Local markets refrigerators regard as source of food contamination which can cause food poisoning and disease occurrence , that because of these refrigerators have been opened by a huge number of customers so it be best way for microbial infections and disease transport between customer. In this study we collect 35 samples from different local markets refrigerators in Babylon province , result revealed that there are bacterial and fungal growth can isolate from inside refrigerator (shelves) and outside it ( door hand) , by using three culture media for bacterial isolation which are ( MSA –S S Agar- EMB) and ( SDA – PDA) for fungal isolation .Inside refrigerators revealed 31+ve samples for Staphylococcus aureus , 8+ve samples of Klebsiella , 6+ ve samples of Escherichia coli , 8+ ve samples of Shigella , 1+ ve sample of Salmonella ,while isolation fungi inside refrigerator on PDA were : Cladosporium (41.7%), Aspergillus niger (23.1%) , Penicillium sp.(16.6%) , Ulocladium (8.3%), Aspergillus flavus ( 6.5%) , Aspergillus nidulans(1.9%) finally Alternaria ( 1.9%) , isolation fungi on SDA were : Cladosporium (16.3%) , Penicillium sp.(30 %) , Aspergillus niger (28.1%) , Ulocladium (15.5%) , Aspergillus flavus ( 8.2%) , Alternaria (9%) finally Aspergillus fumigatus ( 9%) .Downloads
