Assessment of Some Bacterial Zoonotic Microorganisms from Market Fishes in Four Nile Delta Fish Species.pdf (original) (raw)

Consumption of contaminated fish lead to many of zoonotic bacterial diseases causes severe problems to human health. So, this study aimed to isolate some zoonotic bacteria from fish markets including E. coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococci. This study was carried-out on four hundred samples of fish species classified as; Clarias gariepinus, Cyprinus carpio (common carp), Mugil cephalus and Oreochromis niloticu (tilapia) (100 of each). These fishes were obtained from different markets located in Eastern Delta governorates, Egypt. The fishes were subjected to clinical and bacteriological examinations to identify the types of bacterial isolates. The current results indicated that higher incidence of bacterial isolates was observed in Clarias garipinus, followed by common carp, Mugil cephalus and while low incidence was reported by O. niloticus. Although, Pseudomonas, Streptococci, Salmonella spp. recorded higher loads, while lower was reported by E. coli and Staphylococci were observed the public health impotence of zoonotic spp. Isolates were discussed.
