“…In Botswana, the presence of K. pneumonia in dried bush okra (Corchorus olitorius) and African spider herb (Cleome gynandra) were reported by Mpuchane and Gashe (1996). Researchers from Libya (Ghenghesh, Belhaj, El-Amin, El-Nefathi, & Zalmum, 2004) reported the presence of K. pneumonia in fruit juices sold in Tripoli. The presence of these bacteria in the street food samples indicate that a potential health risk exists and that crosscontamination to other ready to eat commodities sold by the street vendors is possible by these bacteria or other closely related pathogenic members.…”

A total of 78 samples of street foods from different states in Malaysia were examined for the presence of Klebsiella pneumonia. K. pneumonia contamination was recorded in 32% of the samples examined. The frequency of the K. pneumonia isolates containing plasmids was shown to be 48%. Susceptibility testing showed that all isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin (100%), erythromycin (100%), rifampicin (100%), streptomycin (96%) and sulfamethoxazole (80%), but susceptible to chloramphenicol. RAPD proved to be the most effective technique in discriminating the K. pneumonia isolates since dendrogram constructed using the combination of 4 primers could differentiate 25 isolates of K. pneumonia to 25 strains. This is the first report that revealed the occurrence of K. pneumonia in street foods sold in Malaysia.

“…Fruit juice drinks typically contain no less than 20% fruit juice. Fruit juices are becoming an important part of the modern diet in many communities (Ghenghesh et al, 2005). In some studies, fruit and juice intake was found to be associated with higher dietary status index in rural women (Knol andHaughton, 1998 andGhenghesh et al, 2005).…”

“…The microbial load in orange juice was reported as 1-5 log CFU/mL (Parish et al 1997, Parish 1998, Andres et al 2001, Pao et al, 2001). In Tripoli-Libya Ghenghesh et al (2005) reported that 19 samples of orange juice had total viable count of <1-1.1×10…”

Background: Herbal juices are gaining global attention due to their medicinal properties, nutritive and antioxidant activity. They are frequently consumed by the people of all age groups in the form of health drinks. However, many outbreaks of human infections have been reported to be associated with the consumption of contaminated herbal juices. Hence, microbial quality assessment of herbal juices is utmost important.Methods: The present study was undertaken to detect the existence of enteric pathogens as well as coliforms in the herbal juices sold at sport complex in Washim city area. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was also performed to evaluate the MDR status of the isolates.Results: The results showed that most of the herbal juices are contaminated with Salmonella, Shigella and Coliforms. The pathogens were found to be multiple drug resistant strains which pose an alarming threat for the consumers.Conclusions: Regular monitoring of the quality of herbal juices for human consumption is recommended to avoid disease outbreak.
