ABSTRACT
In
the present study,10 samples of beef suya and chicken suya was collected
respctively from different food vendors at different strategic location in
Ikwanuo LGA , Abia State were analyzed for screening of Extended spectrum Beta-
Lactamase producing organisms on the ready to eat food; beef and chicken suya.
Organisms isolated where Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Salmonella spp and Citrobacter spp; using different cultural
media and biochemical test; Gram staining reaction/Microscopy. Antimicrobial
susceptibility test were carried out using 12 antibiotics discs; Organisms
isolated were susceptible to the following antibiotics: Amoxicillin/Clavulanate,
Imipenem/Cilastatin, Ofloxacin, Gentamicin, Levofloxacin.
Confirmatory test (Double Synergy Test) for ESBL Production was conducted, some
bacterial strains isolated were positive while some were negative. These
finding shows that retailed foods especially ready to eat foods are
contaminated with microorganisms due to improper handling of foods.
