| Abstract | ||||
| Staphylococcus aureus count (log10 / g) in one hundered chicken samples after each of the different processing phases {defeathering, vent openers, removal of giblets, inside and outside washing, air chilling, wrapping and quick freezing} were 3.20, 3.85, 4.13, 3.24, 2.97, 3.43 with pathogenic microorganisms from different and 2.26, respectively. Mean while the incidence of coagulase positive enterotoxigenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus in such samples were 0%, 11.11%, 23.08%, 9.09%, 0%, 21.43% and 11.11%, respectively. More over, the count of staphylococcus aureus (log10/cm2) of the examined slaughterhouse equipments (scalding tank, plucker, neck slitler, vent openers, eviscerator/spoon, cropping machine and inspector table ware 2.09, 4.15, 4.19, 4.26, 4.63 4.97, 4.99 and 5.14, respectively. Whereas, the incidence of the enterotoxigenic coagulase positive strain of Staphylococcus aureus in such equipment. were 7.1%, 9.09%, 4.76%, 14.63% 18.60%, 22.91%, 29,03% and 27.77%, respectively. The public health importance of the isolated organisms was discussed. | ||||
