Abstract A total of one hundred and fifty random samples of meat products include [50 Hamburger samples, 50 Fresh sausage and 50 Luncheon from different shops and supermarkets in Cairo city for enumeration and isolation of Aerobic Spore Forming(A.S.F.) bacteria including Bacillus cereus and toxins production of isolated Bacillus cereus [used Bacillus cereus selective agar for isolation and identification of Bacillus cereus and Dextrose Casein Peptone agar for solation of others aerobic spore former] . Aerobic spore forming bacteria were isolated and identified as thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic spore forming bacteria and the obtained results could be summarized as follows :- The mean values of identified thermophilic aerobic spore forming bacteria counts per gram in the samples of Hamburger, Fresh sausage and Luncheon were 4.19 X 103,6.4 X 104 and 7.5Xl03 C.F.U. respectively; but the mean values of identified mesophilic aerobic spore fanning in Hamburger, Fresh sausage and Luncheon samples were 1.22XI05, 2.54 X 105 and 8 X 105 C.F.U. respectively. Wl111c the mean values of identified Bacillus cercus counts in the ned samples ()1’ Hamburger. Fresh sausage and Luncheon were (105, 1.2 X 1()6 and 4.5 X 105 C.F.U. respectively . The detected aerobic sporeforming bacteria, their frequencies and itages in Hambueger samples were Bacillus coagulans 6 times 5.3%, lIS alcalophilus one time 0.9%, Bacillus alvei 5 times 4.4%, Bacil- arinus 4 times 3.5% , Bacillus Ientimorbus one time 0.9%, Bacillus iformis 19 times 16.8%, Bacillus popilliae 2 times 1. 8% , Bacillus hermophilus 22 times 19.5% and Bacillus subtilis 29 times 25.7% ~ Fresh sausage were Bacillus coagulans 7 times 9.7% , Bacillus ihilus 9 times 12.5% , and Bacillus subtilis 32 times 44.5% , while icheon samples were Bacillus coagulans 13 times 10.9% , B. Alvei 3 2.5% , Bacillus azotoformans 3 times 2.5%, Bacillus marinus 3 2.5% , Bacillus lentimorbus one time 0.8%, Bacillus stearotherrno- 19 times 15.8% and Bacillus subtilis 53 times 44.2% . Bacillus cereus incidence in examined Hamburger, Fresh sausage uncheon samples were 48%, 180/0 and 50% respectively. The t frequencies of Bacillus cereus counts in Hamburger, Fresh sausage mcheon samples were 91.6% [103-105 colony per gram] ,88.8% CU[8[1’- 1 \! - -. \ ’ , - 1 I~” i, -l’’’’-’’ T”’f IH”’IT) !.
