dc.description.abstractThe survey was conducted on 50 unripened Van otlu cheese samples obtained in Van and Hakkari markets at retail level to determine the microbial characteristics with special emphasis on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. The results revealed that S. aureus and E coli were present in extremely high numbers, with a mean 6.10 and 3.68 log CFU/g, respectively. S. aureus was found in all samples ranging from 2.48 to 7.15 log CFU/g and was present in more than 5.0 x 10(5) CFU/g in 54% of the samples whereas E. coli was found in 62% of the samples. None of the samples contained E coli O157:H7; but 3 of the 50 samples had Salmonella spp. The results indicate that Van otlu cheese presents a potential hazard for public health; and the necessary precaution will have to be taken to improve the sanitary practices and cheese manufacturing technique.
