| Summary, etc |
Bacterial pathogens are of the greatest concern to customers about meat safety problems. A broad range of pre-slaughtering and processing procedures are responsible for human pathogen contamination of raw meat goods. Pathogenic Escherichia coli is common pathogen associated with meat, with Shiga-toxin or verocytoxin producing E. coli O157 the most common memeber of a group of pathogenic strains. In this study, E. coli O157 was isolated using sorbitol containing MacConkey agar (SMAC medium) while Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar were used for the isolation Salmonella species. The highest counts of 8.05 log^10 CFU/g and 8.12 log^10 CFU/g for SMAC were found in Offals and meat respectively. Salmonella species were found in 25g of both offals and meat which are contrary to meat safety standards. Thus, such microorganisms pose a potential danger to humans, particularly from the consumption of these products, which may lead to other diseases such as hemorrhage colitis (HC) or hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). There is a need for education on sanitary handling of meat which is possible vehicle for Salmonella and E. Coli infections. The responsibility of tracking the hygiene and sanitation of abattoirs and slaughterhouse in Ofada / Mokoloki LCDA should be taken over by government agencies. |
