Food microbial contamination is a serious problem. This study used PCR to identify the most common foodborne pathogens in food samples from Khartoum state. The presence of Listeria monocytogenes and Vibrio cholerae in raw milk and fresh cheese samples highlights the need for enhanced hygiene measures.
Food Microbial contamination is one of the most serious problems. A large percentage of food-borne illnesses are caused by food-borne pathogens, and diarrheal agents comprise more than half of the overall prevalence of food-borne illnesses in the globe, and more commonly in developing countries. This study aimed to identify the most-common foodborne organisms from foods in Khartoum state by PCR. A total of 207 food samples (raw milk, fresh cheese, yogurt, fish, sausage, mortadella, and eggs) were collected. DNA was extracted from food samples by guanidine chloride protocol, and then speciesspecific primers were used to identify Escherichia coli O157: H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Out of 207 samples, five (2.41%) were positive for L. monocytogenes, one (0.48%) was positive for S. aureus, and one (0.48%) was positive for both Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. From 91 fresh cheese samples, 2 (2.19%) were positive for L. monocytogenes, and one (1.1%) sample was positive for two different foodborne pathogens (V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus). Out of 43 Cow's milk samples, three (7%) samples were positive for L. monocytogenes, and out of 4 sausage samples, one (25 %) was positive for S. aureus. Our study revealed the presence of L. monocytogenes and V. cholera in raw milk and fresh cheese samples. Their presence is considered a potential problem and needs intensive hygiene efforts and standard safety measures before, during, and after food processing operations. (c) 2023 The Authors.
