Abstract
A spectrum of microflora in hard and semi-hard domestically produced cheeses was examined in this work. The study revealed that, alongside with lactobacteria, technically harmful microorganisms including aerobic/facultative anaerobic and mesophilic anaerobic bacteria, coliforms, yeasts, molds and S. aureus were present in the microflora of the cheeses. All tested cheeses met the organoleptic and sanitary-hygienic requirements of the current regulations despite of the fact that some of the samples contained technically harmful microorganisms.
 
Key words: hard and semi-hard cheeses, technically harmful microorganisms, quality of cheese
