randomly from different butcher shops; supermarkets and chicken slaughter shops in Mansoura city El-Dakahlia province Egypt for the presence of Yersinia spp. Overall Yersinia spp. was recovered from 8.5% of the examined samples. The isolation rate was dependent on the meat type and, these bacteria were isolated from fresh beef meat, imported frozen meat; locally frozen minced meat and raw chicken meat in percentage 6%, 12%, 10% and 6% respectively. The contamination rate of Y.enterocolitica in tested meats was 2-8%, except for fresh beef meat from which no Y. enterocolitica was recovered. Other species of Yersinia (Y intermedia; Y.Fredreksenii and Y.kristensenii) was isolated from 6% of all samples. Two of Y. enterocolitica isolates from imported frozen meat belonged to pathogenic biotype 4. Other Y enterococlitica isolates were regarded as environmental strains which belonged to biotype IA. Also the public health inportance of these organisms were discussed.
