Biotyping and isolation of B. cereus recovered from ready-to-eat chicken products
Page No. : 41-43
ABSTRACT
Study describes the biotyping and isolation of B. cereus from ready-to-eat chicken products (chicken patties and chicken rolls) in Srinagar city during two seasons viz., autumn and winter. A total of 120 ready-to-eat chicken products comprising 60 chicken patties and 60 chicken rolls were tested. Bacillus cereus strains were isolated from 25 chicken patties and 22 chicken rolls resulting in prevalence of 41.66% and 36.67%, respectively. The field isolates and the standard strains of Bacillus cereus had similar cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics. The biotypes recovered from the chicken patties and chicken rolls were biotypes 3, 4, 5 and 6.Keywords: Bacillus cereus, biotyping, chicken patties, chicken rolls
