The aim of the study attempted for detection and isolation of V. cholerae and their probiotic study for safe production of meat. This research paper focuses on presence or absence of Vibrio cholerae in frozen meat identified in conventional way.

The isolates antibiogram revealed sensitive against vancomycine and amoxyclave.
