Aim of this investigation is to provide the general information about prevalence of members of Enterobacteriaceae in raw seafoods sold in fish markets in Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Studies were carried out to isolate and identify different bacterial species belongs to the family of Enterobacteriaceae in 448 seafood samples comprising Fishes (353), Prawns (49) and Cuttlefishes (46), collected during the period from January 2015 until May 2016. Bacterial isolates were characterized on specific culture media and further confirmed using API 20E Strips and identified by “api web”. Out of 448 samples analysed, 304 (67.85%) samples showed positive isolation of Enterobacteriaceae. Morganellamorganii showed highest prevalence (18.52%), followed by Proteussp (12.27%), Citrobactersp (8.03%), Enterobactersp (6.69%), Providenciasp (5.58%), Hafniaalvei (4.46%), Escherichia coli (4.24%), Klebsiellasp (2.90%), Rahnellaaquatilis (2%), Serratialiquefaciens (1.78%) and Pantoeaagglomerans (1.33%). The presence of these organisms in the fresh seafood samples showed that the source of contamination may be from environment, catching, unhygienic handling and transportation. Thus it is strongly recommended that the improvements in handling and processing are needed to minimize the prevalence of pathogenic bacteria by implementing preventive measures and application of appropriate procedures for hygiene practices to monitor the quality of raw seafoods.
