Occurrence Of Staphylococcus Aureus On Some Ready-To-Eat Food Samples And Their Antibiotic Susceptibility
ABSTRACT
The occurrence of StapvIococcus aureus in eggroll ,meat pie
and fish pie and its antibiotic susceptibility testing were studied. The
samples were obtained from Umuahia. Among these samples, meat pie recorded the
highest total viable counts of 1.5 x 107 cfuml while egg roll
recorded the least count. Most of the isolates were sensitive to erythromycin,
gentamicin, streptomycin, tetracycline, ampicillin and chloramphenicol.
StaphyIococcus aureus showed highest resistance to pen ic ill in. The most
effective antibiotics used were crythromycin, gentamicin and streptomycin which
respectively has 77.8% sensitivity and these where followed by tetracycline,
ampicillin and chloramphenicol with 66.7% sensitivity each. The result indicates
that Staphylococcus aureus could be present in food sample and could he a
potential vehicle of staphylococcal food borne infection.
