“…This is in agreement with the report of Mude et al (2017), who showed 92.3% of isolates were multidrug resistant. Moreover, various authors (Bekele et al 2014;Iweriebor et al 2015;Atnafie et al 2017) from the country and abroad reported multidrug resistance patterns. Moreover, the present study revealed that the prevalence of multidrug resistant isolates was higher in milk and milk products (28.4%) as compared to meat (15.4%) samples.…”

Background: Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) have frequently been associated with food borne illness and are considered as most serious of known food borne pathogens leading to severe illnesses and high mortality rates in humans. Most of outbreaks were traced to raw meat and raw milk consumption, as well as to dairy products such as yogurt and cheese derived from raw milk. Results: Out of 200 samples examined, 40 (20%) and 7 (3.5%) of the samples were positive to E. coli and E. coli O157: H7 respectively. The highest isolation of E. coli was from cheese (40%), followed by raw milk (32%), yogurt (25.71%), beef (13.84%), and pasteurized milk (0%). Among E. coli O157:H7 isolates, the highest isolation was from raw milk (12%) followed by cheese (5.71%) and meat (3.07%). However, no E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from pasteurized milk and yogurt. Antibiotic susceptibility profile showed that E. coli was resistant for vancomycin (89.74%), ampicillin (76.92%) and streptomycin (69.23%). The analysis showed that, 92.5% of isolates showed multidrug resistance comprising 2-4 antimicrobials. Conclusion: The occurrence of E. coli O157:H7 and its multiple antibiotic resistant profiles shows a risk for public health and food safety as well as animal production. These findings stress the need for an integrated control of E. coli O157:H7 from farm production to consumption of food of animal origin.

“…Therefore, in a very short period of time, antibiotic resistance will appear. High prevalence of resistance against chloramphenicol in the E. coli O157:H7 strains of meat samples have been reported from Iran [10,22], USA [33], Turkey [28], UK [34] and Nigeria [35]. High differences of the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in the E. coli O157:H7 strains in different studies is due to the fact that maybe availability of antibiotics, their cost and even idea of veterinarian for antibiotic prescription are different in each region.…”

“…They showed that the highest prevalence rate was found in beef (13.32%), pork (6.90%), chicken (3.28%) and duck (2.54%). Bekele et al (2014) [28] reported that of 384 meat samples collected from Addis Ababa, 39 (10.2%) were positive to E. coli O157:H7. They reported that beef (13.30%), sheep (9.40%) and goat (7.80%) meat samples had the highest prevalence of E. coli O157:H7.…”

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the most dangerous zoonotic pathogens of meat. The present investigation was done to study the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of E. coli O157:H7 strains isolated from raw meat samples. A total of 458 meat samples were collected. Samples were cultured using what? After which sorbitol negative isolates were analyzed for rfbO157 and flicH7 genes. Thirty-six out of 458 meat samples were positive for sorbitol negative strains of E. coli (7.86%). All of the sorbitol negative strains were also positive for rfbO157 and flicH7 genes. Prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 strains were 7.86%. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in chicken meat was higher than the other samples (16.25%). The genes that encode resistance to ampicillin (CITM) (100%), gentamicin (aac(3)-IV) (94.44%) and tetracycline (tetA) (61.11%) had the highest prevalence. Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains from raw meat samples from ruminants and poultry had the highest resistance to ampicillin (100%), tetracycline (83.33%) and gentamicin (83.33%) respectively. Strains of antibiotic resistant E. coli 0157:H7 found in this present study are of public health importance.

In the present study, antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using the disc diffusion method and the results interpreted using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. A total of 45 Escherichia coli isolates were screened against nine different antibiotics. Overall, 34.57% of the Escherichia coli isolates were resistant, 7.16% were intermediate and 58.27% were susceptible. Resistance to vancomycin (88.89%) and erythromycin (68.89%) was high. Susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (95.56%), amoxycillin/clavulanic acid (86.67%), suphamethoxazole/ trimethoprim (82.22%) and gentamicin (75.56%) was also high. The Escherichia coli isolates also exhibited 25 antibiotic resistant patterns with the pattern VaE (vancomycin and erythromycin) and VaCCro (vancomycin, chloramphenicol and ceftriaxone) being the commonest (each exhibited by five different isolates). Multiple Antibiotic Resistance index (MAR index) ranged from 0.11-0.78. Resistance to seven (MAR index of 0.78) and five (MAR index of 0.56) different antibiotics was exhibited by 1 and 3 isolates, respectively. Some Escherichia coli isolates from different sources did exhibit the same resistance pattern. This study established the fact that Escherichia coli from meat and it related samples in Techiman Municipality were resistant to some antibiotics. Therefore, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of animals in the Municipality ought to be checked and controlled to prevent more isolates from becoming resistant. To the best of author's knowledge, this is the first report on the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from beef and its related samples in Techiman Municipality of Ghana.
