Abstract

A total of 150 samples of meat products (34 sausage, 35 beef burger, 39 minced meat and 42 luncheon samples) were collected randomly from different markets at Kafr-El-sheikh and El-Gharbiah governorates on Egypt .the samples were examined for isolation and identification of Salmonella Spp.. The PCR results showed that salmonella Spp were detected in 4 (11.8 %), 1(2.9%), 2 (5.1%) samples of examined sausage, beef burger and minced meat samples, respectively and not detected in luncheon samples. The isolated salmonellae were S. kentucky, S.saintpaul and S.tounouma in sausage samples, S.liverpool in beef burger samples and S. muenster and S. hadar in minced meat samples. These results showed that sausage, beef burger and minced meat might represent a source for salmonella as a food borne disease for human being.
