60 random samples of both sobia sold at shops and home made one (each 30 samples) were collected from juice shops and homes for microbiological examination to detect its hygienic quality. The mean values of total aerobic plate count were 1.01x 10⁵ and 6.9x10³ in the examined samples of marketable sobia and home made one, respectively. 7.79x10⁴ and 5.87x10² cfu/g were the average count of total yeast and molds count of the examined samples of sold sobia and home made one. While, Listeria monocytogenes incidence were 33.3 and 0 % in the sold sobia and home made one samples, respectively. In addition, Pseudomonas spp < /em>. was detected in percentage of 93.3 and 56.7% in the previously mentioned samples, respectively. True fecal type of E. coli O157:H7 could not be isolated in any of examined sample while other types of E. coli could be isolated (O128:H2, O111:H4, O126, O124, and O1:H7 and O119:H6 in percentage of 10, 6.7, 6.7, 3.3, 3.3 and 3.3 % respectively in the examined samples of sold sobia).Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter hafniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobacter diversus could be isolated and identified from examined samples of sold sobia and home made one.
