abstruct
A total of one hundred samples of meat products collected from different sanitation with different regions in Menofia governrorate. Samples collected were sausage,kofta,beef burger and luncheon (25 of each).The prevalence of Bacillus cereus was 44%, 36%, 32% and 24% , in examined ,sausage,kofta,beef burger and luncheon, respectively. B. cereus counts were 6.75×103 ± 0.81×104 , 4.88×103 ± 0.37×103 , 3.14×103 ± 1.65×103, 1.67×103 ± 0.13×103, log10CFU/g in examined sausage,kofta,beef burger and luncheon, respectively. The resistance of B.cereus was 100%,91.2% and 85.3%, for Kanamycin, Clindamycin and Penicillin , respectively. Meanwhile, the sensitivity obsereved for Meropenem and Gentamicin 32% and 27%,respectively. The multi antibiotic resistance (MAR) was ranged from 0.062 to 1. 34 strain were resistance to kanamycin,30 strain were resistance to both kanamycin and clindamycin and only 1 strain was resistance to all 16 antibiotic discs.
