Predominant psychrotrophic bacteria on fresh and aged ground beef and antelope were identified. In addition, psychrotrophic bacteria were enumerated. The predominant bacteria on ground beef and antelope were similar. A change in the predominant bacteria before and after aging was noted.
Total bacteria present on antelope, mule deer, and elk carcasses and in ground meat from these carcasses were determined. In addition to total aerobic plate counts, counts for coliforms, fecal coliforms, coagulase-positive staphylococci, and Salmonella spp. were made. Average total aerobic plate counts of ground game ranged from 0.7 to 53 million organisms per gram. Surface swabs showed the bacterial counts to increase greatly during the 2-week aging period. Large numbers of coliforms and fecal coliforms were found in game meat. Nevertheless, game meat contained very few coagulase-positive staphylococci and no Salmonella spp. were detected.
