| Abstract | ||||
| Food safety and public health are greatly concerned about food-borne diseases. One of the food poisoning cases that causes the most economic damage worldwide is caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Listeria monocytogenes has a major effect on the general public's health as well as the economy. There is evidence linking L. monocytogenes to animal cases of clinical listeriosis. The total colony count and Staphylococcus count of the beef meat product under investigation were the goals of this investigation. Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes were found to be prevalent in beef meat products. From different supermarkets in the study area, a total no. of 100 randomly collected samples of processed meat products (25 of each). minced meat, kofta, burger and sausage were among the samples. Listeria monocytogenes and S. aureus were isolated and identified by culture of the samples using conventional cultural procedures. burger, sausage, kofta, and minced meat all included S. aureus at percentages of 44%, 36%, 40%, and 32%, respectively. Listeria monocytogenes was identified from minced meat, kofta, burger and sausage, with relative incidences of 12%, 8%, 16%, and 4% | ||||
