Identification, and Characterization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from Animal-Derived Foods in Hawassa and Yirgalem, Sidama Region, Ethiopia
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a significant foodborne pathogen with global public health implications. This study, conducted from December 2022 to July 2023 in Hawassa and Yirgalem, Sidama Region, Ethiopia, assessed the prevalence, molecular identification, and antimicrobial resistance of E. coli O157:H7 in animal-derived foods. A total of 298 samples including beef, raw milk, and fish were analyzed using culture methods, biochemical identification, and PCR. The overall prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 was 3.7%, with isolation rates of 6.25% in fish and 5.6% in beef; no isolates were found in milk samples (p = 0.036). Notably, meat from butcher shops exhibited a higher contamination rate (7.6%) compared to abattoir samples (3.4%), though this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.445). Among fish samples, Nile Tilapia had a higher isolation rate (8.1%) than African Catfish (3.7%), with fish skin showing greater contamination (8.6%) than muscle tissue (3.4%). All E. coli O157:H7 isolates were susceptible to most tested antibiotics; however, resistance was observed against amoxicillin (81.8%), streptomycin (45.5%), and clindamycin (100%). Additionally, 45.5% of isolates exhibited multidrug resistance with an multidrug resistance (MDR) index of 0.27, though none produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). These findings underscore the necessity for stringent hygiene practices and effective monitoring of animal-derived foods to mitigate public health risks.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Protection® (JFP) is an international, monthly scientific journal in the English language published by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP). JFP publishes research and review articles on all aspects of food protection and safety. Major emphases of JFP are placed on studies dealing with:
Tracking, detecting (including traditional, molecular, and real-time), inactivating, and controlling food-related hazards, including microorganisms (including antibiotic resistance), microbial (mycotoxins, seafood toxins) and non-microbial toxins (heavy metals, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, migrants from food packaging, and processing contaminants), allergens and pests (insects, rodents) in human food, pet food and animal feed throughout the food chain;
Microbiological food quality and traditional/novel methods to assay microbiological food quality;
Prevention of food-related hazards and food spoilage through food preservatives and thermal/non-thermal processes, including process validation;
Food fermentations and food-related probiotics;
Safe food handling practices during pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest, distribution and consumption, including food safety education for retailers, foodservice, and consumers;
Risk assessments for food-related hazards;
Economic impact of food-related hazards, foodborne illness, food loss, food spoilage, and adulterated foods;
Food fraud, food authentication, food defense, and foodborne disease outbreak investigations.
