This study was designed to assess the bacteriological quality of locally processed sun-dried meat (Kilishi) sold at Katsina Metropolis. Kilishi samples obtained were serially diluted and dilution 104, 105, 106 was plated onto NA for enumeration of the total viable count. MA and SSA were used for the selective isolation of E. coli and Salmonella spp. The total viable count ranges from 1.2x104 to 7.0x105cfu/g. The bacterial isolates were identified as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. The bacteria with the highest frequency of occurrence (incidence) were Escherichia coli. The result of this study revealed that different pathogenic organisms are found in locally processed Kilishi. Their presence poses a great threat to consumers, however, Salmonella sp. is very important human pathogens and are unwanted in food products. Therefore, the need to educate local producers on hygienic practices, during food processing and slaughtering need to be addressed properly to avoid disease outbreaks....Preview Download Preview +Other Biological Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of role-play method on academic achievement of biology students in selected secondary schools in Kano metropolis»An investigation into the management and utilization of biological gardens in tertiary institution in Kano state»Isolation and identification of Helminth parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Awareness and preventive measures of HIV/AIDS among undergraduates in Isiala Ngwa south local government area»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Pourpartia birrea»A study of antibacterial activity of Zea Mays and Cymbopogan Citrasus on bacteria isolated from urine of pregnant women»Effects of some classes of insecticides Onclarias Gariepinus juveniles»An analysis of the conceptual knowledge of drug abuse among biology students»Availability and utilization of laboratory resources in teaching and learning biology in Enugu north local government area of Enugu state»Isolation and identification of helminthes parasites of public health importance from commercial aquaculture ponds water within Kano metropolitan»Assessment of seed extract of pignut Jatropha Curcas for the control of beans weevil Callosobruchus Maculatus»Survey of insect pest infestation of trees in Kano zoological garden»Bacteriological quality assessment of sundried meat (Kilishi) sold in Katsina metropolis»The incidence of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) among pregnant women attending Dr. Karima hospital Gusau, Zamfara state»Welfare profile of African catfish (Clarias Garipinus) exposed to senna occidentalis leaf powder
