Author(s): Adem HikoAdem Hiko
Staphylococcus aureus is common food contaminant and responsible for food poising. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of S. aureus and Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in Commercial Soft Drinks (CSDs) with antimicrobial resistance test on the isolates in two towns of Ethiopia. A total of 774 samples of ready-to-drink CSDs were randomly purchases from different public supply locations and analyzed for S. aureus. MRSA were screened phenotypically using Cefoxitin (FOX 30 μg) disk diffusion method. All of studied CSD products were within manufacturer shelf life. An overall 28 (3.6%) and 5 (0.6%) S. aureus and MRSA were observed, respectively. Similar prevalence of S. aureus ranging from 1.0-4.8% and 1.2-6.6% were observed by product category and by public supply location, respectively. Significantly higher (10.7%; OR=12, .. View More»
