To determine the prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in street vended ready-to-eat meats in Windhoek, Namibia, a total of 96 street vended ready to eat meat samples were evaluated. Prevalences of 42%, 52%, 15%, 6% and 83% were observed for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella and Enterobacteriaceae respectively, while the highest aerobic plate counts were 7.74 Log₁₀ cfu/g, 5.67 Log₁₀ cfu/g, 5.12 Log₁₀ cfu/g_, 4.56 Log₁₀ cfu/g, 3.3 Log₁₀ cfu/g, 5.75 Log₁₀ cfu/g respectively. Unsatisfactory microbial levels were 32% for aerobic plate count, 26% for Enterobacteriaceae, 35% for Escherichia coli, 11% for Listeria monocytogenes, 7% for Staphylococcus aureus and 6% for Shigella. Salmonella was detected in 11% and 40% of samples from two suburbs. The unsatisfactory microbiological quality of some ready-to-eat meats necessitates the provision of training on food safety and hygiene to street vendors for consumer protection.

为了确定纳米比亚温得和克街头贩卖即食肉中致病细菌的流行，共评估了96种街头贩卖即食肉样品。大肠杆菌，金黄色葡萄球菌，单核细胞增生性李斯特菌，志贺氏菌和肠杆菌科的患病率分别为42％，52％，15％，6％和83％，而有氧菌数最高的是7.74 Log ₁₀ cfu / g，5.67 Log ₁₀ cfu / g，5.12 Log ₁₀ cfu / g _， 4.56 Log ₁₀ cfu / g，3.3 Log ₁₀ cfu / g，5.75 Log ₁₀cfu / g。有氧平板计数不满意的微生物水平为32％，肠杆菌科为26％，大肠杆菌为35 ％，单核细胞增生李斯特菌为11 ％，金黄色葡萄球菌为7％，志贺氏菌为6％。在两个郊区的11％和40％的样本中检测到沙门氏菌。一些即食肉类的微生物质量不能令人满意，因此必须向街头摊贩提供食品安全和卫生方面的培训，以保护消费者。
