Abstract

Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae. These bacteria can live in the intestine of humans and other animals. Eating undercooked foods contaminated with animal dung can lead to infection with Salmonella. Salmonella is a pathogen of food poisoning and is a public health concern. Over 2,600 Salmonella serotypes have been identified. It can be transmitted through various foods and environmental sources. This study aimed to isolate and identify Salmonella spp. from waste food in Jimma town, Southwest Ethiopia. A total of 20 waste food samples were collected from different households. The selection of study population (households) participants was based on a random sampling technique. A conventional method was applied to isolate and identify Salmonella spp. from waste food samples using Salmonella-Shigella Agar (SSA). Of the samples analyzed, half of the remaining food samples were found to be infected with Salmonella spp. It was contaminated. Of the samples analyzed, 10 were 20 (50%), while the remaining samples were Salmonella negative. Current research shows that food waste is highly exposed to pathogens and plays an important role in food poisoning, which can spread a variety of food poisoning. Proper cooking, food processing, and proper hygiene during consumption are extremely important to prevent food poisoning and the occurrence of food poisoning.
