“…The prevalence of Salmonella in foods was too high, in contrast to the previous studies in Ethiopia. For instance, Akafete and Haileleul (2011) and Woldemariam et al (2005) found that the prevalence of Salmonella from goat carcass swab was 8.3% at Modjo and 7.5% at Bishoftu, respectively. This difference could be due to differences in the hygienic and sanitary practices practiced in the food establishments at Jigjiga city.…”

Food-borne pathogens are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Changes in eating habits, mass catering, unsafe food storage conditions and poor hygiene practices are major contributing factors to food associated illnesses. In Ethiopia, the widespread habit of readyto-eat food consumption is potential cause of food borne illnesses. The present study aimed at investigating the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella species from readyto-eat foods from catering establishments in Jigjiga City and determining susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates. This study aimed to assess the ready-to-eat foods Salmonella prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern of the isolates. In total, various food samples were collected from 120 hotels and processed to detect Salmonella presence. The ready-to-eat food samples were collected and assessed bacteriologically for Salmonella strains. A total of 120 food samples were bacteriologically evaluated. After confirmation, 25 samples (20.8%) were positive to Salmonella. A total of 5 drug resistance patterns were detected among Salmonella isolates. Out of the 25 isolates 10 (40%) were resistant to three antibiotics, 8 (28%) of the isolates were resistant to 4 of the antibiotics tested, whereas 5 (20%) were resistant to two antibiotics, only 1 (4%) isolate was resistant to 1 antibiotic but 1 (4%) isolate was resistant to five antibiotics. The lack of public sanitary facilities can be another hurdle to keep the desirable hands hygiene of the vendors. In this study, it is reported that severity of the current scenario among the hotel worker hygiene and they are the unknowingly playing role in spread of diseases like Salmonellosis.

“…as a food pathogen should be investigated (18,19). Resistance of pathogens to the antibiotics used for the animals or human medicine is of major concern in clinical settings, and will be important in the future (15,19).…”

Background:The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance bacteria in meat-producing animals, especially ruminants, represents a major problem for human and veterinary medicine and also could increase the patients' morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The current study aimed to identify the occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli isolated from slaughtered ruminants in East-Azarbaijan province. Materials and Methods: In this study 160 samples (40 sheep, 40 goats and 80 cattle) were examined to isolate the enteric pathogens. The antibiotic resistance was determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using 12 antibiotics. Results: A total of one hundred and twenty bacteria were obtained and most of these isolates belonged to these following genera: Escherichia coli (25%), Proteus (18.8%), Salmonella spp. (8.8 %), Pseudomonas spp. (7.5%) and Yersinia spp. (6.3%). Eight (57.1%) of 14 Salmonella spp. isolates and 26 (65%) of 40 E. coli isolates showed resistance to more than four antibiotics, called multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR). Conclusions: Overall, the obtained results emphasize the need for a surveillance and monitoring system to emerge drug resistance in all pathogenic microorganisms in ruminant and other animals.

“…Gragg et al (2013) reported the prevalence of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotypes in cattle faeces among other sources in Mexico. Also, the occurrence of Salmonella at variable frequency from different samples obtained from goats (including faecal samples) in Ethiopia has been documented (Woldemariam et al, 2005). There is every tendency that faeces from the carcass, mixing with the meat, could contribute to the contamination of the meat.…”

In this study we investigated the antibiogramic profile of Salmonella species isolated from abattoir environment. A total of 72 samples were collected from three different stations [station A (the drainage), station B (stagnant water in potholes and floors around the abattoir) and station C (water used for washing the meat slaughtered at the abattoir)] between January and June 2017. All samples were processed and analysed using standard culturebased and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. The mean total heterotrophic bacteria population 10 10 9densities were: station A 2.0×10 ± 0.02 CFU/ml; station B 1.6×10 ± 0.10 CFU/ml and station C 3.9×10 ± 5 5 0.05 CFU/ml. The mean total salmonellae population density were 2.4×10 ± 0.14 CFU/ml,1.3×10 ± 0.15 4 CFU/ml, and 1.0×10 ± 0.06 CFU/ml for station A, station B and station C respectively. A total of 50 confirmed salmonellae, using PCR identification system, were subjected to antimicrobial profiling using the disc diffusion method. The resistance profile of the isolates revealed that 24 (48%) of the isolates were resistant to piperacillin, 50 (100%) to gentamycin, 50 (100%) were resistant to tetracycline, while 22 (44%) of the isolates were resistant to aztreonam. Multidrug resistance (MDR) profile of the isolates revealed that 22 (44%) of the isolates were resistant to piperacillin, gentamycin, tetracycline, and aztreonam belonging to four antimicrobial class. Our findings revealed that abattoir environments could be a potential reservoir of multi-antibiotic resistant Salmonella species.Keywords: Abattoir, Salmonellae, Antibiogramic Profile, Multi-Drug Resistance, Effluent ABSTRACT 389
