Seventy samples of market beef collected from meat stalls in and around Trichur town were processed for isolation of Salmonellae and Staphylococci following standard procedures. Sixty two isolates of Staphylococci, of which 49 coagulase positive suggestive of S. aureus were obtained. All Staphylococci were resistant to Penicillin and Ampicillin. A high rate of resistance was observed against Erythromycin, Streptomycin, Kanamycin, Terramycin and Chloromycetin. Coagulase positive characters and antibiotic resistance denote its importance in public health.
Only one isolate was identified as Salmonella satisfying the characters of the genus. It showed varying degree of resistance to different antibiotics.
Importance of hygienic practices, in slaughter houses, meat stalls, transport and storage of meat is stressed.
