| Summary: | This paper was designed to evaluate the kitchen insects bacterial mechanical
vectors (Cockroaches) and its impact on individual and community health in Taif,
KSA, the mean incidence of bacterial loads turbidity were (3rd, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th
group); (98.0, 97.2, 96.9, 96.5 and 96.2%) respectively, the mean was 96.96%.
The mean incidence of bacterial growth evaluation were (+++ = heavy growth) in
all groups, were in (3rd, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th group); (78.5, 77.2, 76.3, 76.1 and
76.0%) respectively, the mean revealed 76.82%. The mean incidence of bacterial
Colony Forming Unit (CFU) / mL evaluation, the mean was (3.3 X 105) / mL,
were (3.8, 3.5, 3.3, 3.1 and 2.9 X105) / mL, for (3rd, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th group)
respectively. The mean incidence of bacterial Spp were isolated, which produced
12 bacterial Spp were (E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Proteus Spp and Citrobacter Spp) as (19.1, 16.2, 13.3, 12.2 and 8.3%) respectively,
followed by bacteria (Shigella Spp, Staph. Spp, Strept. Spp, Serratia Spp, Bacillus
Spp, Salmonella Spp and Campylobacter Spp) were (7.5, 6.4, 4.5, 4.2, 3.8, 2.4 and
2.1%) respectively. The conclusions confirmed the role of Cockroaches as a
bacterial mechanical vector, which transferred and dropped of the pathogenic
bacteria which caused food contamination, food poising and infectious diseases,
that effected on the individuals and community health. So the insect control center
(Insecticiders) must be arranged to eradicate the Cockroaches and also the kitchens
hygiene must be improved to protect the individuals and community health. |
