Street foods are one of the important sources of foodborne infections and Staphylococcus aureus is an important infectious agent transmitted through various sources including street foods. The methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are of public health significance, hence the study was taken to assess the street foods as a source of MRSA, for which 430 street vended foods of animal origin (meat, milk, eggs and their products) and associated environmental samples were processed for isolation and characterization. A total of 52 (12.1%) S. aureus were isolated and resistant was observed to oxacillin (36.5%), cefoxitin (25%) and penicillin G (82.7%) by disc diffusion test. On genotypic screening, mecA and blaZ have detected in 17.3% and 69.2% isolates, respectively. The virulence typing identified nuc, coa, clfA, spA, FnbA and enterotoxin A (sea) genes in 100%, 96.2%, 30.8%, 55.8, 50% and 7.7% isolates, respectively. Genetic diversity among the isolates was observed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR with a D value of 0.77. The presence of virulent MRSA in street vended foods trigger the public health concern and emphasis to educate the consumers and street food vendors about quality and safety of such foods.

“…It also causes bacteremia which possibly leads to endocarditis osteomyelitis [6]. MRSA is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates because of the development of multidrug antibiotic resistance [7]. Resistance to methicillin is due to the presence of mecA gene, which is a part of a large cluster called staphylococcal cluster cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) [8].…”

There are major concerns about rising levels of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This is due to the difficulties in treating the infections which they cause and .the ease with which they spread in hospitals. This has necessitated the continuous search for alternative anti-MRSA agents. Efforts in this study was therefore directed at isolation of MRSA from the urine of patients and its susceptibility to the methanol extract and aqueous fraction of Bryophyllum pinnatum . Urine samples from the urine of patients were screened for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus using conventional microbiological methods. Confirmed isolates were screened for methicillin resistance by confirming their susceptibility or otherwise to 30µg cefoxitin. Detection of Mec A gene by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was further used to confirm some MRSA isolates. Conventional susceptibility testing methods were used to compare the activity of both methanol extract of Brophyllum pinnatum and its aqueous fraction on the MRSA isolates. Results obtained confirmed the susceptibility of the MRSA isolates to the extracts and that their activity was time dependent. It also showed that the extract was only moderately toxic with an LD50 of 866.03mg/kg body weight and that at the MIC and 2xMIC their activity was only bacteriostatic. Results obtained are intended to be used to prove that in the search for alternative anti- MRSA agents from natural sources, Bryophyllum pinnatum will be a possible candidate for further investigation.

Abstract: Multidrug resistant strains ofMoreover, this study revealed that the major MRSA isolates were from pus swabs (37.70%) followed by wound swabs (30.40%), hand swabs (8.90%), surgical wound swab (7.60%), axilla swabs (6.32%) and nasal swabs (10.12%).
