BACTERIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BACILLUS CEREUS ISOLATES FROM POULTRY

摘要

A number of 80 samples of raw and processed poultry products were examined. Eighteen strains of B. cereus were isolated and bacteriological characterized. None of the tested isolates have grown at 4C, 14 strains grew at 7C and 17 at 10C too proving the ability to grow at low temperature. The average D90 value of the spores was 35.89 14.46 minutes. All the tested isolates were resistant at 9 of the 28 used antibiotics. Eleven antibiotics were effective against all B. cereus isolates
