The present study was designed to monitor the incidence of pathogenic bacteria in Nile fish. Ninety random samples of fresh Nile fish Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), Clarias gariepinus (African catfish) and Cyprinus carpio (Common carp) (30 samples of each) were randomly and periodically collected from different markets in Gharbia governorate, Egypt. They were packaged and marked individually in polyethylene bags, and bacteriologically and serologically examined. Our result showed that the incidence of E.coli was70% (n=21), 34% (n=10) and 73% (n=22) from Nile tilapia, catfish and carp, respectively. E .coli isolates From Nile tilapia (four),catfish (three) and carp (three)were serotyped. Serological identification revealed that the isolates from Nile tilapiawere (O84, O26, O128 and O119), from catfish were (O84, O26 and O128) and from carp were (O17, O128 and O119). The incidence of S. aureus were 27% (n=8), 60% (n=18) and 67% (n=20) from Nile tilapia, catfish and carp, respectively. Salmonella was failed to be detected in any of the examined fish samples. The incidence of Aeromonas spp were 80% (n=24), 100% (n=30) and 93% (n=28) from Nile tilapia, catfish and common carp, respectively. The incidence of Pseudomonas spp were93%(n=28), 100% (n=30) and 53% (n=16) from Nile tilapia, Catfish and Common carp, respectively. It was concluded that Nile fish are contaminated with many food poisoning bacteria.
