Pseudomonas fragi, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas lundensis were the prevalent species present at spoilage time.
Pseudomonas isolates with different enzymes demonstrated phenotypic variability.
Pseudomonas grouped into a high number of RAPD types, indicating genetic variability.
Pseudomonas associated with poultry spoilage from different samples with the same RAPD type suggests a similar origin.
