“…Significant growth those microorganisms can cause illness in human; others can cause spoilage of food (1). Commencement of enteric diseases (e.g., cholera, diarrhea, dysentery) in the developing countries principally occurs because of microbiologically contaminated food and water associated with unhygienic lifestyle (2,4). In Bangladesh, cholera is a major public health issue due to poor sanitary practices (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

Food additives are widely used to enhance the taste, texture, appearance and longevity of food items. The aim of this study is to determine the quality and antibacterial activity of different food additives and preservatives. In this study 8 categories of food additives were collected from different super shops in Dhaka city. Almost 90% samples were free from pathogenic microorganisms and a low number of total viable bacteria were found in all samples. Antibacterial activities of these samples were measured by agar diffusion method. Except food color, all remaining categories exhibited zone of inhibition against tested laboratory isolates between 8 mm and 22 mm in diameter. These findings indicate that adding food additives or preservatives in food item can reduce or prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Harmful effects of food additives to human health need to be evaluated before they are applied in food items. Stamford Journal of Microbiology, Vol.9(1) 2019: 23-26

“…In the field of food microbiology sector in Bangladesh, while lots of works regarding food safety and security issues have been addressed; the specific endogenous oxidative stress ( identification strategy of microbial contaminants in the milk and milk products is still in its infancy (1,8,14,26,(33)(34)(35)(36). Nevertheless, a few earlier researches reported that microbial contamination in milk and milk products could take place from three principal sources: inside the udder; the exterior of the udder and the surface of milk handling; and storage equipment (15,37).…”

While milk is well known to be a balanced diet with its high nutritional values, conversely milk and milk products may serve as potential substrate for the growth and proliferation of a range of microorganisms which in turn fatally influences mass public health. Current study attempted to examine the likelihood of microbial contamination within some common milk products consumed by the locality of the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. All samples exhibited the presence of bacterial and fungal contamination within a range of 10 2 -10 4 cfu/mL and 10 2 -10 3 cfu/mL, respectively. Among specific pathogens, Staphylococcus spp. was noticed to be the predominant ones and was recovered from 9 samples out of 20 samples in a range of 10 2 -10 3 cfu/mL. Klebsiella spp. and Vibrio spp. were found within 6 and 9 samples, respectively. Products were also found to be contaminated with Vibrio spp. Study of antibiotic susceptibility test revealed that all the pathogenic bacteria were resistant against most of the commonly used antibiotics of which several isolates showed multi-drug resistant (MDR) trait. Therefore, the presence of pathogenic bacteria with the drug-resistance property in tested milk and milk products overall imparted the necessity of maintaining standardized hygienic handling and processing means for better management of public health.
