“…The percentage occurrence of Escherichia coli from air, water, soil, vegetable, and sewage was 24.71% in this study which is in line with 26.8% isolated among humans, chicken, and poultry environment as reported by Aworh et al (2020) and higher than 61.8% (Ugah & Udeani, 2020). Public health thread due to the fact that both intestinal and extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli have been isolated from soil, water, and air in the study earlier described by Shah et al (2018). Multi-Drug Resistant Escherichia coli is an example of antibiotic resistance which is responsible for life threatening infections.…”

The multidrug resistant member of Enterobacteriaceae is common causes of community related infections. A study on antibacterial resistance and phenotypic detection of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from environmental sources in Nasarawa state, Nigeria was carried out. A total of 400 samples comprised of air, water, soil, vegetable, and sewage were collected and 89 samples were multidrug resistant. Enterobacteriaceae were isolated and identified using commercial biochemical kit Eneterosystem 18R. The antibacterial susceptibility testing of Enterobacteriaceae isolates was carried out using the clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI). The phenotypic confirmation test of ESBL was carried out by double disc synergy test (DDST) method. The occurrence of multidrug resistant isolates shows that Escherichia coli (24.71%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.10%) find to be high while the occurrence of Proteus mirabilis and Citrobacter freundii (6.74%) were low. The Enterobacteriaceae isolates were more resistant to Cefuroxime, Cefexime, Amoxicillin Clavulanate and Imipenem/Cilastatin with percentage resistance ranges from 62.5%–100%. The occurrence of ESBL producers shows that Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.7%) and Shigella flexneri (57.14%) were found to be high while the occurrence of ESBL was low in Proteus mirabilis (20.0%). The Beta Lactam and gentamycin antibiotics were not effective against the MDR isolates and most of the isolates were ESBL producers.

“…The presence of E. coli can also indicate the presence of pathogenic E. coli in food products. Food contaminated by enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7 may cause severe illnesses to humans such as bloody diarrhea or hemolytic uremic syndrome even at low doses (10–100 cells) [25]. In this study, although only one sample (milk-based drink) was found to be contaminated by E. coli , the level of contamination was very high (>log 3 CFU/mL).…”

Improper handling, poor hygienic practices, and lack of environmental control affect the safety of street-vended beverages. The objective of this study is to determine the bacterial contamination level of three types of beverages (cordial-based drinks, milk-based drinks, fruit juices) sold by street vendors at Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. A total of 31 samples of beverages were analyzed to determine total viable count (TVC), total coliform, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus counts via the standard plate count method. The results showed that only 9.7% of the total samples were not contaminated with the tested microorganisms. All milk-based drink samples were positive for TVC and also had the highest average bacterial counts at 5.30 ± 1.11 log Colony Forming Unit/mL (CFU/mL). About 71% of the samples were contaminated with total coliform with the average readings ranging between 4.30 and 4.75 log CFU/mL, whereas 58.1% of the samples were positive with S. aureus, with fruit juices having the highest average reading (3.42 ± 1.15 log CFU/mL). Only one sample (milk-based drink) was E. coli positive. This study showed that the microbiological safety level of street-vended beverages in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur was average and needs to be improved. Provision of food safety education and adequate sanitary facilities at vending sites are suggested to increase the safety of food products.

“…E. coli is a gram-negative bacterium that is part of the intestinal microbiota. Symptoms are bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome with acute renal failure, thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura and even septicemia [ 60 , 61 , 62 ]. E. coli O157:H7 is one of the best-known serotypes to contain pathotypes that can cause food-borne infection in humans [ 46 ].…”

Biocontrol of Pathogen Microorganisms in Ripened Foods of Animal Origin

et al. 2023

Ripened foods of animal origin comprise meat products and dairy products, being transformed by the wild microbiota which populates the raw materials, generating highly appreciated products over the world. Together with this beneficial microbiota, both pathogenic and toxigenic microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, Escherichia coli, Candida spp., Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp., can contaminate these products and pose a risk for the consumers. Thus, effective strategies to hamper these hazards are required. Additionally, consumer demand for clean label products is increasing. Therefore, the manufacturing sector is seeking new efficient, natural, low-environmental impact and easy to apply strategies to counteract these microorganisms. This review gathers different approaches to maximize food safety and discusses the possibility of their being applied or the necessity of new evidence, mainly for validation in the manufacturing product and its sensory impact, before being implemented as preventative measures in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point programs.
