ABSTRACT

This work aimed at evaluating the bacterial profile of suya meat in Owerri metropolis. Twenty (20) skewers of suya meat in Owerri metropolis (2 from each source) were collected randomly and analyzed microbiologically and the isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus species, Pseudomonas through some standard microbiological tests for identification. The most frequently isolated organisms were Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas. The total viable bacterial counts ranged from 1.9x10^3- 3.8x10^3 cfu/g whereas, total coliform count ranged from 1.1x10^3-3.0x10^3 cfu/g on Nutrient agar and MacConkey agar  respectively. The result revealed that the hygienic condition of the meat was below acceptable standard for human consumption.
