“…The carriage rate of E. coli in feces of poultry which ranged from 45.8 % to 54.1 % in the current study is lower than the 75.5 % reported for apparently healthy layers and their environments in India [18] and the 78% reported in ducks by Adzitey et al [19]. Considerably lower prevalence of 39.4 % was however detected in broilers feces by Abhilasha and Gupta [20].…”

“…Foodborne infections still remain one of the major problems of public health worldwide. Data from different countries differ because food production, processing and distribution differ from country to country (Adzitey et al, 2012a). One of the major causes of foodborne infection is the consumption of meat and meat products contaminated with foodborne pathogens (Adzitey et al, Asian J. Poult.…”

Meat itself is an excellent source of protein for humans and an excellent source of nutrient for the growth of microbes, some of which are bacterial foodborne pathogens (Public Health England, 2013;Warriss, 2000).…”

The study was conducted to determine the microbial quality of fresh (raw or uncooked) and smoked guinea fowl meats sold in the Bolgatanga Municipality of Ghana. Observations were also made to know the hygienic conditions under which guinea fowls are slaughtered and smoked. Guinea fowl meat samples were obtained from five different retail shops in the Bolgatanga Municipality. Twenty meat samples each (10 fresh and 10 smoked guinea fowl meats) were collected from five different retail shops. Collected samples were analyzed microbiologically using a modified procedure in the bacteriological analytical manual of the food and drugs administration-USA. Total aerobic count for the guinea fowl meats ranged from 3.63-6.19 log CFU cmG 2 ; so that, it was 3.99-6.19 log CFU cmG 2 for fresh guinea fowl meat in compared with smoked guinea fowl's bacteria load that ranged from 3.63-5.25 CFU cmG 2 (p<0.05). Fresh guinea fowl meat from Next Door (6.19 log CFU cmG 2) was the most contaminated meat sample and smoked guinea fowl meat from Speed Link (3.63 log CFU cmG 2) was the least contaminated meat sample. Bacterial species identified on the fresh and smoked guinea fowl meat samples were Staphylococcus spp., Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp. and Bacillus spp. Staphylococcus spp. and Bacillus spp., were the most common identified bacteria followed by Escherichia coli. Physical observation revealed that meat sellers were involved in unhygienic practices such as using of knives without sterilizing them, wearing of dirty aprons and clothes and busily conversing while smoking and selling meat. Generally the fresh guinea fowl meats had high microbial load than the smoked guinea fowl meats. Furthermore, fresh and smoked guinea fowl meat samples from Next Door were the most contaminated meat samples while fresh and smoked guinea fowl samples from Speed Link were the least contaminated meat samples. Staphylococcus spp., Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp. and Bacillus spp. were present in guinea fowl meats sold in the Bolgatanga Municipality.

This is the first report on the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from drinking water samples in Tamale Metropolis of Ghana. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using the disc diffusion method and the results interpreted using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. A total of 56 water sample Escherichia coli isolates were screened against nine different antibiotics. Overall, 37.90% of the Escherichia coli isolates were resistant, 12.90% were intermediate and 49.21% were susceptible. Resistance to vancomycin (94.64%) and erythromycin (85.71%) was high. Susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (94.64%), gentamicin (91.07%) and ceftrioxine (89.29%) was also high. A relatively higher percentage of the water sample Escherichia coli isolates exhibited intermediate resistance to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid (50%). The Escherichia coli isolates also exhibited 24 antibiotic resistant patterns with the pattern E-VA (erythromycin-vancomycin) and SXT-E-VA-TE (Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-erythromycin-vancomycin-tetracycline) being the commonest (each exhibited by nine different isolates). Multiple antibiotic index (MAR index) ranged from 0.11-0.56. Resistance to five (MAR index of 0.56) and four (MAR index of 0.44) different antibiotics were exhibited by 8 and 21 isolates, respectively. A number of Escherichia coli isolated from different water sources did exhibit the same resistant pattern. This study revealed that Escherichia coli from drinking water sources in Tamale, Metropolis are resistant to some antibiotics. Therefore, the use of antibiotics in animal production and for human treatments in the Metropolis need to be checked and curbed to prevent more isolates from becoming resistant.
