“…While, results were lower than those recorded by Mahmoud (2001), who recorded that the mean APC was 3.5x10 6 , and El-Shabasy, (2009), who recorded that the mean TEC, and TCC in her examined samples were 1.48x10 4 , and 6.4x10 4 cfu/g, respectively. Moreover, results were higher than those recorded by Danba et al (2014), and Budiati et al (2015) (2.24x10 3 , and 2.8x10 2 CFU/g for APC and TCC, respectively). The incidence of bacteriological detection of some pathogenic food poisoning bacteria and the incidence of hygienic acceptance of the examined samples were summarized in table (3).…”

Fish is a worldwide inexpensive source of protein especially in the developing countries like Egypt. This study aimed to bacteriologically evaluate fifty random samples of catfish collected from retail and supermarkets in Benha city, Qalubiya governorate, Egypt. Results revealed that the mean values of aerobic plate count (APC), total enterobacteriaceae, and total coliforms counts were 9.74×10 5 , 3.25×10 3 and 2.35×10 3 CFU/g, respectively. Escherichia coli, Salmonellae, and Yarsenia enterocolitica were detected in 18, 6, and 10% of examined samples, respectively, which went in further serological identification. This study indicated that the hygienic status of raw catfish is strongly related to source of collection, conditions of storage and handling, and recommended following proper hygienic properties of rearing, transportation, storage and handling African catfish Bacteriological evaluation Benha city

“…Escherichia coli are regarded as commensal microflora in several living organisms including humans, animals and the African Catfish (14,15). The presence of E. coli is also utilised as an indicator organism to monitor for faecal contamination of foods.…”

“…Amande and Nwaka observed a 42% prevalence of E. coli in ACF harvested from ponds in Uyo, South-South Nigeria (16). Danba and co-workers obtained a prevalence of 54.27% in Kano, North-West, Nigeria (14). Studies in Ekiti, South-West Nigeria recorded 25.8% (17).…”

“…However, it may also signify that fish farmers in our study area pay closer attention to hygiene and their source of water for aquaculture. Fish obtained directly from ponds are also likely to have a higher load of microorganisms resulting from poor management, poor sanitary conditions in the farms and substandard hygiene practices associated with many artificial ponds especially in developing countries (14). These practices provide favourable conditions for bacteria reproduction and development (14).…”

Background: There are increasing reports of food safety issues associated with intensive production of fish which increase the chances of disease outbreaks from stressful growth conditions accompanying mass production and presence of bacterial pathogens. Methodology: Two hundred gastrointestinal tract (GIT) samples from two hundred African Cat Fish (Clarias glariepinus) were assessed for the presence of enteric Escherichia coli species including E. coli 0157, Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) which are traditionally associated with infantile gastroenteritis. The antibiotic resistance profile and Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Index (MARI) for these isolates were determined. The serogrouping of the E. coli isolates was done using E. coli agglutinating sera (Oxoid) and E. coli 0157 latex reagent (Oxoid). Antibiotic susceptibility was determined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results: A total of 35 (17.5%) E. coli isolates were recovered from the fish intestines among which 9 (25.7%) were EPEC and 2 (5.7%) were EIEC. No E. coli 0157 strain was recovered. Thirty-three (94.0%) isolates had a MARI greater than 0.2. Antibiotic resistance to cefoxitin and amoxicillinclavulanic acid were 77.1% and 74.3% respectively. All isolates were susceptible to meropenem and amikacin but all EPEC and EIEC isolates were AmpC (resistance to all penicillins, cephalosporins and beta lactamase inhibitors) positive. Conclusion: The isolation of EPEC and EIEC which can cause fatal gastroenteritis coupled with high MARI among isolates in this study represents a public health concern. Strict monitoring of administration of antibiotics in aquaculture is recommended.

“…In many countries, fishes are consumed and are considered to be a good source of dietary protein [1]. Fish and fish products are important not only from a nutritional point of view, but also as an item of international trade and foreign exchange earner for a number of countries in the world [2]. The fisheries and aquaculture sector significantly expanded in the past decades and total production, trade and consumption reached an all-time record of 179 million tons in 2018 [3].…”
