      abstract = {This research is aimed at isolation and identification of bacteria associated with burukutu sold in Afikpo. Two samples of burukutu were randomly purchased from the sellers at two different joints in Enugu State and analyzed using standard microbiological methods The results of the analysis indicates that the aerobic plate count of the isolates from sample A and B indicates that sample A had a 3.3x102 cfu/ml while sample B had 4.3x102 cfu/ml. The total coliform count indicates that sample A 1.1X102 cfu/ml while sample B had 3.8x102cfu/g. This result indicates that the total coliform count was higher in Sample B (3.8x102 cfu/ml) also the total aerobic count shows that sample B equally had higher count of 4.3x102cfu/ml. The morphological and biochemical analysis of the isolates revealed the recovery of four different genera of bacteria namely: S. aureus, E. coli, Bacillus spp. and Salmonella spp. From the foregoing, there is need for improvement on personal hygiene of the producers and sellers of this beverage as most of the bacteria recovered are contaminants from skin, water, utensils and faecal matter of humans.},
