Isolation and Identification of Pathogenic Bacteria from Ready to Eat Fast Foods from Kothanur, Bangalore.

Le résumé fourni par la source

Due to the use of contaminated foods, foodborne bacteria are viewed as a serious health problem and are becoming a formidable worldwide health complication. Foodborne illnesses are primarily caused by the attractiveness of street food, which is cooked and sold by vendors in an unsanitary environment. In order to identify the biological pathogens in fast food and ascertain their susceptibility to antibiotics, the current observation was made. Street vendors provided samples of their fast food, which were homogenized, serially diluted up to 10-7, and then one millilitre was seeded onto bacteriological media such as MacConkey agar and Blood agar. All of the gathered street food samples had their bacterial pathogens enumerated. The pattern of antibiotic sensitivity showed that Klebsiella was resistant to all of the drugs that were examined. Lack of heat processing processes during preparation and poor personal cleanliness of food handlers may be the cause of tower counts of Klebsiella. These findings highlight the existence of bacteria in street food and the need for better hygienic procedures while preparing food samples.
