Three hundred samples, including meat from the slaughtered carcass and water, air samples, and swabs from the floor, wall, and employees' hands, were collected from five municipal abattoirs spread across several Egyptian provinces. The Escherichia coli was isolated from floor swabs, meat, air, wall, hand, and water samples. Serotyping of the recovered isolates clarified the presence of various serotypes, including enterohemorrhagic serotypes (O 111 : H 4 , O 128 : H 2 , and O 127 : H 6 ) and enterotoxigenic serotypes (O 44 : H 18 and O 125 : H 21 ). The isolates were resistant to cefotaxime (100%), amoxiclav (80%), then rifampin (66.7%). The stx 1 gene, stx 2 gene, eaeA gene, bla CMY2 gene and iss gene were detected in 10-80 % of the isolates. Nanosilver (AgNPs) showed that 12.5 ppm was the lowest concentration that prevented bacterial growth. It was observed that 12% of workers wore a clean white coat, only 24% washed their hands between activities during work, only 14% used soap for hand washing, and 42% utilized the same knife for meat and its offal. |
