Summary:During this research 159 samples of ready-to-eat and precooked food were examined for the detection of spp., , , coagulase-positive staphylococci and , bacterial count. All samples were negative for spp. and ; although a low count of coagulase-positive staphylococci (no. 5 samples) and (no. 3) was found. We proceeded with the identification of the isolates on every sample with high, moderate and low-count of , to better understand the microbial ecology. The species most frequently detected were spp. (29.62%), (20.37%) and (12.96%); other different species of were detected with a
