Bacteriological Analysis and Public Health Impact of Broiler Meat: A Study on Nalitabari Paurosova, Sherpur, Bangladesh

Abstract

Broiler meat is one of the most important protein sources for Bangladeshi people. Food-borne diseases associated with the consumption of poultry meat and its processed products are of public health concern worldwide. An investigation was conducted to assess the bacteriological quality of poultry meat from some poultry farms and its health impact on consumer of Nalitabari paurosova, Sherpur district, Bangladesh. Total 15 samples were randomly selected and collected from different poultry farms on the basis of farms level and size. Bacteriological quality of the samples was assessed by following the standard microbiological methods. The health impact was evaluated with the help of semi-structured based questionnaire of 400 peoples. The average value of TVC and TCC were found as 4.3 × 10 6 CFU/g and 3.6 × 10 4 CFU/g respectively. In this study, the prevalence of fecal coliform was recorded as 33% and the presence of E. coli in 53% samples. The mean value of Salmonella spp. of meat samples was 4.6 × 10 3 CFU/g. No Shigella spp., Vibrio spp. and fungal species were detected in any sample. Some selected isolates were tested for their sensitivity against some commercially available common antibiotics used in Bangladesh. E. coli was 80% resistance to Ampicillin and 90% sensitive to Ciprofloxacin whereas Salmonella spp. showed 100% resistance to Ampicillin and 80% sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin. The antibacterial activity of renowned medicinal plant Azadirachta indica was also evaluated against some multidrug resistance bacteria. The inhibitory zone of both 30% methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Azadirachta indica was 12 mm and 12.3 mm, where 40% methanolic and ethanolic extracts were 14 mm and 16.3 mm against How to cite this paper: Faruque582Advances in Microbiology E. coli. The 40% ethanolic extract showed the better activity between them.The plant extract has no activity against Salmonella spp.. Awareness and health impact of broiler meat was determined among the people of different sectors on the basis of educational qualification, socio-economic condition, income source, broiler meat intake pattern, BMI range and food related diseases they have suffered. The peoples who eat broiler meat are much more prone to complicated diseases than the peoples who never eat it. So broiler meat intake pattern must be changed for better health. The widespread occurrence of Salmonella spp. and E. coli in poultry meat also reinforces the need for effective control measures.

Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Escherichia coli Isolated from Frozen Chicken Meat in Bangladesh

“…The present study reports the first comprehensive findings on the extent and distribution of ESBL-Ec and their antimicrobial resistance pattern including resistance genes in frozen chicken meat collected from almost all branded supershops located in five megacities of Bangladesh. This study showed the high prevalence (76.1%) of E. coli in frozen chicken meat compared with 49-53% prevalence in raw chicken meat as reported earlier in Bangladesh [30,31], 66.3% in India [32], 47.1% in Nepal [33], and 50.5% in Korea [34], and this may be a potential hazard to the consumers. The difference in the prevalence of E. coli may be attributed to several factors including the source of meat, sample number, isolation methods, possible cross-contamination during slaughtering, slaughterhouse sanitation, and personal hygiene, as well as other practices through to the food chain.…”

Multidrug Antimicrobial Resistance and Molecular Detection of mcr-1 Gene in Salmonella Species Isolated from Chicken

“…Previous studies have reported that Salmonella isolated from poultry in Bangladesh were sensitive to ciprofloxacin [ 37 , 42 , 43 ]. However, in the present study, Salmonella isolates were found to be susceptible to ampicillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, nitrofurantoin, imipenem and amikacin, as was previously reported [ 39 ].…”
