Determination of bacterial microbiological quality in Oreochromis niloticus and Coptodon rendalli tissue from Porce II and Porce III reservoirs, Antioquia – Colombia

In this sense, different genera of microorganisms associated with contamination (Arizmendi, 2018) and deterioration of fish have been reported, such as the presence of fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., which in fish muscle indicate direct fecal contamination due to poor techniqu...

Description
Summary:In this sense, different genera of microorganisms associated with contamination (Arizmendi, 2018) and deterioration of fish have been reported, such as the presence of fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., which in fish muscle indicate direct fecal contamination due to poor techniques in the fishing operation and/or its handling (Brugman et al., 2018; GAIA, 2011; Rodriguez et al., 2018). Colombian Technical Standard NTC 1443 of 2016 establishes E. coli, Sa,lmonella spp., Vibrio cholerae and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus as microbiological contamination indicators for whole fish, medallions, fillets, and pieces (refrigerated or frozen). [...]is the case of the Porce II and Porce III reservoirs, where the presence of exotic fish species allows the development of artisanal fishery, for self-consumption and commercialization, which is important and fundamental for the subsistence of rural populations that depend on it (Jimenez Lopera, 2020). [...]this study seeks to determine the bacterial microbiological quality in muscle tissue of O. niloticus and C. rendalli from Porce II and Porce III reservoirs using indicators of total coliforms, thermotolerant E. coli, coagulase positive S. aureus and Salmonella spp.
