 ABSTRACT

The Poultry are quite often implicated as a major reservoir of human enteric pathogens, and several human infections were traced after consumption of food products of animal origin. Commensal and opportunistic Enterobacteriaceae present in the poultry gut can be indirectly transmitted to humans through the food chain. In this study a total 150 raw Poultry meat samples (poultry muscle) was collected in sterile test screw capped vials and immediately transferred to the laboratory at  4˚ C for processing and bacteriological investigation which include the morphological characterisation, culture characterisation, Biochemical test and genotypic confirmation. 17 (11.33%) samples out of 150 raw chicken samples were positive for Klebsiella species.

Keywords: Klebsiella, Food borne disease, Raw Poultry Meat.
