Journal Article
Multi-drug resistant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing E. coli and Salmonella on raw vegetable salads served at hotels and restaurants in Bharatpur, Nepal
2019
Overview
Objective
Antimicrobial resistance among the bacteria present in ready-to-eat foods like vegetable salads is an emerging concern today. The current study was undertaken to investigate the presence of multi-drug resistant extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing
E. coli
and
Salmonella
spp. in raw vegetable salads served at hotels and restaurants in Bharatpur. A total of 216 salad samples were collected from three different grades of hotels and restaurants and examined for the presence of
E. coli
and
Salmonella
spp. in Microbiology laboratory of Birendra Multiple Campus by conventional microbiological techniques.
Results
Out of 216 samples, 66 samples (35.2%) showed the presence of
Salmonella
spp. whereas
E. coli
was recovered from 29 (13.4%) samples of which 3 samples harbored
E. coli
O157: H7. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that 9 (13.6%)
Salmonella
and 4 (13.8%)
E. coli
isolates were detected as multi-drug resistant. Total ESBL producers reported were 5 (7.57%)
Salmonella
and 4 (13.8%)
E. coli
. The study also assessed a significant association between occurrence of
E. coli
and
Salmonella
with different grades of hotels and restaurants, personal hygiene and literacy rate of chefs and with the type of cleaning materials used to wash knives and chopping boards (p < 0.05). The findings suggest an immediate need of attention by the concerned authorities to prevent the emergence and transmission of food-borne pathogens and infections antimicrobial resistance among them.
