100 body swabs were taken from the exterior surfaces of 50 carcasses (2 swabs from each carcass) produced in the different abattoirs in the vicinity of Gharbia and Alexandria Provinces. In addition 40 swabs were collected from internal sewers inside such abattoirs for investigat ing food poisoning bacteria. Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella newport were isolated from meat at a rate of 2,2 and 4% respectively. The same bacteria were also isolated from sewer swabs at a rate of 10,5 and 5% respectively. Staphylococcus aureus were detected in 75% of sewer swabs and in 10% of meat carcasses swabs. Moreover, E.coli were isolated at a rate of 80% and 100% from meat carcasses and sewers swabs respect ively. Suggested hygienic measures should be undertaken to prevent contamin ation of meat and environment.
