Antibiotic resistance in the pathogenic foodborne bacteria isolated from raw kebab and hamburger: phenotypic and genotypic study
Background In recent years, interest in the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) food products has been increased in many countries.

| Shrnutí: | Background
In recent years, interest in the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) food products has been increased in many countries. However, RTE products particularly those prepared by meat may be potential vehicles of antibiotic-resistance foodborne pathogens. Considering kebab and hamburger are the most popular RTE meat products in Iran, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of common foodborne pathogens (
Escherichia coli
,
Salmonella
spp.,
Staphylococcus aureus
, and
Listeria monocytogenes
) in raw kebab and hamburger samples collected from fast-food centers and restaurants. Therefore, total bacterial count (TBC), as well as the prevalence rates and antibiogram patterns of foodborne pathogens in the samples were investigated. Also, the presence of antibiotic-resistance genes (
bla
SHV
,
bla
TEM,
bla
Z
, and
mec
A) was studied in the isolates by PCR.
Results
The mean value of TBC in raw kebab and hamburger samples was 6.72 ± 0.68 log CFU/g and 6.64 ± 0.66 log CFU/g, respectively.
E. coli
had the highest prevalence rate among the investigated pathogenic bacteria in kebab (70%) and hamburger samples (48%).
Salmonella
spp.,
L. monocytogenes,
and
S. aureus
were also recovered from 58, 50, and 36% of kebab samples, respectively. The contamination of hamburger samples was detected to
S. aureus
(22%),
L. monocytogenes
(22%), and
Salmonella
spp. (10%). In the antimicrobial susceptibility tests, all isolates exhibited high rates of antibiotic resistance, particularly against amoxicillin, penicillin, and cefalexin (79.66–100%). The
bla
TEM
was the most common resistant gene in the isolates of
E. coli
(52.54%) and
Salmonella
spp. (44.11%). Fourteen isolates (23.72%) of
E. coli
and 10 isolates (29.41%) of
Salmonella
spp. were positive for
bla
SHV
. Also, 16 isolates (55.17%) of
S. aureus
and 10 isolates (27.27%) of
L. monocytogenes
were positive for
mec
A gene.
Conclusions
The findings of this study showed that raw kebab and hamburger are potential carriers of antibiotic-resistance pathogenic bacteria, which can be a serious threat to public health. |
