Abstract
A study of the bacteria found growing on and spoiling beef in a meat shop in Ibadan is made. Those in the genera Micrococcus, Lactobacillus, Flavobacterium, and Pseudomonas were found to be the main spoilage organisms. Pseudomonas spp. were isolated under both warm and cold storage conditions and hence they constitute the major bacteria that will spoil stored meat.
