Abstract

Food products of animal origin, especially beef, are at risk of Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination during slaughtering and/or processing that poses serious threat to consumers. E. coli contamination affects food quality because the pathogen contains toxins that can cause disease and even death. This study aimed to detect virulence genes in E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157 isolates of beef sold in the traditional markets of the Yogyakarta Special Province, Indonesia, using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (multiplex PCR). A total of 98 raw beef samples were collected aseptically from different markets of study area and cultured on various selective media followed by the analysis by multiplex PCR amplification. The results exhibited that out of 98 beef samples, 83 (84,69) were positive for E. coli. The main virulence genes detected were eae, fliC, rfbE, and stx2A. All of these virulence genes of E. coli O157:H7 were detected in all beef samples. The 28 isolates were identified as non-O157 E. coli that exhibited the eae gene, however they were not exhibited the rfbE and fliC genes. This study concluded the presence of significant contamination of virulent E. coli strains in beef meat sold in the Yogyakarta Special Province, Indonesia. Moreover, multiplex PCR assay was shown to be effective for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157 strains from beef and may be applied for other food matrices as well. © 2021 Widiasih et al.
