Studies on klebsiella spp.in milk and some dairy products

One hundred random samples, 50 of raw milk and 25 each or kareish cheese and yoghurt, collected from different localities in Sharkia governorate, Egypt. A survey was undertaken to determine the incidence of coliforms spp. and prevalence of Klebsiella spp.from 60/0 to 220/0 in examined raw milk samples.All kareish cheese samples proved to be contaminated with coliforms by using (VRB/g). The coliform count was ranged from 4.1 x 105 to .6 X 1010 with a lean alue of 1. 9 r 109:r: 0.61 x109/ml. The highest frequency distribution (680/0) lied within the range 108 - 101°. While in case of (MPN/g) the level of coliform count detected in kareish cheese samples was ranged from 21.0x104to 5x109with a mean value of3.32 x 108± 2.04 x 108. The
