Prevalence, Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Escherichia Coli Isolated from Duck Meat and Giblets

Abstract: Escherichia coli is one of the foodborne pathogens associated with several cases of human sickness. Duck meat is an excellent source of animal-derived high quality proteins. This study was undertaken to investigate the possible transmission of diarrheagenic E. coli from consumption of duck meat and giblets. Additionally, expression of some virulence-associated genes in the isolated E. coli serotypes was examined using polymerase chain reaction. Finally, antibiogram of the identified E. coli serotypes was also … Show more

“…It might also indicate cross‐contamination of the meat from the workers’ hands, cutting boards, water, and knives used during slaughtering, evisceration and processing of the camel meat and offal. Coliform bacteria are considered as significant microbiological sanitary indicators, which emphasizes hygiene in all steps of preparation and handling of food subjects (Darwish et al, 2015). The recorded mean values of TEC were 6.50 ± 0.18, 5.50 ± 0.20, 4.20 ± 0.18, 3.50 ± 0.21, 3.20 ± 0.33, and 2.70 ± 0.20 log CFU/g in the examined duodenum, rumen, lungs, kidneys, liver, and muscle, respectively (Figure 1c).…”

“…The high content of protein and moisture are considered as ideal factors that enhance microbial spoilage of the meat and offal. In addition, poor hygienic measures adopted during slaughtering, evisceration, distribution, and storage of the meat and offal are additional factors for the rapid onset of the microbial spoilage of the meat (Darwish, Eldin, & Eldesoky, 2015). However, there is a clear lack of information about the microbial quality of camel meat and offal in the local markets of Egypt.…”

“…In another study, conducted by Darwish et al (19) concerning the antibiotic susceptibilities of E. coli serogroups, E. coli O86 was highly sensitive to cefotaxime, followed by ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin, whereas E. coli O127 was highly susceptible to cefotaxime but resistant to amoxicillin and showed weak sensitivity to other antibiotics tested. In the same study (19), E. coli O114 was highly susceptible to danofloxacin and norfloxacin.…”

“…Positive results of fecal coliform or E.coli in the samples may indicate the existence of other pathogenic organisms, thus reflecting the potential health risks for individuals being exposed to samples. Contamination of ready to eat food is attributed to post-processing contamination due to many reasons such as unhygienic practices during food handling, lack of personal hygiene, unhygienic kitchen, utensils, equipment and packaging (Darwish et al, 2015).…”
