Occurrence and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Chicken Eggs, Eastern Ethiopia
Author(s): Jelalu Kemal*, Wakene Beji and Gebregeorgis Tesfamariam
Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a variety of infections in humans and animals that particularly causes staphylococcal food poisoning when it present in foods. This study was aimed to isolate Staphylococcus aureus present on the shell surfaces and in the contents of chicken eggs, and determine antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. A total of 335 egg samples were obtained from open market (n=174) and poultry farm (n=161), eastern Ethiopia. A sterile cotton swab was used to sample the surface of eggs. After sterilizing the shells, the egg contents were sampled. Identification of S. aureus was done based on culture characteristics, Gram staining and biochemical tests. The isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using disc diffusion method. Out of the total 335 eggs sample examined, 93 (27.8%) samples yielded S. aureus. Out of these, 28 (..
