Abstract
Meat refers to animal flesh as food. It is a major constituent of the human diet and one of the main sources of protein, fats, minerals and vitamin. Raw meat is an ideal medium for bacteria growth, this is because of its high moisture contents, it’s richness in protein, favourable pH and other growth factors.
Twenty samples of raw meat were randomly sampled from Ago-Iwoye and Ijebu-Igbo Market in Ogun State, Nigeria and analyzed bacteriologically. Nutrient Agar was used for total viable bacterial count, MacConkey Agar for total coliform count, Eosin Methylene Blue agar for isolation of Escherichia coli and Mannitol Salt Agar for isolation of Staphylococcus aureus. Samples were serially diluted and plated on different media using pour plate method according to standard procedures.
The total viable bacterial count on the raw meat from Ago-Iwoye market ranged between 2.62 x 104 - 4.84 x 104 cfu/g and total coliform count ranged between 1.05 x 103 - 3.72 x 103 cfu/g while the raw meat from Ijebu-Igbo market ranged between 2.24 x 104 - 5.01 X 104 cfu/g and total coliform count ranged between 1.23 x 103 - 3.42 x l03 cfu/g. A total of 36 isolates belonging to nine genera include Klebsiella pneumoniae [6(16.7%)] which was the most predominant, followed by Enterobacter spp [5(13.9%)], Citrobacter freundii [5(13.9%)], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [4(11.1%)], Escherichia coli [4(11.1%)], Salmonella spp [4(11.1%)], Staphylococcus aureus [4(11.1%)], and Pseudomonas spp [3(8.3%)]. Proteus vulgaris [1(2.8%)] was less predominant. This study revealed that fresh meats are often contaminated with bacteria. The presence of higher number of pathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella and Escherichia coli among others, encountered in raw meat from conventional meat is alarming. The occurrence of these organisms in meat foods should receive particular attention, because their existence indicate public health hazard and give warning signal for the possible occurrence of food borne intoxication.
