Bacteriological quality of fresh fish, Catfish (Pseudoplatystoma sp.) and Red Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.), as marketed in the municipality of El Colegio, Cundinamarca (Colombia) In the municipality of El Colegio, Cundinamarca (Colombia) the need for regular checkson good manufacturing practices that reduce the degree of contamination that may be occurring in the fresh fish outlets was observed. Bacteriological analysis allowed to confirm the absence of Salmonella sp, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Vibrio cholerae pathogens, contrasting to the presence in a high rate of other enterobacteria, related mostly with the water from which fish comes, such as C. amalonaticus and C. freundii in 30% of the samples, K. oxytoca, E. cloacae, and E. tarda on a 10% respectively. In Red Tilapia, K. oxytoca, K. ozaenae, E. tarda, P. mirabilis were isolated with a 20% respectively, and V. metschnikoviiin 10%. In large quantities, these microorganisms can pose a risk to public health.
