.12 x 103 respectively. Salmonella failed detection from any sample. ..The public health significance of such bacteriological counts and isolated microorganisms as well as suggestive measures was discussed.
