Abstract :
Arcobacter are gram-negative or aerobic bacteria that cause gastroenteritis in humans, whose source is soil, and they have a high ability to resist antibiotics. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the contamination with heavy metals and Arcobacter in meat, salad, raw milk and drinking water in Shahrekord city and to measure the antibiotic resistance of the isolates. In this study, 150 food samples were randomly collected from different parts of Shahrekord city and transferred to the quality control laboratory of Shahrekord Islamic Azad University to evaluate the microbial load, antibiotic resistance and heavy metal levels. The samples were tested according to the standard method. P<0.05 was considered as a significant level in the present study. The results showed that 10.66% of the 150 food samples tested were contaminated with Arcobacter. The level of contamination in drinking water was 2 samples (5%), grilled meat was 7 samples (23.33%), salad was 3 samples (7.5%), and traditional milk was 4 samples (10%). The results showed that the pldA gene was found in 87.5% in Arcobacter with the highest frequency, while the cadF gene was detected in 75% with the lowest frequency. Considering the contamination of all the samples of this study and the possibility of the infection being transmitted to humans and causing complications such as gastroenteritis, as well as the high consumption of meat, especially grilled meat in roadside restaurants, it seems necessary to take measures to control the contamination of this bacteria from the cycle. From production to consumption of meat, salad and raw milk, and complete cooking of meat, boiling of milk before consumption must be done carefully.
