is being served on holidays, wedding ceremony and also used as sources of income
of many households in Jimma zone. The aim of this study was to document the
microbiology of the product and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of LAB. Samples
of Keribo were collected from Jimma town and four of its districts. Keribo was
fermented in the laboratory following the traditional techniques for microbial
succession monitored at 6 h intervals. Finally, dominant LAB was evaluated for
their antibiotic susceptibility patterns against eight antibiotics. Samples
of Keribo from open markets and households in Jimma zone showed average Lactic
Acid Bacteria (LAB), Aerobic Mesophilic Bacteria (AMB), Aerobic Spore-formers
(ASF) and yeasts with mean counts of (log CFU mL-1) 2.70±2.07,
2.34±2.37, 4.96±2.80 and 2.01±0.60, respectively. The mean
counts of Enterobacteriaceae, staphylococci and moulds were below detectable
levels. The early stage was dominated by AMB and ASF. However, the mean counts
of LAB increased exponentially for the first 30 h and remain constant thereafter.
Leuconostoc mesenteroides, identified as the most dominant LAB, were
found to be susceptible to penicillin G, gentamicin, ampicilin, chloramphenicol,
amikacin, bacitracin and norfloxacin but resistant to vancomycin.]]>Abegaz, K., F. Beyene, T. Langsrud and A.J.
