| dc.description.abstract | Background:Diseases such as Salmonellosis,Shigella, and intestinal parasites remain a major public health problem worldwide. The problem is especially acute in developing countries due to the personal hygiene and handling practices of food processors. Food handlers have been caught by various pathogens and are being transmitted to the police. The purpose of this study was to examine the presence of intestinal parasites, Salmonella and Shigella, associated risk factors and ant ibio t ics susceptibility pattern of iso lates among food handlers in Addis Ababa police commission camps, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods:From February to May 2021, cross-section study were conducted in ten sub-cit ies selected by Addis Ababa Police Commission Camps. Social demographic data and fecal samples were collected from 247 study participants. Stool specimens were tested by wet mount and float at ion, and sedimentat ion with microscopic.The stoolculturewasdone onXylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar (XLD) and Deoxycholate citrate agar for(DCA) SalmonellaandShigella ident ified on the biochemical tests(nutrient broth,KIA, Citrate, LIA, Urea, and Mot ilit y) and also Salmonella agglutinating test performed.Ant imicrobial suscept ibilit y test was doneon Muller Hinton agar plates against ampicillin (10 μg), ceftriaxone (30 μg), chloramphenicol (30 μg), and ciprofloxacin (5 μg). The Data were entered, coded and analyzedwith SPSS version 25. The associations between risk factor and intestinal parasite were tested using the Chi-square test. P values ≤ 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical Significance. Results:The majority of food handlers (83%) were young people aged less than 26,the mean age of the respondents 22.7, standard division 5, and range 38. All the food handlers were women. One hundred and forty-three (57.9%) food handlers were educated beyond pr imary school. Most (54.3%) of food handlers were serve below one years. A 98.8% of the participants interviewed had a toilet in the workplaceand wash their hands before serving and serving any food. Similarly, most the respondents 179 (72.5%) said that when they suffer from diseases such as diarrhea, they do not prepare food.Twenty-nine (11.74%) of the participants had intestinal parasites. Entamoebahistolytica/dipar was the most widespread parasite (5.7%) of those who provided stool samples. In addition, 1.6% (4/247) of the samples was positive for Salmonella. All o f the Salmonella isolates were sensitive for gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin / clavulanic acid, ampicillin-sulbactam, Nacidixcacid, cotrimoxazole, imipenem, and marocain and all isolates were resistant to antibiotics like Ampicillin, Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, and Cefuroxime. Conclusions: We conclude that the health problems in the study area areintest inal parasite and Salmonella. To address foodborne illness in Addis Ababa Police Commission Camps regular health education and training programs among food handlers had requested to address. | en_US |
