Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a ubiquitous bacterium present in the environment and one of the leading causes of superficial and deep infections. In the food industry, it is acclaimed to be globally responsible for several food-borne diseases. This study was designed to isolate methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and determine the effect of rinsing on MRSA load in frozen meat and fish obtained from open market in Benin City.Methodology: Forty frozen meat samples (15 beef, 10 fish and 15 chickens) were randomly obtained from five markets in Benin City. The samples were analysed before and after rinsing using standard culture-based techniques to determine heterotrophic bacterial count, isolation of S. aureus, MRSA, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Data were analysed using SPSS version 21 and Microsoft excel 2016, and association between variables were measured using Student’s t-test with a probability level of < 0.05.Results: The natural logarithm (LN) of heterotrophic bacterial count (CFU/g) before rinsing were 11.53±1.25 (beef), 11.16±0.95 (fish) and 11.42±1.58 (chicken), while the counts after rinsing were 2.70±0.45 (beef), 2.68±0.25 (fish) and 2.79±0.49 (chicken) (p<0.05). Sixteen of the 40 (40%) were positive for S. aureus, of which 4 (10%) were MRSA. Amongst the frozen meat evaluated in the study, beef had the highest frequency of S. aureus contamination (46.7%) followed by chicken (40.0%) and fish (30.0%). The profile of antibiotic resistance of S.aureus showed that they were least resistant to ciprofloxacin (6%) but showed high resistance to erythromycin (94%), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (87.5%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (81%). Multiple antibiotic resistance index of S. aureus was calculated to be 0.63.Conclusion: The findings in this study revealed that frozen foods could act as a vehicle for the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and potential health risks for consumers.

Dans l'industrie alimentaire, il est reconnu pour être globalement responsable de plusieurs maladies d'origine alimentaire. Cette étude a été conçue pour isoler S. aureus résistant à la méthicilline (SARM) et déterminer l'effet du rinçage sur la charge de SARM dans la viande et le poisson congelés obtenus sur le marché libre de Benin City.Méthodologie: Quarante échantillons de viande congelée (15 bœuf, 10 poissons et 15 poulets) ont été obtenus au hasard sur cinq marchés de Benin City. Les échantillons ont été analysés avant et après le rinçage en utilisant des techniques de culture standard pour déterminer le nombre de bactéries hétérotrophes, l'isolement de S. aureus, le SARM et les tests de sensibilité aux antibiotiques. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide de SPSS version 21 et de Microsoft Excel 2016, et l'association entre les variables a été mesurée à l'aide du test t de Student avec un niveau de probabilité <0,05.Résultats: Le logarithme naturel (LN) du nombre de bactéries hétérotrophes (UFC/g) avant rinçage était de 11,53±1,25 (bœuf), 11,16±0,95 (poisson) et 11,42±1,58 (poulet), tandis que les comptages après rinçage étaient de 2,70±0,45 (bœuf), 2,68±0,25 (poisson) et 2,79±0,49 (poulet) (p<0,05). Seize des 40 (40%) étaient positifs pour S. aureus, dont 4 (10%) étaient SARM. Parmi les viandes congelées évaluées dans l'étude, le bœuf présentait la fréquence la plus élevée de contamination par S. aureus (46,7%), suivi du poulet (40,0%) et du poisson (30,0%). Le profil de résistance aux antibiotiques de S. aureus a montré qu'ils étaient les moins résistants à la ciprofloxacine (6%) mais présentaient une résistance élevée à l'érythromycine (94%), à l'amoxicilline/acide clavulanique (87,5%) et au triméthoprime-sulfaméthoxazole (81%). L'indice de résistance aux antibiotiques multiples de S. aureus a été calculé à 0,63.Conclusion: Les résultats de cette étude ont révélé que les aliments surgelés pourraient servir de vecteur de dissémination de bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques (ARA) et de risques potentiels pour la santé des consommateurs.

Penicillin exerts the activity to inhibit the peptide cross linkage between each polysaccharide backbone at the final stage of wall-peptidoglycan biosynthesis of bacteria. Morphologically, alterations of the septal wall and mesosome in gram-positive bacteria, which were occurred in early time after treatment with penicillin, have been observed. In this experiment, these alterations were cytochemically investigated by means of silver-methenamine staining after periodate oxidation, which is applied for detection of localization of wall mucopolysaccharide.Staphylococcus aureus strain 209P treated with 100 u/ml of penicillin G was divided into two aliquotes. One was fixed by Kellenberger-Ryter's OSO4 fixative at 30, 60 and 120 min after addition of the antibiotic, dehydrated through alcohol series, and embedded in Epon 812 (Specimen A). The other was fixed by 21 glutaraldehyde, dehydrated through glycolmethacrylate series and embedded in glycolmethacrylate mixture, according to Bernhard's method (Specimen B).

Gold labeling of two antigens (double labeling) is often done on two section surfaces separated by section thickness. Whether labeling is done on both sides of the same section or on two parallel surfaces separated by section thickness (PSSST), comparable results are dependent on an equal number of epitopes being exposed at each surface. We propose a method to study protein labeling within the same field of proteins, by examining two directly adjacent surfaces that were split during sectioning. The number of labeling sites on adjacent surfaces (AS) were compared to sites on PSSST surfaces in individual bacteria.Since each bacteria needed to be recognizable in all three section surfaces, one-hole grids were used for labeling. One-hole grids require a supporting membrane and excessive handling during labeling often ruptures the membrane. To minimize handling, a labeling chamber was designed that is inexpensive, disposable, minimizes contamination, and uses a minimal amount of solution.
