Abstract
A total of 90 random samples from frozen beef,poultry and fish (30 of each) were collected from different supermarkets at different localities inKafr-ElShiekhGovernorate.Thesampleswereexaminedfordetection of Aeromonas species using twodifferent selective media.Results obta-ined onAmpicillinDextrineAgarrevealedthatthelogmean of Aerom-onas count was 3.39, 4.23 and 5.10in beef,poultry and fish samples, respectively, while on modified Bile Irgasan Brillient Green Agar the logmeancountwas 2.15,2.10and3.38 in beef,poultryandfishsamples, respectively. Aeromonas Hydrophila, (46.67 %), (50 %) and (60 %), respectively , in beef , poultry and fish followed by  Aeromonas Sobria (30.0%),(33.3%),(23.33%), (16.7%) and (16.7%) and (23.3%), respe-ctively,in beef,poultry and fish .The lower incidences were for Aerom-onas Caviae,in beef,poultryand fish samples .The obtained results and the public health significance for these organisms were discussed.
