Abstract:
Sixteen samples each of various beef parts including muscle, liver, kidney, heart, and intestines from a local market in Awka, Anambra State of Nigeria were analysed for presence of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus . A total of 80 meat samples was evaluated of which 54 samples or 67.5% had coagulase-positive staphylococci. The percentage of the various meat samples that had coagulase-positive staphylococci was 18.8% for muscle, 75% for liver, 68.8% for kidney, 75% for heart and 100% for intestinal samples. Muscle tissue had the lowest staphylococcal count log (1.65 - 2.97/g), whereas intestinal samples had the highest count (log 5.88 - 6.97g). The organ meats had staphylococcal counts of log 3.10 - 4.89/g for liver samples, log 3.27 - 4.75/g for kidney samples and log 3.15 - 4.90/g for heart samples.
