Abstract

Coliform organisms (167) isolated from black pepper, dry-ginger, coriander, fennel, red chillies, cumin, garlic, fenugreek, turmeric, mustard, tea-masala, and curry powder were subjected to detailed biochemical examinations. Of these, 129 strains have been classified as Escherichia coli (10 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae (41), Klebsiella ozaenae (6), Enterobacter hefniae (5), Enterobacter liquefaciens (6) and Pectobacterium (42). Pectobacterium and K. pneumoniae predominated. Isolates of Escherichia coli have been serologically typed.
