食源性疾病是21世纪发病和死亡的主要原因,和食物处理人员是这些疾病的主要来源。
■该研究旨在评估肠道寄生虫的患病率,肠道细菌,抗菌敏感性模式,以及在Yabelo镇的食品和饮用水机构工作的食品处理人员的相关因素,Borena区,埃塞俄比亚南部,2022年。
■采用基于设施的横断面研究设计来评估食品处理人员的健康状况。使用半结构化问卷和观察性检查表收集数据,收集了396份常规粪便样本。用显微镜和细菌学培养检查样品以分离肠道细菌。社会科学统计包,版本26P值<.05的因素被认为具有统计学意义。
■在收集的396个粪便样本中,164例(41.4%)肠道寄生虫检测呈阳性,而40例(10.1%)的肠道细菌(沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌)阳性。在肠道寄生虫中,最主要的寄生虫是A虫48(12.1%)。沙门菌、志贺菌均对氨苄西林耐药。在多变量分析中,不定期修剪指甲(AOR=2.02,95%CI1.97-5.37),厕所后不要用肥皂洗手(AOR=3.02,95%CI2.37-5.62),吃生食(AOR=2.1,95%CI1.79-6.51)与细菌和寄生虫的患病率有显著关联。
■大多数食品处理人员的卫生习惯很差,在研究环境中,寄生虫和细菌的患病率很高。教育状况,吃生蔬菜或水果,厕所后洗手,指甲修剪与食品处理人员的健康状况有关。
UNASSIGNED: Foodborne illnesses are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the twenty-first century, and food handlers are the main source of these illnesses.
UNASSIGNED: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasites, enteric bacteria, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and associated factors among food handlers working in a food and drinking establishment in Yabelo town, Borena zone, Southern Ethiopia, in 2022.
UNASSIGNED: A facility-based cross-sectional study design was employed to assess the food handler\'s state of health. Data were gathered using semistructured questionnaires and observational checklists, and 396 regular stool samples were collected. Samples were examined with microscopy and bacteriological culture to isolate enteric bacteria. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 26 The factors that had a P-value of <.05 were considered statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 396 stool samples collected, 164 (41.4%) were tested positive for intestinal parasites, while 40 (10.1%) were positive for enteric bacteria (Salmonella and Shigella). Among intestinal parasites, the most predominant parasite was Ascaris lumbricoides 48 (12.1%). All isolates of Salmonella and Shigella showed resistance to ampicillin. In multivariable analysis, not trimming fingernails regularly (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.97-5.37), not washing hands with soap after the toilet (AOR = 3.02, 95% CI 2.37-5.62), and eating raw food (AOR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.79-6.51) have a significant association with the prevalence of bacteria and parasites.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of food handlers had poor hygiene practices, and the prevalence of parasites and bacteria was high in the study setting. Educational status, eating raw vegetables or fruit, hand washing after the toilet, and fingernail trimming have associations with the health status of food handlers.
