  ABSTRACT: This study has determined the portage of bacteria responsible for foodborne illness in the school canteen staff. 336 samples taken on the nose, mouth and hands were collected. Microbiological analyses were realized and several pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated from the vendors: Staphylococcus aureus (26/122), sulphite-reducing clostridia (14/122) and Escherichia coli (10/122). The food vendors in the school canteen may be the vectors of germs that cause food poisoning among young students.
