| Forty random kareish cheese samples were examined microbiologically. The average values of aerobic colony, psycrotrophic, enterobacteriacae, yeast, mould, enterococci, coliform and staphylococci counts were 2.6 X 10°; 5.4 X 10'; 8.9 X10'; 2.5 X 10'; 3.9 X 10°; 3.0 X 10'; 4.1 X 10'; and 9.3 X 10' with incidence percentages of 100, 91.4, 87.0, 80, 35, 87.5, 80 and 42.5 of examined cheese samples, respectively. Eschericia Coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Ent. cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Citrobacter diversus and K. pneumoniaee were found in 47.5%, 10%, 7.5%, 7.5%, 5% and 2.5% of examined cheese samples, respectively while coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 20% of samples examined.
