“…Presence of Methicillin-sensitive and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus in foods of animal origin sold at the street was also reported by Lozano et al (2016). Even in India, S. aureus was reported from street vended foods sold at Gangtok, Nainital and Tumkur cities (Kharel et al 2016;Sudeep Kumar et al 2017). However, the prevalence of MRSA in these foods has not been studied in detail.…”

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.

Background: Street vended foods contaminated with antibiotic resistant bacteria poses a great public health concern in developing countries like Bangladesh as foodborne diseases caused by such bacteria are difficult and sometimes impossible to treat. The aim of this review is to investigate the present scenario of the antibiotic resistance status of five selected Gram negative bacteria isolated from a variety of street vended foods of Bangladesh. Methodology: A methodical literature search was performed to identify relevant studies on Google Scholar, Science Direct and Research Gate using suitable keywords arranged in different manners to produce a meaningful search string. Weighted mean resistance was calculated to evaluate the resistance status from 20 studies selected through the PRISMA procedure. Results: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Vibrio spp. showed relatively low resistance towards imipenem and gentamicin, whereas the antibiotics of penicillins and macrolides classes listed in this review were mostly ineffective. Relatively high resistance was found against tetracycline, vancomycin, and rifampicin. Conclusion: A considerable number of bacterial isolates present in the SVF are resistant to most of the commonly used antibiotics. Therefore, there is an urgent need for public awareness along with a robust national action plan to combat antibiotic resistance, before the situation worsens.

The aim of the present study was to assess the microbial quality of five different types of food such as bread, pasta, rice with sauce, beans and milk sold in five localities of Burkina Faso. One hundred and one (101) samples were collected and microbial quality were assessed by evaluating the food hygiene indicators such as total aerobic mesophilic flora, total coliforms, thermotolerant coliforms, yeast and mould. Food safety indicators such as Escherichia coli , Salmonella , coagulase-positive staphylococci, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus were checked too. All samples were analyzed under ISO methods.
