“…However, the microbial profile of roasted beef in Abuja showed 54% of S. aureus (Amaeze et al 2016). These results showed that the meat was unfit for consumption and indicated poor sanitary and processing/handling practices as it is typically observed in most Nigerian slaughterhouses and retail environments (Adetunji and Odetokun 2011;Odetokun et al 2020;Odetokun et al 2021a,b).…”

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a bacterium of public health importance. The zoonotic spread of this pathogen through animal-derived foods has been reported. This systematic literature review investigates the prevalence, distribution, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, and molecular characteristics of S. aureus in the food chain in Nigeria. Methods: A systematic search of online databases (Pub Med, Google Scholar, and Web of Science) for published articles from January 2002 to January 2022 was performed using the Prisma guideline. Results: Fifty articles were included from an initial 511 extracted documents. These papers included research carried out in 22 states across Nigeria. S. aureus detection in most studies was above the satisfactory level for foods (≥ 104CFU/g). The prevalence of S. aureus ranged from 1.3% in raw cow meat to 72.5% in fresh poultry meat. Most S. aureus isolates demonstrated multiple drug resistance patterns, especially being resistant to beta-lactams. There is a lack of information on the molecular typing of the S. aureus isolates. The different spa types of S. aureus isolated were t091, t314, t1476, and t4690, categorized into Multi-Locus-Sequence Types ST8, ST121, ST152, and ST789. Virulence genes detected include pvl, sea, see, spa, coa, edin, tsst, and hly. Certain AMR-encoding genes such as mecA, blaZ, fos, tet, and dfsr were detected. Factors contributing to the presence of S. aureus were reported as poor processing, poor sanitary conditions of the food processing units, inadequate storage units, and poor handling. Conclusion: We showed that S. aureus is a major food contaminant in Nigeria despite the lack of information on the molecular typing of strains from animal-derived food sources. There is a need to control S. aureus by targeting specific entry points based on the findings on risk factors and drivers of food contamination.

“…(2) attitudes to the practice of antimicrobial usage; (3) risk perception of AMR. A numeric scoring system [20][21][22][23] was computed from a five-point Likert scale [24] to assess these outcome variables. A reverse scoring pattern was used where strongly disagree was the highest correct answer, scored as five.…”

Assessing knowledge, attitudes, and risk perception of Nigerian broiler grow-out farmers (n = 152) to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with a five sectional purposive-structured-questionnaire: demographics; knowledge; attitudes; risk-perception; and response to regulation of antimicrobial practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression. Respondents’ knowledge score, in total, was lower than average, with all (100%) respondents having the understanding that antibiotics kill/reduce bacteria, most participants (>73%) believing that feeding antibiotics to broiler chickens is a necessity for weight gain, and many (>69%) thinking that no negative side-effects exist with the use of antibiotics. Poor attitude towards antimicrobial usage was prevalent (>63%) with unsatisfactory performance in most instruments: >60% of farmers reported using antimicrobials every week and still use antimicrobials when birds appear sick, and most (>84%) arbitrarily increase the drug dosages when used. However, a satisfactory performance score was reported (68%) in risk perception of AMR with >63% perceiving that inappropriate use of antibiotics is the main factor causing the emergence of resistant bacteria; >65.8% expressed that AMR in broiler chickens is not essential for public health, that AMR cannot develop from broiler bacteria diseases, that increasing the frequency of antimicrobial use cannot increase AMR in future, and that usage cannot lead to antibiotic residue in broiler-meat products leading to AMR development in human. None of the respondents were aware of any regulation for monitoring antimicrobial use. Significant factors associated with knowledge, attitudes, and risk perception of antimicrobial use and resistance among broiler grow-out farmers include marital status, farm category, education, educational specialization, sales target, growth duration/cycle, broiler stocking batch, and feed source. Identified gaps exist in AMR awareness among Nigerian broiler farmers and should be targeted through stakeholders’ participation in combatting AMR threats.

“…Understanding the resistance patterns of S. aureus isolated from milk and cheese in Ilorin, Nigeria, can contribute to the local and national efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. Ensuring the safety and quality of food products, including dairy, is critical for maintaining consumer confidence in the food supply chain (Odetokun et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;. When consumers have access to information about the prevalence of S. aureus and its susceptibility to antibiotics in milk and cheese, they can make more informed choices about their food consumption.…”

Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from marketed milk and cheese in Ilorin, Nigeria

The irrational use of drugs, especially antimicrobials as growth promoters, and in the management of disease conditions without proper diagnosis has led to a higher incidence of multidrug resistance/antimicrobial resistance, which is a leading cause of death both in humans and animals. Improper diagnosis, irrational use of drugs and lack of adherence to withdrawal periods are factors incriminated in the incidence of multidrug resistance pathogens. This study was aimed at examining the prevalence, isolation, and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus (S.) aureus in marketed milk and cheese in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional study design which involved sampling of milk and cheese (n = 340) from four markets (Gambari, Ojaoba, Sango and Ipata) in Ilorin metropolis, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was isolated using standard microbiological procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all positive isolates was done using the disk diffusion method. The prevalence of S. aureus was 3.5% in nono milk and 0.0% in cheese. The S. aureus isolated showed 100% resistance to ampicillin, ceftazidime and oxacillin and a high resistance rate to cefoxitin (91.7%), ceftriaxone (83.3%) and tetracycline (83.3%). Ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and azithromycin showed lower resistance (25%) to the tested S. aureus isolates. The S. aureus isolates displayed six different resistance patterns and were resistant to three or more antibiotics. Particularly, three isolates were pan-resistant. This study emphasizes the importance of good management and hygiene practices throughout the milk processing value chain to ensure the quality and safety of the final product for consumers.
