| Abstract: | A close examination of the microbiological quality of the ice made and used in the local markets in Fortaleza, Brazil, revealed it to be of poor quality. Besides the common food spoilage organisms often encountered in sea foods, foodbourne pathogens (streptococcus, listeria and fecal coliforms) were also detected. Gramnegative bacilli/cococacilli outnumbered all other groups by representing 78% of the total 90 isolates. The remaining 12% included gram-positive non-spore forming rods and gram-positive cocci. |
