The incidence of yeast contaminated samples was 21 (84%), zero, and 17 (68%), while the mean value of total yeast count/ gram showerma was 5.3 x 104, zero and 3.6 x 10 for raw, cooked shawerma before addition of salad and cooked shawerma after addition of salad samples, respectively. The pathogenic yeasts isolated were Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus albidus, Trichosporon cutaneum, Trichosporon capitatum, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida kefyer and Torulopsis galberata.
