“…Sabon-Tasha had the highest TBC of 3×10 4 6 cfu/mls to 81.67×10 6 cfu/mls obtained by [4]. But however, it fell within the range of findings by [1], [8], [9], and [11] 4 cfu/mls and 5.0×10 4 to 1.79×10 5 cfu/mls, and. The high bacteria count therefore might be as a result of unclean water used in the preparation of the kunu, poor hygienic practice, exposing the kunun-zaki to dust and flies.…”

“…The high bacteria count therefore might be as a result of unclean water used in the preparation of the kunu, poor hygienic practice, exposing the kunun-zaki to dust and flies. Improper hand washing after going to the toilet during the preparation of the kunu can also lead to contamination [5], [9], [10]. The percentage of contamination in increasing order showed that Television had highest percentage of 20%, Sabon-Tasha 15%, Mararaban-rido 12.5%, Kujama 7.5% and the lowest was Narayi with 5.0%.…”

Two hundred samples of freshly formulated Kunun-zaki, a locally fermented non-alcoholic cereal beverages were obtained from local hawkers in five (5) different locations in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State, Nigeria and screened for enteric bacteria. They were analyzed using the Spread Plate Method. The pH of the samples ranged between 3.00 -7.50 and total bacterial count ranged between 2.0 × 10 4 -9.0×10 5 cfu/ml. The microorganisms recovered were Esherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis and Citrobacter freundii. The frequency of the occurrence of the isolated bacteria were: Citrobacter freundii 14 (58%) Esherichia coli 3 (13%) Proteus mirabilis 5 (21%)) and Proteus vulgaris 2 (8%). The percentage of contamination in each location is as follows: Television 20%, Sabon-Tasha 15%, Mararaban-rido 12.5%, Kujama 7.5%, and Narayi 5%. There was a significant difference in the rate of contamination (P > 0.05). The presence of these bacteria may be a serious health concern as these organisms are involved in causing various diseases. Therefore, hygienic measures should be taken in processing and handling of the product being sold to general public.

“…Similar results have been reported in previous studies, although with a higher percentage rate of incidence. For instance, Gyar et al [41] reported that 18 (72%) out of the total 25 Kunun-zaki samples examined in Keffi metropolis, Nigeria, were contaminated with S. aureus, whilst Braide et al [42] reported the recovery of S. aureus from 11 (69%) out of the 16 Kunun-zaki samples examined in Owerri, Nigeria. Aboh and Oladosu [43] reported a much lower incidence rate in Abuja, Nigeria (6 (14.6%) S. aureus positive samples out of the total 41 Kunun-zaki samples examined).…”

Kunun-zaki is an indigenous, fermented, non-alcoholic cereal-based beverage produced and consumed primarily in Northern Nigeria. Due to its high nutritional and moisture content, it provides an ideal environment for the growth of foodborne pathogens. This study determined the presence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) and Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producing Salmonella spp in Kunun-zaki sold in Umuahia metropolis, Nigeria. Out of the 40 Kunun-zaki samples examined, Salmonella spp was detected in 19 (47.5%), whereas S. aureus was detected in 22 (55%) of the samples. The total Salmonella count ranged from 1.90×105-9.70×106 (CFU/ml), whereas the total S. aureus count ranged from 3.40×104-7.50×106 (CFU/ml); these microbial counts do not conform to the standard limits of detectable microbes in ready-to-eat food samples as stipulated by the Center for Food Safety. All the isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing using the modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. On the one hand, most of the Salmonella spp were resistant to the beta-lactam class of antibiotics used (IMP 58%, MEM 90%, AMP 53%). On the other hand, the Salmonella isolates showed the highest sensitivities to ceftazidime (95%) and ofloxacin (90%). The S. aureus isolates revealed high susceptibility to ofloxacin (96%), and major resistance to oxacillin (41%) and the oxyimino-cephalosporin antibiotics used (CAZ 55%, CTR 41%). MRSA, VRSA and ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae are amongst the most critical multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. In this study, 26% of the Salmonella spp isolates were confirmed to be ESBL producers, whereas 41% of the isolates were MRSA, 23% were VRSA, and 68% were Vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA). Hence, the Kunun-zaki could constitute a reservoir for the dissemination of multidrug-resistant foodborne pathogens if not correctly quality controlled.
