The bacteriological quality of dried sliced beef (kilishi) sampled from different retail outlets in Minna metropolis was determined in this study. A total of Eighty (80) Kilishi samples were collected using sterile aluminium foil from eight different locations within Minna metropolis, Niger State. The samples were analyzed using Pour Plate Method while Gram staining and Biochemical tests were carried out to identify the various isolates. The analyses revealed bacterial counts ranging from 2.0x104 to 3.6×105 CFU/g for all the samples. The organisms isolated include Bacillus subtilis 34(35.41%), Staphylococcus aureus 18(18.75%), Klebsiella sp 16(16.67%), Escherichia coli 12(12.50%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 10(10.42%) and Proteus sp 6(6.25%). The diversity and the high viable count of bacterial isolates observed in this study are alarming because of the public health implication. The study underscores the need for the strict enforcement of regulations regarding maintenance of public health to forestall potential outbreak of diseases among consumers.
