“…Such transfer can occur in three ways: by means of antibiotic residues in food, through the transfer of resistant food borne pathogens, or through the ingestion of resistant parts of the original food micro flora and resistance transfer to pathogenic microorganisms (Klein, 1999;Kruse & Sorum, 1994;Mayrhofer, Paulsen, Smulders, & Hilbert, 2004;Teuber, 1999).…”

Antimicrobial resistance profile of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw meat: A research for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a risk factor for patients in general population and particularly in immunocompromised patients. As a matter of fact, it can produce serious infections that may then evolve in septicaemia. However, transmission of MRSA from food to people can represent a serious problem only for immunocompromised people. Vancomycin is the elective antimicrobial commonly used in case of MRSA infection, but S. aureus strains with reduced sensibility to vancomycin are emerging worldwide. We isolated 42 strains of S. aureus from 176 samples of raw meat (poultry, pork and beef) during a one-year survey. Each strain was tested against twelve antimicrobial to verify antibiotic resistance. We found no evidence of methicillin-, teicoplanin-or vancomycin-resistance, but a lot of multiresistant microorganisms, i.e. resistant to three or more antibiotics. These results confirm the hypothesis that antibiotics resistance is present not only in nosocomial bacteria, but also in community environments microorganisms.

“…It, therefore, seems to be a regional occurring serotype. It is suggested that the emergence and spread of this multiresistant clone may have been caused by the increased use of antimicrobial agents against Salmonella Enteritidis in poultry production (Miko et al, 2002;Mayrhofer et al, 2004).…”

Salmonella serotype distribution in the Dutch broiler supply chain

2009

Salmonella serotype distribution can give insight in contamination routes and persistence along a production chain. Therefore, it is important to determine not only Salmonella prevalence but also to specify the serotypes involved at the different stages of the supply chain. For this purpose, data from a national monitoring program in the Netherlands were used to estimate the serotype distribution and to determine whether this distribution differs for the available sampling points in the broiler supply chain. Data covered the period from 2002 to 2005, all slaughterhouses (n = 22), and the following 6 sampling points: departure from hatchery, arrival at the farm, departure from the farm, arrival at the slaughterhouse, departure from the slaughterhouse, and end of processing. Furthermore, retail data for 2005 were used for comparison with slaughterhouse data. The following serotypes were followed throughout the chain: Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Paratyphi B var. Java (Salmonella Java), Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella Virchow, and Salmonella Mbandaka. Results showed that serotype distribution varied significantly throughout the supply chain (P < 0.05). Main differences were found at the farm and at the slaughterhouse (within one stage), and least differences were found between departure from one stage and arrival at the next stage. The most prominent result was the increase of Salmonella Java at farm level. This serotype remained the most prominent pathogen throughout the broiler supply chain up to the retail phase.

“…Microbes, including Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Clostridium spp., are among the bacteria that are of global public health concern because of the role they play in meat contamination and food-borne disease transmission. Many studies have reported that certain strains of these organisms are resistant to various antimicrobials (4,5,6,3,7).…”

Background: Several occupational diseases of multiple origins are encountered among abattoir workers. Presence of indicator microorganisms (coliforms) on hands of workers can be used a gauge for hygienic practices.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to assess the prevalence of E.coli and enterobacteriaceae among Halal abattoir workers in some government halal abattoirs of Malaysia. A total of one hundred and sixty-five hand swab samples were collected from workers of Halal abattoirs in Malaysia. The samples were subjected to microbiological analysis for characterisation and serotyping.Results: The results have shown that no Escherichia coli O157:H7 was isolated on the hands of abattoir workers before and after work. However, a total prevalence of 9.7% was recorded for all samples during work. For non-O157:H7, total prevalence of 33.3% during work and 13% after work were obtained. High prevalence was recorded in sample taken during work from Tampin, Jasin and Kemaman (100% each) while low prevalence where observed in Shah Alam, Banting and Ipoh (20% each).Conclusions: Based on the findings the hygienic practices of hand washing among the workers in few locations was found to be low especially after work.
