Survey Of Enteric Pathogens In Groundnut Pepper Sauce (Okwa Ose) Sold In Umuahia Metropolis
ABSTRACT
A Survey was undertaken to determine the enteric pathogen in
groundnut pepper enteric (Okwa-Ose) sold in Umuahia metropolis. Ten samples of
Okwa-Ose from Ndoro, Ubakala, Olokoro, Ishi-gate and Nkwo-egwu markets were
analysed. The predominant enteric bacteria, were E. Coil, Salmonella species
and Shigella species. This study shows that street foods can be sources of
enteropathogens. The presence of food borne pathogens and unacceptable limits
of enteric bacteria in these food samples poses some potential risks to the
consuming public. The need for improvement and maintenance of good hygiene
practices by food handlers and vendors are emphasized.
