AB  - Freshly laid and stored domestic fowl eggs of 7, 14 and 21 
  days old, respectively were microbiologically analyzed for organisms on their 
  shells in the chalazae, albumen and yolks. All the egg parts were analyzed by 
  plating on nutrient, mcconkey and sabourands dextrose media, respectively. Nine 
  bacterial isolates which include <i>Salmonella</i> sp., <i>Escherichia coli</i>, 
  <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Enterobacter</i> sp., <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>, 
  <i>Alcaligene</i> sp., <i>Proteus vulgaris</i>, <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> 
  and <i>Serratia marcescenes</i> and five fungal genera namely; Aspergillus, 
  Penicillium, Cladosporium, Monilia and Rhizopus were isolated and identified 
  in all the samples. The bacterial load was in the range of 3.3x106-1.5x107 cfu 
  mL<sup>-1</sup> with the shell having the highest and the albumen the lowest 
  load, respectively. Result showed presence of pathogenic microbes in the samples 
  analyzed and it was concluded that domestic fowl eggs should not be consumed 
  raw.
