Abstract
Penetration of proteus through shell membranes and egg contents were studied at different temperatures of 4 and 25°C and under a limited humidity level of 85-88%. Proteus cells survived on egg shell for 24 days and reached the yolk within six days and within twenty-four days at 4°C. The significance of these findings in egg spoilage and storing conditions have been discussed.
