Description:
The work was carried out using 48 samples of smoke-dried African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Twelve samples each were obtained from high level market, Wadata market, Wurukum Market and North bank market respectively. Different media (SDA, MSA, EMBA, N.A, MCA), gram reaction and biochemical tests were carried out to confirm the presence of the pathogenic bacteria. There was a strong correlation between the bacterial count and water activity of the fish for all bacterial isolates. The micro-organisms isolated were Aspergilus niger, Mucor spp, Salmonella spp, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus which were indications of contamination from surrounding environment.
