Eighty-two beef and chicken meat samples have been picked up from butcher's stores and restaurants in Cairo and Giza, Egypt. Escherichia coli was isolated from 15% of examined beef and chicken meat samples as 52%, 41%, 12% and 1% from raw beef, raw chickens, beef ready for consumption and chicken ready for consumption samples, respective. Salmonella enterica was detected from 1% from chicken meat samples ready for consumption only which constitute 5% from different meat samples. S.aureus was detected in 3% of cooked meat samples and 25%of raw chicken samples. Escherichia coli isolates were sensitive to Clindamycin and Rifampin (100%) and showed high resistance to Ciprofloxacin (78.9%). Salmonella enterica isolates were resistant to Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Cefotaxime, Clindamycin, Ciprofloxacin and Rifampin. S. aureus isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Vancomycin (100%) and showed high resistance to Azotreonam (100%). All Escherichia coli isolates and Salmonella enterica isolates were multidrug resistant phenotypically and 90% were ESBLs positiv ER -
