Microbial Status and Identification with Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns of Enteric Pathogen Escherichia Coli and Vibrio Cholerae Isolated from Different Street Foods Sold in Dhaka City, Bangladesh

There are various benefits offered by street vended foods, but street foods are contaminated with many foodborne pathogens includes enteric pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae has become a potential health hazard problem all over the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the complete microbial status of common foodborne pathogens including enteric pathogen Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae and identify the presence and find out the contamination level of Escherichia coliand Vibrio cholerae with Antibiotic sensitivity status from different street foods in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. For this assessment, 42 street food samples of 6categories were collected from 7 different areas of Dhaka city. In all food samples, Total Viable Bacterial Count TVBC was Ranged from 1.3x107 to 8×107cfu g, Total Coliform Count TCC was Ranged from 1x107 to 4.5 x107cfu g, Total Escherichia coli Count TEC was Ranged from 2×104 to 7.9x106cfu g and Total Vibrio cholerae Count TVC was ranged from 1x102 to 5.3x106cfu g. In addition, out of the 42 analyzed food samples Escherichia coliwas found in 28 66.67 samples and Vibrio cholera was found in 26 61.90 samples. The isolated pathogenic Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae was identified by Cultural, Gram Staining, and Biochemical tests. The isolated pathogens were then tested for antibiotic sensitivity and the results revealed that isolated Escherichia coli were resistant against Streptomycin 85.71 , Ceftriaxone 100 , Erythromycin 100 , Cefixime 100 , Meropenem 100 , and Gentamycin 71.42 and isolated Vibrio cholerae were resistant against Streptomycin 84.62 , Erythromycin 100 , Cefixime 100 , Meropenem 100 , Amikacin 100 , and Gentamycin 57.69 areoutrageous. The results revealed that the contamination percentage of pathogenic Escherichia coli 22 and Vibrio cholerae 23 in Gulistanwas high than the other areas.
