ABSTRACT<br/>There is an increased health concern that street vended meat might be more significant as a <br/>vehicle for the transmission of human enteric pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella<br/>spp. Consumption of meat products without proper processing potentially exposes consumer <br/>to foodborne diseases and infections. Escherichia coli cause serious food poisoning in their <br/>hosts. This study focused on detection and enumeration of pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella<br/>in suya, using selective agar media and molecular characterization. The highest counts of <br/>pathogenic E. coli in suya bought by the roadside and market place were 3.6 Log10 CFU/g and <br/>3.4 Log10 CFU/g, respectively. Salmonella was also detected in 25g of suya samples. Selective <br/>media used confirmed the presence of these pathogens. This study, established the presence of <br/>presumptive Shiga toxigenic E. coli and Salmonella in suya sold within Magboro, Ogun State.<br/>In addition, the study also demonstrated that suya may be a vehicle for the transmission of <br/>Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli. Therefore, meat products such as suya should be properly <br/>handled during processing to prevent cross-contamination with pathogenic bacteria. |
