5th International Food Safety Conference Damanhour University Saturday, 13th October 2018 Incidence of Spore Forming Bacteria in Bouillon and Consommés Basma M. Saleh; Abdelrahman, A. H. and Elharouny. S.M Department of Food Hygiene, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Suez Canal University Abstract A total of 100 Bouillon cube samples, (40 Chicken, 40 Beef and 20 Lamb) were collected from different supermarkets in their original packages (from one to 8 cubes/Package) and subjected to estimate the incidence of Aerobic spore forming Bacillus species in the examined chicken, beef and lamb Bouillon and Consommé. The incidence was (40%), (60%) and (40%) in the examined samples respectively. The Minimum, Maximum and the mean values of Aerobic spore forming count in examined chicken ,beef and lamb Bouillon and Consommés samples were 10 , 8 x103 and 2.5 x103 ± 1 x103 ; 10 , 5 x104 and 5.0 x103 ± 5 x102 ; 10 , 15 x102 and 2.0 x102 ± 1 x10 , respectively. 11 strains of Bacillus spp. could be identified in both chicken and beef cubes (B. cereus, B. megatrium, B. circulans, B. coagulans, B. licheniformis, B. pumilus, B. subtilis, B.sphaericus, B. circulans, B. stearothermophilus and B.brevis), while only 7 strains of Bacillus spp. were identified in lamb cubes (B. circulans, B.subtilis, B. stearothermophilus, B. megatrium, B. coagulans, B. licheniformis and B.cereus). Incidence of pathogenic Bacillus cereus, B.subtilis and B.lichniformis in chicken, beef, lamb of Bouillon and Consommés samples were 58%, 25.8% 16.2% ; 25.8%, 48.8%, 25.8%; 43.5%,34.8%,21.7% respectively., the public health significances of the identified Bacillus species were discussed.
