Twenty sausage samples were randomly collected from food shops super microbiologically investigated for the presence of some pathogenic microorganisms including Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, detected in 70% of the examined samples with an average counts of 4.2x10Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium examined samples, with an average counts of 20x10 pathogenic bacteria including 22 isolates Yersinia enterocolitica, and 10 isolates identified following the biochemical identification tests. Only 47 (71%) out of the tested 66 isolates were confirmed as pathogenic species using Hi identification kits and latex test kits. The obtained results indicated that these foods may pose a source of infection to the consumer. Measures to control the quality of the raw material, environmental and hygienic conditions during preparation and handling should be taken.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
