Abstract
The degree of meat and work surfaces contamination by bacteria of the Proteus family was researched in the course of meat production. The results showed that 8,8 % of the poultry 7,8%. Of the fresh beef and 2,8% of the semipreserved and scalded sausages were contaminated immediately after the process of production. The results of smear tests from the production line showed that most bacteria from the Proteus family were in the sausage kitchen (14,6 %), on the pork production line (11 ,8 %), beef production line (10, 9 %) and to a lesser degree in other places of meat processing and production. The results obtained can contribute to improving overall system of control and protection of both the products and customer.
