Abstract

To determine the enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus carriage rates and personal hygiene practices a total of 300 food workers participated, with 228 working in food businesses and 72 in hospital kitchens in Canakkale, Turkey. Participants completed a questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics, hygiene practices, and food safety. Hand/nasal swabs were collected from the food workers. Inoculums were seeded on Baird Parker Agar. Multiplex PCR and ELISA methods were used. The enterotoxigenic S. aureus carriage rate was 14% of food workers. Out of the 125 S. aureus strains, 42 (33.6%) were positive for one or more SE genes. Furthermore, sea, seb, sec, sed, and sea+sed were found in 16.0%, 6.4%, 9.6%, 6.4%, and 4.8% respectively. SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, and SEE were found at rates of 14.4%, 7.2%, 12.8%, 11.2%, and 20.8%. It was determined that as the education level of food workers increased, the S. aureus carrier rate decreased. The carrier rate was found to be higher in those who use gloves than those who do not. Hand carriers were determined more in nasal carriers (p

产肠毒素金黄色葡萄球菌的携带与食品工人的卫生习惯

为了确定产肠毒素的金黄色葡萄球菌携带率和个人卫生习惯，共有300名食品工人参与，其中228人在食品企业工作，72人在土耳其卡纳卡莱的医院厨房工作。参与者完成了一份关于社会人口特征、卫生习惯和食品安全的问卷调查。采集了食品工人的手/鼻拭子。将接种物接种在贝尔德-帕克琼脂上。采用多重PCR和ELISA方法。食品工人的肠毒素金黄色葡萄球菌携带率为14%。在125株金黄色葡萄球菌中，42株（33.6%）对一个或多个SE基因呈阳性。此外，sea、seb、sec、sed和sea+sed分别占16.0%、6.4%、9.6%、6.4%-4.8%。SEA、SEB、SEC、SED和SEE的检出率分别为14.4%、7.2%、12.8%、11.2%和20.8%。研究发现，使用手套的人的携带率高于不戴手套的人。手携带者在鼻携带者中的检出率更高（p
