摘要：The present study was done to investigate the microbiological quality of indigenous Newari meat products (i.e. Choyla and Kachela) of Kathmandu Valley. The mean total aerobic plate count and total coliform count was carried out by pour plate technique. Isolated organisms were identified by various biochemical tests. The mean total aerobic plate count of Choyla and Kachela ranged upto 6.38 and 6.54 log cfu/g respectively. The mean total coliform count of Choyla and Kachela ranged upto 5.25 and 5.82 log cfu/g respectively. Occurrence of organisms isolated from Choyla was; Coliform (93%), Staphylococcus aureus (75%), Salmonella Typhi (12%), Salmonella Paratyphi A (5%) and Shigella (3%). Likewise, occurrence of organisms isolated from Kachela was; Coliforms (97%), Staphylococcus aureus (86.66%), Salmonella Typhi (15%), Salmonella Paratyphi A (8%) and Shigella (7%). High microbial load and the potent human pathogens isolated from these meat products indicate potential risk of food borne diseases.
