Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals high multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli contamination in raw cow milk, highlighting the need for improved handler hygiene and sanitation.

Key Points

  • Raw cow milk frequently carries resistant Escherichia coli strains, and contamination levels exceed standard microbiological safety thresholds in vending outlets.
  • Contamination affected 30.7% of 384 milk samples, with 77.1% of isolated Escherichia coli showing resistance against multiple antimicrobial drug classes.
  • Cross-sectional multivariable logistic regression linked poor handler hygiene to bacterial contamination, highlighting an urgent need for food safety training.
