One hundred samples of imported Brazilian frozen meat (50 frozen cubic meat and 50 minced meat) were collected from different supermarkets in El-Menoufia Governorate, Egypt to be examined bacteriologically for detection of Pseudomonas species. The incidence of Pseudomonas species were (35/50) 70% in frozen cubic meat. While, the incidence of such organism in the examined frozen minced meat samples was 80% (40/50). Psychrotrophic bacterial count in the examined frozen cubic meat ranged from 6 x 10 2 to 1.9 x 10 5 with mean value 2.24 x 10 4 cfu/g. In addition, Psychrotrophic bacterial count in frozen minced meat ranged from 7 x 10 2 to 9 x 10 5 with mean value 1.7 x 10 5 cfu/g. The incidence of identified Pseudomonas species (number and percentages) detected in the examined samples of frozen meat represented by Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescence, Ps. diminuta, Ps putida and Ps. fragi were 15(30%), 40(80%), 8(16%), 5(10%) and 4(8%), respectively. Regarding the minced meat samples the incidence of identified Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescence, Ps. diminuta, Ps. putida, Ps. fragi were 20(40%), 45(90%), 5(10%), 7(14%) and 8(16%), respectively. The Pseudomonas species were resistant to Oxacillin. They were sensitive to Gentamycin except Ps. fluorescence. PCR is rapid and reliable tool for identification of different bacterial species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
