چکیده

background: enterococcus spp., belonging to the group of lactic acid bacteria, are gram-positive ubiquitous commensals of the intestines of human beings as well as warm-blooded animals. the main objective of this study was to determine the occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of enterococcus spp. isolated from lettuce and irrigation water in abidjan, côte d'ivoire. methods: a total of 72 samples, including leaves of lettuce (n=36) and irrigation water (n=36) were randomly collected from three different agricultural sites located in abidjan city, côte d'ivoire. after microbial analysis and identification of enterococcus spp. by culturing and biochemical methods, antimicrobial susceptibility tests were carried out using disk diffusion method. data were analyzed by statistical processing software r (r 3.0 for windows). results: e. faecalis was recognized as the most prevalent strain which was found in 27 out of 36 (75%) lettuce as well as 29 out of 36 (80.5%) irrigation water samples. the mean enterococcus load of lettuces and irrigation water samples were 2.3±0.7 and 3.6±2 log colony forming unit per g lettuce, respectively. among 45 studied enterococci isolates, the most antibiotic-resistance rates were related to erythromycin (54%) and also co-trimoxazole (49%). conclusion: there is a considerable public health concern regarding raw consumption of lettuce cultivated in abidjan city which can cause gastroenteritis diseases in consumers.

Moderate prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from lettuce, irrigation water, and soil.

Fresh produce is known to carry nonpathogenic epiphytic microorganisms. During agricultural production and harvesting, leafy greens can become contaminated with antibiotic-resistant pathogens or commensals from animal and human sources. As lettuce does not undergo any inactivation or preservation treatment during processing, consumers may be exposed directly to all of the (resistant) bacteria p...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Enterococcus spp. Isolated from Environmental Samples in an Area of Intensive Poultry Production

Enterococcus spp. from two poultry farms and proximate surface and ground water sites in an area of intensive poultry production were tested for resistance to 16 clinical antibiotics. Resistance patterns were compared to assess trends and possible correlations for specific antimicrobials and levels of resistance. Enterococci were detected at all 12 surface water sites and three of 28 ground wat...
