Notes:
The identification and antibiotic resistance of staphylococci and Enterobacrerinceae isolated from restructured and conventional steaks were determined. Five Sraphylococcus species, and seven species and three CDC Enteric Groups from the Family Enterobacteriaceae were identified. Sixty-seven percent of the 160 staphylococci were sensitive to the 13 antimicrobial agents tested. Antibiotic resistance was greater for staphylococci from restructured (46%) than from conventional (16%) steaks. Thirty-eight percent of the restructured and 15% of the conventional steak isolates were resistant to tetracycline. Sixty-three percent of the 97 Enterobacteriaccae were resistant to cephalothin, 10% were resistant to streptomycin and 11% were resistant to tetracycline. Less than 10% had multiple resistance.
