A total of 100 random samples of ice-cream and yoghurt (50 of each) collected from different localities in Beni-Suef City, were examined for the occurrence of Y.enterocolitica. Three samples of ice-cream (6%) contained Y.enterocolitica, while the organism failed to recover from yoghurt samples. The isolated strains were tested for their antibiotics sensitivity, in which the tested strains were sensitive to all used antibiotics except Erythromycin. The import ance of Y.enterocolitica as a public health hazard was discussed.
