摘要
In this study, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and聽Escherichia coli were investigated in a total of 200 traditional food samples sold in the province of Balikesir in Turkey. L.聽monocytogenes was detected in 5%of Mihalic cheese samples and 3%of Hosmerim dessert samples. Salmonella spp. was not detected in any of foods. The high prevalence and contamination levels of S.聽aureus were found in Mihalic cheese (100%and mean 2.69聽log聽CFU/g) and Hosmerim dessert (64%and mean 2聽log聽CFU/g) samples. E.聽coli was not found in Hosmerim dessert samples while聽the prevalence and contamination level of E.聽coli in Mihalic cheese samples were 43%(mean 1.23聽log聽CFU/g). The isolation of L.聽monocytogenes and other foodborne pathogens from Mihalic cheese and Hosmerim dessert samples indicates that these foods could create serious risk to the public health.
