Animal sourced foods, such as dairy products, are common sources of Salmonella enterica, a foodborne pathogen of increasing global concern, particularly in developing countries. In Ethiopia, most data on the prevalence of Salmonella in dairy products is highly varied and limited to a specific region or district. Furthermore, there is no data available on the risk factors for Salmonella contamination of cow milk and cottage cheese in Ethiopia. This study was therefore conducted to determine the presence of Salmonella throughout the Ethiopian dairy value chain and to identify risk factors for contamination with Salmonella. The study was carried out in three regions of Ethiopia, including Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples, and Amhara during a dry season. A total 912 samples were collected from milk producers, collectors, processors, and retailers. Samples were tested for Salmonella using the ISO 6579-1: 2008 method, followed by PCR confirmation. Concurrent with sample collection, a survey was administered to study participants to identify risk factors associated with Salmonella contamination. Salmonella contamination was highest in raw milk samples at the production (19.7%) and at milk collection (21.3%) levels. No significant difference in the prevalence of Salmonella contamination among regions was detected (p > 0.05). Regional differences were apparent for cottage cheese, with the highest prevalence being in Oromia (6.3%). Identified risk factors included the temperature of water used for cow udder washing, the practice of mixing milk lots, the type of milk container, use of refrigeration, and milk filtration. These identified factors can be leveraged to develop targeted intervention strategies aimed at reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in milk and cottage cheese in Ethiopia.
乳制品等动物源性食品是肠炎沙门氏菌的常见来源,这种食源性病原体日益受到全球关注,尤其是在发展中国家。在埃塞俄比亚,大多数关于乳制品中沙门氏菌流行率的数据差异很大,且仅限于特定地区或区域。此外,关于埃塞俄比亚牛奶和松软干酪受沙门氏菌污染的风险因素,目前还没有相关数据。因此,本研究旨在确定整个埃塞俄比亚乳制品价值链中是否存在沙门氏菌,并确定沙门氏菌污染的风险因素。研究在埃塞俄比亚的三个地区进行,包括旱季的奥罗莫、南方各族人民和阿姆哈拉。共从牛奶生产商、收集商、加工商和零售商处收集了 912 份样本。采用 ISO 6579-1:2008 方法对样本进行沙门氏菌检测,然后进行 PCR 确认。在收集样本的同时,还对研究参与者进行了调查,以确定与沙门氏菌污染相关的风险因素。沙门氏菌污染在生奶生产(19.7%)和牛奶采集(21.3%)阶段的样本中最高。各地区的沙门氏菌污染率没有明显差异(P > 0.05)。松软干酪的地区差异明显,流行率最高的是奥罗莫地区(6.3%)。确定的风险因素包括清洗奶牛乳房的水温、混合牛奶批次的做法、牛奶容器的类型、冷藏的使用和牛奶过滤。这些已确定的因素可用于制定有针对性的干预策略,以降低埃塞俄比亚牛奶和松软干酪中沙门氏菌的流行率。
