Part 1 1. Organoleptic examination: Organoleptic examination revealed that there were not alteration in the normal organoleptic characters in all examined chicken meat products samples. 2-Bacteriological examination: The highest total S. aureus count (log cfu/g) was in chicken nuggets varying from 3.1 to 6.1 with a mean value of 5.88± 4.1 log cfu/g, followed by chicken liver with a range of 4.2 to 6.5 and a mean value of 5.28 ± 4.2 log cfu/g, then chicken fillet ranged from 3.3 to 6.5 with an average of 5.11 ± 4.3 log cfu/g, after that, chicken gizzard with a range of 3.2 to 6.3 and a mean value of 5.02 ± 3.5 log cfu/g and the lowest count was achieved in chicken luncheon (4.82 ±3.1 log cfu/g) and it ranged from 3.1 to 5.9. 3-The antibiotic sensitivity: In this study we investigate 12 antibiotics against S. aureus isolated in the current study and the result revealed that higher percentage of strains (>63%) were resistant against fucidic acid,. |
