Prevalence and phenotypic Characterization of Some Pathogenic Bacteria isolated from different meat sources in Al-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt

Abstract

This study discussed the isolation and identification of some multidrug resistant bacteria that causing morbidity and mortality. (104) bacterial isolates were resulted from 100 meat and meat products samples that were randomly collected from six (6) different locations in Al-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. These bacterial isolates were obtained from 10 different meat samples with the following percentage representations: fresh meat (6.73%), frozen meat (13.46) Brazilian meat (12.5%), Sudanese meat (4.81%) Pastrami (6.73%), Frozen burger (10.58%), Frozen kofta (14.42%) Minced meat (5.77%), Luncheon (18.27), and Sausage (6.73). The high percent of isolates present in Luncheon. In the current studies both of phenotypic characterization and the identification of a few virulence genes were studied. The most potent strain fully characterized by biochemical characterization is Bacillus spps. transmission of multidrug-resistance STEC strains are linked with a severity of disease outcomes and horizontal spread of resistance genes in other pathogens. The result of this has emerged as a significant threat to public health, animal health, food safety, and the environment.
