    (Academic and Scientific Research Institute Publication, 2010) Okereke, J. N.; Onyeneto, T. C.
    Bacteriological assessment of eighteen samples of different fruit juices consumed in parts of Anambra State was carried out using standard microbiological procedures. Both total heterotrophic bacteria count and total coliform counts were determined using 0.1ml of each seria11y diluted sample on nutrient and MacConkey agar plates respectively. Total elerolrophic bacteria count was of the order x I 04 cfu/ml while total coliform count was of the order x103 cfu/ml. Frequently isolated microorganisms were Laciobacilius spp, Bacillus spp, SJaphylococcus spp, Psuedomona.s spp and Micrococcus spp. Virtually all the sampled fruits juices had some degree of bacterial contamination
