| Description |
Street foods represent foods and beverages prepared by vendors in streets or other public places, i.e. schools. Foodsafety issues perceive street foods as a potential major public risk. Street foods contaminated with toxigenic Vibriocholerae may lead to serious poisoning to school-age children. In this study, 17 isolates of V. cholerae were obtained fromnine (45%) of total 20 street foods samples collected in Jakarta. Five (29%) were confirmed to be V. cholerae O1, serotypeOgawa using biochemical tests and serological identification. Of the 17 V. cholerae isolates 47% proved to be resistant toampicillin, 35% to trimethoprim, 17.6% to tetracycline, and 17.6% to streptomycin. A class 1 integrons bearing streptomycin/spectinomycin resistant gene cassette of aadA1c were discovered on isolate Vc25n. This may leads to horizontaltransfer of the antibiotic resistant genes to other bacteria.
