| antibiotic resistance pattern of foodborne salmonella isolates in addis ababa (ethiopia). | a total of 39 salmonella cultures isolated from raw minced beef and chicken (gizzard, liver, and heart) samples in addis ababa were examined for susceptibility to a group of 10 selected antimicrobials. 34 isolates (87.2%) were resistant to one or more antibiotics. the antibiotics to which isolated salmonella strains were most often fully resistant included nitrofurantoin (48.7%), furazolidone (48.7%) and streptomycin (46.2%). only 4 antimicrobials (gentamycin, kanamycin, rifampicin and sulphamet ... | 1999 | 10189719 |
| molecular determination of antimicrobial resistance in escherichia coli isolated from raw meat in addis ababa and bishoftu, ethiopia. | consumption of meat contaminated by e. coli causes a serious illness and even death to affected individuals. recently the emerging of antibiotic resistant foodborne e. coli poses serious public health risks worldwide. however, little is known about the antibiotic resistance profile of e. coli in ethiopia. this study aimed to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (amr) status of e. coli isolated from different type of meat. | 2017 | 28810864 |
| prevalence of toxoplasma gondii from free-range chickens (gallus domesticus) from addis ababa, ethiopia. | prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in free-range chickens (gallus domesticus) is a good indicator of the environmental contamination with oocysts because chickens become infected mainly by feeding from ground, feed, or soil contaminated with oocysts. the seroprevalence of t. gondii antibodies in 125 free-range chickens from the addis ababa, ethiopia, was determined. antibodies to t. gondii were assayed by the modified agglutination test; 48 of 125 (38.4%) chickens were seropositive, with titers of ... | 2013 | 23259902 |
| occurrence and distribution of listeria monocytogenes and other listeria species in ready-to-eat and raw meat products. | the present study was undertaken to estimate the occurrence and distribution of listeria monocytogenes and other listeria species in ready-to-eat food items (pasteurized milk, cheese, ice cream, and cakes) and raw meat products (minced beef, pork, and chicken carcasses). a total of 711 randomly selected samples were collected from supermarkets and pastry shops in addis ababa, ethiopia. listeria monocytogenes and other listeria species were isolated and identified according to the techniques reco ... | 2009 | 19226932 |
| antimicrobial resistance pattern of salmonella serotypes isolated from food items and personnel in addis ababa, ethiopia. | antimicrobial susceptibility test of 98 isolates of salmonella was assayed from september 2003 to february 2004 using the guidelines of the national committee for clinical laboratory standards (nccls).the result revealed that 32.7% of salmonella isolates were resistant to one or more of the 24 antimicrobials tested. generally resistance for 13 different antimicrobial drugs was recognized. the most common resistance was to streptomycin (24/32, 75%), ampicillin (19/32, 59.4%), tetracycline (15/32, ... | 2009 | 18516698 |
| occurrence of salmonellae in retail raw chicken products in ethiopia. | a cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the presence and prevalence of salmonellae in retail raw chicken meat and giblets (gizzard and liver) in supermarkets in addis ababa (ethiopia). a total of 301 samples (244 chicken meat, 32 gizzards and 25 livers) were collected from 22 randomly selected supermarkets and examined for the presence of salmonella. for the isolation and identification of salmonellae, the technique recommended by the international organization for standardization (i ... | 2003 | 12592931 |
