Objective. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2013 to April 2014 to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus from beef of Addis Ababa Abattoir and butcher shops in Addis Ababa. Seven hundred sixty-eight swab samples were taken from the abattoir and butcher carcasses using a systematic random sampling. One hundred twenty swab samples were also taken from hooks, cutting tables, and knives from the abattoir. Staphylococcus aureus positive isolates were taken for antibiotic susceptibility test. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the abattoir and butcher workers to assess the hygienic practice and possible risk factors regarding the contamination of meat. Results. The prevalence of S. aureus in the abattoir, butcher, cutting table, hook, and knife was 9.4%, 19.8%, 15%, 15%, and 22.5%, respectively. The prevalence of S. aureus in the knife and butcher was found to be 2.8 (OR = 2.8, CI = 1.2–6.4) and 2.4 (OR = 2.4, CI = 1.6–3.6) times that of the abattoir results (p<0.01). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was also conducted on 133 isolates of S. aureus using the disc diffusion susceptibility method. Bacitracin, neomycin, and methicillin were found to be 100% resistant to S. aureus. To avoid the presence of pathogenic Staphylococcus isolates, preventive measures using good hygienic practices during slaughtering and handling of the beef carcasses are recommended.

The Relationship

Abstract Background Abscess formation and bacteremia following intramuscular injections are rare complications from vaccine injections, and they are most commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the etiological agents that can be found during this complication. Spain started to vaccine its population at the beginning of 2021. We noticed an important increase in Staphylococcus aureus infections and bacteremia during this period of time, leading us to study the relationship with previous vaccination. Methods In this case series we present a cohort of twenty patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) during the study period (January 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021), attended in our Institution (Hospital Nuestra Señora de Sonsoles, Ávila, Spain). We tried to establish or at least create the debate of a possible relationship with a previous COVID-19 vaccine. Results From January 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, 20 SAB were identified in our Institution. 13/20 patients were vaccinated (all of them with the mRNA vaccine type). 5/13 (38%) were male and 8/13 (62%) female. 10 of them (77%) received at least one dose of the vaccine before hospital admission, and 3 of them (23%) after admission. From the 10 previously COVID-19-vaccinated patients treated for SAB (CVPSAB), 4 died - 40% (2 deaths directly related to the SAB). Conclusion Although SAB may be a rare side effect after intramuscular injections or vaccines, it always implies an outstanding risk due to potential complications. Even if our study is not able to directly establish a link between SAB and previous vaccination, it implies a possible association between the vaccine injection and a threating disease (SAB). We should be aware of this probable relationship, so that we can maximize preventive measures. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

summaryA review of 50 hospital-based outbreaks of food poisoning which were reported in Scotland during 1973–7, is described. At least 1530 persons consuming hospital-prepared food were involved. Thirty-one episodes were associated with Clostridium perfringens (C. welchii), 11 were due to food-borne salmonella infection, three to enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus, and five incidents were of undetermined aetiology. This differs noticeably from the experience in England and Wales where salmonellas appear to predominate as the main cause of hospital outbreaks. Twenty-two incidents occurred in hospitals for psychiatric or mentally subnormal patients, and ten others were located in geriatric units. Only 33 hospitals were involved in the 50 outbreaks as nine hospitals experienced two or more episodes.The role of the hospital in the occurrence of food poisoning may be over-emphasized in comparison with other catering establishments, as outbreaks are more readily recognized and laboratory facilities are usually available for investigation, but it is also believed that many episodes may not be reported. The peculiar problems of the hospital-catering service and particularly those of the older long-stay hospitals, are discussed in relation to preventive measures which would minimize the hazards of food poisoning.
