Overview

Analysis identifies Shigella spp contamination risk factors in vegetable salads, suggesting health implications.

Key Points

  • A total of 10% of ready-to-eat vegetable salad samples were contaminated with shigella spp, indicating a public health risk.
  • The antibiotic sensitivity tests revealed that shigella isolates showed resistance to ofloxacin and oxacillin while being sensitive to gentamicin and ceftriaxone.
  • Analysis utilized nutrient and SS agar for sample inoculation, with identification through Gram’s staining and biochemical tests.
  • The study underscores significant associations between contamination levels and specific handling practices, highlighting potential intervention opportunities.
