Abstract :
Pathogenic bacteria from the hands of food handlers and the food were isolated to determine the contamination potential of enterobacteriacea in some common food consumed at different selling points in Sa?adatu Rimi College of Education Kano State. 50 food samples were collected from the area under study which include, rice and beans, Boiled moringer leafs, boiled maize, roasted meat, salted groundnut, boiled cassava, Danwake and Gurasa among others. It shows that Staphylococcus aureaus and Escherichia coli are the predominant species found in all the samples analyzed. Proper personal hygiene and other source of contamination need to be taken care in order to prevent contamination of food among food sellers.
