Microbiological contributions to the knowledge of the microflora of some variety of commercialized meat

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the microflora of some meat varieties from young animals sold in different halls in the central market of Chișinau. Classical microbiological research methods were used with preparation and staining according to the Gram method, visualization by immersion microscopy and passage on common and special culture media. At the same time, the microflora on the surfaces and in the air of the sales halls of rabbit, veal and lamb meats was determined. Data were obtained that fall within the category of indices admitted for the delivery of the investigated meats for consumption by insignificant differentiations of indices in veal of 15 microbial cocci cells, compared to indices of 10 and 9 cocci cells in lamb and rabbit meats.
