S. aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive spherical bacterium
approximately 1 m in diameter. Its cells form grape-like
clusters, since cell division takes place in more than one plane.
It is often found as a commensal associated with skin, skin
glands, and mucous membranes, particularly in the nose of healthy
individuals (Crossley & Archer, 1997). It has been estimated that
approx. 2030% of the general population are S. aureus carriers
(Heyman, 2004). On a rich medium, S. aureus forms medium size
golden colonies. On sheep blood agar plates, colonies of S.
aureus often cause -hemolysis (Ryan & Ray, 2004). The golden
pigmentation of S. aureus colonies is caused by the presence of
many are not, having spread beyond their place of origin and
enjoyed locally for their exotic or unusual ingredients and
flavors. Most street foods are considered both finger food and
fast food and are more reasonably priced than restaurant meals.
2.5 billion People worldwide eat street food every day, according
to a 2007 Food and Agriculture Organization study(FDA, 2007).
According to Ghosh et al. (2007), street foods are perceived
to be a major public health risk due to lack of basic
infrastructure and services, difficulty in controlling the large
numbers of street food vending operations because of their
diversity, mobility and temporary nature. A general lack of
factual knowledge about the epidemiological significance of many
street vended foods, poor knowledge of street vendors in basic
food safety measures and inadequate public awareness of hazards
posed by certain foods has severely hampered the deployment of a
precise scientific approach to this very serious issue of public
health and safety. Various studies have identified the sources of
food safety issues involved in street foods to be microorganism
belonging to the genus Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Clostridium,
Vibrio, Campylobacter Staphylococcus,
Clostridium, Vibrio, Campylobacter, Listeria, and Salmonella.
