Deteksi Kontaminasi Bakteri Pada Produk Daging Ayam Yang Beredar Di Pasar Tradisional Kota Bandar Lampung dengan One Health

Abstract

Chicken meat is the most widely consumed source of animal protein among Indonesians, yet handling and distribution practices in traditional markets that are not fully hygienic may lead to zoonotic bacterial contamination. This study aimed to detect the presence of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli in chicken meat sold in traditional markets of Bandar Lampung City using a One Health approach. A total of 30 chicken meat samples were purposively collected from five traditional markets (Pasar Untung, Pasar Tempel, Pasar Koga, Pasar Tugu, and Pasar Gintung) and tested at the Veterinary Public Health Laboratory of Balai Veteriner Lampung, following Salmonella spp. isolation-identification and E. coli enumeration methods based on SNI 2897:2008. The results showed that all samples (30/30) were negative for Salmonella spp., whereas all samples (30/30) exceeded the maximum E. coli limit set by SNI 7388:2009 (<1 x 10¹ CFU/g), ranging from 1 x 10² to 1.8 x 10⁴ CFU/g with an average of 1.8 x 10³ CFU/g. These findings indicate a considerable fecal/sanitation contamination risk despite the low risk of the specific pathogen Salmonella, highlighting the need for improved hygiene practices in chicken meat handling at traditional markets within a One Health framework integrating animal, human, and environmental health.
