ABSTRACT
The milk has an excellent nutritional value, but under poor hygienic conditions can be a disseminator of pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. This study aimed to quantify S. aureus in informally marketed milk in Bom Jesus, Piaui. Were acquired 25 samples at different points of sale, which were sent to the Food Microbiology Laboratory of UFPI in Bom Jesus-PI. Aliquots (1mL) were inoculated from 10-1 to 10-3 dilutions in Petrifilm Staph Express plates (3M Brazil Ltda.). The violet red colonies were subjected to application of Petrifilm Staph Express Disks for confirmation. They observed colonies of Staphylococcus aureus in all samples. The average score was 4.8 x 105 CFU / mL. It is concluded that the informally marketed milk has microbial contamination and consumption in raw form is risk to public health, the possible transmission of pathogens, requiring the adoption of corrective measures.(AU)

The quality of ground beef results of sanitary conditions in the entire production chain, and preventive care should include transport, storage, handling, exposure and preparation of meat. This study evaluated the hygienic conditions of bovine ground beef sold in Bom Jesus-IP, through the molds and yeasts count. Were bought 30 samples of ground beef cattle in different establishments of the Bom Jesus-PI. Samples were taken to the Food Microbiology Laboratory - Campus of Bom Jesus (UFPI). Aliquots were inoculated in potato dextrose agar for incubation at 28° C / seven days. Grew molds in 14 samples, with scores ranging from 2.0 x 101 to 2.5 x 105 CFU /g. We conclude that the hygienic conditions of obtaining meat are precarious and steps should be taken to improve the slaughter and product quality.(AU)

Meat is a great medium for the growth of microorganisms and may be responsible for transmission of pathogenic bacteria to man. Among its products, ground beef has highlighted to be a low-cost product and easy to prepare, however, that food is a great culture medium due to factors that favor the multiplication of microorganisms that can cause infections. This study evaluated the sanitary conditions of ground beef sold in Bom Jesus, PI, by counting of mesophilic aerobic bacteria. It was concluded that the released ground beef in Bom Jesus-PI, is produced under unsatisfactory higienic conditions and their consumption may pose a risk to consumer health.(AU)
