“…Aerobic colony count of 7.27 Log 10 CFU/g suya obtained in the present study is higher than the acceptable limits of 10 3 -<10 4 CFU/g (Gilbert et al, 2000). In addition, this value was higher than the following: 0.07 to 2.22 x 10 5 CFU/g , 10 5 to 10 6 and log 10 4.98 to log 10 6.27 reported by Edema et al (2008), Inyang et al (2005) and Abdullahi et al (2006) respectively. The aerobic colony counts of a food product with 10 6 CFU/g and above means that the food is contaminated to unsafe level and should attract public health attention.…”

“…Suya contamination to unsafe level at the point of consumption with air flora and other microorganisms from handlers, equipment, utensils like trays, spoons and knives is possible, although epidemiological evidence on outbreaks of suya-borne diseases is scarce. Pathogenic microorganisms have been implicated in suya and other roasted meats products (Abdullahi et al, 2004;2006;Edema et al, 2008;Ogbonna et al, 2012).…”

This study was aimed to detect Salmonella spp. in imported frozen beef and buffalo meat cuts from India, Brazil, Australia and Newzeland. One hundred frozen meat samples were collected from supermarkets located at Alexandria province and from Alexandria port. Salmonella was biochemically identified in 18/100 (18%) samples. Serologically, S. paratyphi A and S. typhi were detected in 10/18 (55.56%) and 8/18 (44.44%) positive samples, respectively. Using conventional PCR, 18/18 (100%) were confirmed to be pathogenic by specific primer to rfbS gene of the pathogenic strains of Salmonella responsible for the most food poisoning while all of these pathogenic isolates 18/18 (100 %) were also confirmed by real time PCR amplifying the invA gene of Salmonella spp. All copyrights reserved to Nexus® academic publishers

“…The high ambient temperature and humidity coupled with poor handling practices predispose such meat products to massive microbial contamination and rapid deterioration (Abdullahi et al . ). Several micro‐organisms have been incriminated in foodborne illnesses resulting from consumption of contaminated meat and meat products.…”

Significance and Impact of the Study: Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus are important agents of foodborne diseases. Occurrence of these infectious agents was established in meat and meat products in Zaria, Nigeria. Majority of isolates obtained from this study, displayed multidrug resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents, including methicillin resistance among the Staph. aureus isolates. The potential virulence of L. monocytogenes found in ready-to-eat food was documented by the carriage of hly A gene by one of the isolates. A different mechanism of methicillin resistance or different homologue of mec A gene may be circulating among Nigerian isolates. AbstractThe bacterial genera Listeria and Staphylococcus have been frequently isolated from food products and are responsible for a number of animal and human diseases. The aim of the study was to simultaneously isolate and characterize L. monocytogenes and Staphylococcus species from 300 samples of raw meat and meat products, to determine the susceptibility of the organisms to commonly used antimicrobial agents and to determine the presence of haemolysin A (hyl) virulence gene in L. monocytogenes and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mecA (SCCmec) gene in the Staph. aureus isolates using PCR. Of the 85 Listeria isolates tested, 12 L. monocytogenes were identified and tested for their sensitivity to 14 antimicrobial agents. All the 12 isolates (100%) were resistant to nine antimicrobial agents, but however sensitive to gentamicin. Only one isolate was found to harbour the hylA gene. Twenty-nine isolates were confirmed as Staph. aureus by the Microbact 12S identification system and were all presumptively identified as methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus species using oxacillin-resistant Staph. aureus basal medium (ORSAB). The 29 Staph. aureus isolates were tested for their sensitivity to 16 antimicrobial agents, and 11 were resistant to methicillin. None of the 11 Staph. aureus isolates harboured the methicillin resistance, mecA gene.
