Reveals high antimicrobial resistance in street foods, indicating urgent need for hygiene improvements.
CFU/g, respectively. S. aureus and E. coli were most prevalent in Alur Chop and Fuchka, while Shigella spp. occurred less frequently, and no Salmonella spp. was detected. Widespread antimicrobial resistance was observed in S. aureus and E. coli, exceeding 90% for Ampicillin and Imipenem, and remaining high for Ciprofloxacin and Erythromycin. Shigella spp. showed lower resistance but notable non-susceptibility to Ampicillin and Tetracycline. Logistic regression identified bacterial species and sampling location as significant predictors of MDR. MAR index analysis revealed pronounced antibiotic selection pressure within specific sampling location, while Shigella spp. showed lower MAR values. Gopalganj street foods exhibit poor hygiene and high multidrug resistance, underscoring the need for better hygiene practices and antibiotic stewardship.
