Bacterial Contamination Of Tooth Picks Sold In Mouau Restaurants:- Obaji, Happiness E.
ABSTRACT
Bacterial contamination on tooth picks sold in
MOUAU restaurants was carried out in this study. About forty (40) canteens and
restaurants were evaluated in this study. Five (5) bacteria genera were
isolated from this study, they includes Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp.,
Proteus. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus sp. The frequency of
occurrence of the isolates from toothpick in this study shows that
Staphylococcus aureus had the highest percentage occurrence of 25(65.99%) while
Streptococcus sp. 1(2.6%), Klebsiella sp. 1(2.6%) and Proteus sp. 1(2.6%) had
the lowest percentage occurrence while Escherichia coli had occurrence of
10(26.32%). The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the toothpick isolates showed
that the antibiotics; (Ciprofloxacin) CPX 20(80)% . (Gentamycin) CN 18(72)%.
(Tarivid) OFX 20(80)% and (Streptomycin) S 18(72)% showed a good percentage
sensitivity pattern against Staphylococcus aureus while Streptococcus sp,
Klebsiella sp and Proteus sp showed higher resistance to all the antibiotics.
Poor sanitation practices and personal hygiene have been incriminated as the
main factors responsible for the high prevalence of microbial contaminants in
this study
