Abstract Recovery of salmonellae and Escherichia coli from a total number of 100 random samples of different types of packed meat products was evaluated. The collected samples were 30 from each beefburger and sausage and 40 from minced meat samples, respectively. Out of the analysed 100 samples, salmonellae were detect¬ed only in 6(6%), 5 isolates from beefburger and only one strain from sausage samples, while they could not be recovered from the examined minced meat samples. The isolated salmonella serotypes were two strains of S.typhimurium and three strains . of S.typhi detected in examined beefburger samples, while the’ only S.paratyphi A strain was recovered from sausage samples. Regarding the isolation of E.coli, they were detected in only 14 samples, 2 strains from beefburger, 5 from sausage and 7 from examined minced meat samples, where their incidence was 6.67%, 16.67% and 17.50% of the examined samples, respect- ively. The isolated E.coli strains were identified serologically into eight strains as E.coli biovar I and 4 strains as biovar II. The serotyped strains revealed 6 different serovars.

The serovar only in beefburger, while four the examined sausage samples, 0111 : K58 (B4), °128: K67 (B12), °26: K60 (B6) and °126: K7 (B16). from the examined minced meat samples, seven serovars were found, two strains from each of 0111 : K58 (B4), °86: K61 (B7) and 0126: K7 (B16) and only one strain of °26: K60 (B6). vars namely, 035 : K59 (B5), 026 : K60 (B6), ° 111 : K 58 (B4) °35 : K59 (B5) was detected serovars were recovered from Sources of contamination, precautions during preparation and manufacturing and public heal th hazards for the presence of salmonella and E. coli in such examined meat products were discussed. |
