The objective of this study is to identify the physicochemical and bacteriological characteristics of Algerian traditional cheeses namely Klila and Jben collected from southwestern of Algeria and their impact on public health. The physicochemical and microbiological analyses of the samples allowed having an overview of the quality of these traditional dairy products. The macroscopic and microscopic examinations and biochemical testing of isolates helped to identify pathogenic strains namely Salmonella sp, Shigella sp and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that the pH of the samples was acid corresponding to high levels of lactic acid with a high rate of dry matter content for \'Klila\' which has allow humidity level. The bacteriological results showed a significant fecal contaminants rate namely fecal coliforms, with average values of 3,89 x105 and 1,4 x104cfu/g for Klila and Jben products respectively. The telluric contamination was also found with an estimated rate of 96 and 40% for Klila and Jben respectively. However, no sample has been contaminated by Salmonella sp or Shigella sp., but only one sample of Jben was contaminated by S. aureus with a charge of 0,3x103cfu/g, which may constitute a risk to consumer health
