| Abstract | ||
| A total of 240 broiler chicken were sampled for determination of the incidence of s. aureus during various stages of processing (30 samples ch) in a large poultry processing plant in Cairo. s. aureus could be recovered from boiler carcasses at all stages of processing in a percentage ranging from 10 % to 96. 6 %, which may be attributed to the bad condition of the birds at arrival to the plant and the neglected hygienic Measures adopted during processing 43.9% , 72.1% and 29.7 % of the isolates s.aures strains showed positive results s with coagulase, DNase, and TNase test respectively. The importance of contamination of broiler meat with s.aures, as well as the suggestive control measures to prevent contamination of Poultry with the organism were discussed. | ||
