Bacteria-related food poisoning is the most prevalent cause of food borne diseases, reaching up to 33 percent of the incidents. The study aimed to provide data for the risk assessment processes focusing on poisoning due to the consumption of foods of animal origin.
Bovine meat, drumstick and breast chicken meat, white cheese, and cheddar samples were collected from five different stores in Tekirdağ, Turkey, monthly for twelve consecutive months, from January 1 to December 31, 2019.
Results showed that 4,16% of the samples (n=22) were contaminated with Salmonella sp. (n=12), Escherichia coli O157 (n=4), and Listeria monocytogenes (n=6). Antibiotic sensitivity studies revealed that the microorganisms were resistant to 8 different antibiotics.
Despite the low number of pathogens isolated, their presences with the high antibiotic resistance rates pose a significant threat to public health.
