Globally pork is the most widely produced and consumed animal protein source; it has specific characteristics, such as softness and flavour, besides being rich in essential nutrients. Considering the meat’s widespread commercialization, the present study aimed to verify the presence of total and/or thermotolerant coliforms in ten samples of fresh pork commercialized in the city of Campo Mourão-PR, Brazil, through the NMP technique. The results obtained in this work indicated the presence of total coliforms in 80% of the analyzed samples and thermotolerant coliforms in 40% of the analyzed samples, implying the decrease meat's microbiological quality. In this way, it was observed that it is necessary to be attentive to the quality of the meat commercialized in Campo Mourão-PR, leaving a pertinent warning to the governamental institutions responsable to this situation.
