Abstract A total of 75 samples of fish fillets of tilapia nilotica, Catfish and Bagrus bayad (25 feach) were collected randomly from different super markets for bacteriological and mycological evaluation. Bacteriological examination revealed that the mean values of total bacterial palate count, total psychrotrophic count, total Enterobacteriaceae count, total staphylococci count were 2.94 x 106 + 2.67 x 10scfu/g, 1.35 x 105 + 1.15 X 104cfu/g, 1.87 x 105 + 2.38 X 104 cfu/g, 1.98 x 105 + 3.5 x 104/g and 8 x 103 + 2 X 103 cfu/g. for Tilopia nilatica fillets, 3.48 x 106 + 5.51 x 105 cfu/g, 2.4 x 105 + 2.95 X 104 cfu/g, 2.32 x 105+2.3 x 104 cfu/g, 8.58 x 104+ 9.7 X 103 cfu/g and 1 x 104+ 2.04 x 103/g for Catfish fillets and 2.1 x 106 + 4.03 X 105, 1.58 X 105+1.67 XI04, 1.35 x 105+1.15 x 104, 1.08 x 105 +2.22 X 104 and 6.6 x 103 + 1.96 x 103/g. for Bagras bayad fillets, respectively. The incidence of Salmonella spp isolated from fish fillets samples was 4%, 16% and 0 for Tilapia nilotica, Catfish and Bagrus bayad, respectively. On the other hand, m,cological examination revealed that the mean values of total mould count were 3 x 103 + 1.53 x 1~ , 3 x io’ + 6.32 x 1~ cfu/g and 2 x loJ ±2.58 x 102 cfulg for Tilapia nilotica, Catfish and Bagrus bayad, Jlly-ctively. While, the mean values of total yeast count were 2 xloJ + S.77 x 102 cfu/g, 4 x 103 + 9.13 x 1~ cfu/g and 3.4 x io’ + 1.17 x 1~ cfulg. tOr Tilapia nilotica, Catfish and Bagrus bayad, respectively. .QS!llummary!!!!!!IU- 63 The mould and the yeast isolated from examined samples of Tilapia nilotica were Aspergillas niger (32%), Mucor spp (24%), Cladosporium spp (16%), candida spp (36%), ToruJopsin (8%) and RhodotoruJa (12%), Catfish were (64%), (32%), (12%), (44%), (16%) and (24%) and Bagrus bayed were (20%), (12%), (0%), (0%), (8%) and (0%), respectively. |
