The results revealed that high mean of total bacterial count, Psychrophilics count, total Coliform Staphylococcus aureus count were over that the Allowance limits in all sample of different ground beef marks. The Indian mark (high beef) recorded the highest mean of total bacterial count, total Coli form, Staphylococcus aureus count comparative with other marks of ground beef that were 220 × 106 - 170× 107, 145× 103 - 150 × 102, 195 × 103 - 335 × 104 cell//gram respectively with mean log 8.34-9.32 , 4.14-5.16 , 5.29-6.55 cell/gram respectively. The Iraqi ground beef samples (Al-Attar) recorded highest mean of psyhrophilic count comparative with other marks ground beef that were 316× 107- 140×105 cell/gram with mean log 7.14-9.49 cell/gram. The results of this study that all samples of different ground beef marks in Al-Gamhorya market recorded highest mean of all types of bacteria comparative with other market.
