Abstract

Fifty samples of daily dishes (26 samples of croquettes, 10 of fried fish, 5 of hamburger steaks, 5 of meat balls and 4 of minced meat cutlets) kept hot in heating cabinets were used for a bacterial survey. Coliforms were detected in two of these foods (isolation rate 4.0%). Forty-eight samples of these foods (96%) were contaminated by Bacillus species, especially Bacillus licheniformis, B. subtilis, and B. coagulans.
