  • Abstract
    Shrimps sold in local markets could be microbiologically spoiled intrinsically or extrinsically. Present study attempted to detect the frequency of such microorganisms in shrimps collected from local markets of Dhaka city. A total of 7 categories of shrimp samples were studied. All of them were found to be contaminated with Staphylococcus spp., Aeromonas spp., Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Shigella spp. ranged from 1.5×10⁴ to.7.9×10⁸ cfu/g with a comparatively higher frequency of Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Aeromonas spp. Study of antibiogram revealed multi-drug resistance of most of the isolates. No antimicrobial activity was detected.
