Microbial Quality Of Ready To Eat Cassava Fufu And Susceptibility Of Isolates To Antibiotics
ABSTRACT
A microbiogical study was
undertaken to determine the microbial quality of ready to eat fufu and the
susceptibility of the isolates to antibiotics. Thirty (30) Samples of ready to
eat fufu sample were serially diluted using a sterile test tube. Appropriate
dilution was inoculated by pour plate method onto nutrient agar, MacConkey
agar, Salmonelle shigella agar respectively. Susceptibility test of the
microbial isolate to antibiotics was carried out on Mueller Hinton agar. The
mean total count of bacterial isolate ranged from 3.44-4.76 cfu/g-1
for lactic acid bacterial, 3.06-4.91 cfug-1 for Enterobactericeae,
and 3.04-4.65 cfu/g-1for masophilic bacteria. Mean total count of
fungi isolate ranged from 1.2-2.6 cfu/g-1. The predominant bacteria
were of the genera Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Enterobacter,
Lactococcus, Corynebacterium and Klebsiella. Fungi isolated include Candida,
Saccharomyces and Aspergillus. Improvement and maintenance of goods hygiene
practice by food handlers and vendors will contribute to the safety of ready to
eat fufu.
