This document outlines a study that aims to determine the presence of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria in juices sold at two schools in Cagayan, Philippines. Records show increasing cases of Enterobacteriaceae-induced diseases. The study will examine juice samples from stores and stalls near the schools for three species of Enterobacteriaceae - E. coli, Salmonella typhosa, and Shigella dysenteriae - using culture media and biochemical tests. Factors like water source, sanitation, and food handling practices will also be evaluated to identify their relationship to any bacteria found. The results could help assess food safety and educate vendors on preventing transmission of foodborne illness.

Recent research regarding the gastrointestinal microbiome has irrefutably confirmed the fact that the
microbial inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract, and their astonishing scope of metabolic activities,
are at the very core of health and numerous disease processes. It is also clear that clinical microbiology
testing should be optimized to address the relative abundance of all bacterial species present in a stool
specimen.
Tackling the U.S. Healthcare System’s Infectious Disease Management ProblemViewics
The United States healthcare system has a serious infectious disease management problem. The antibiotic resistance crisis is widespread, serious, costly, and deadly. Delays in pathogen identification lead to poor clinical outcomes, including increased mortality risk. And, optimally managing outbreaks is critical to health systems whose reimbursement is tied to the health of a population, such as ACOs.
Eleanor Herriman, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Viewics led an informative panel discussion with industry leaders on the issues surrounding the infectious disease management crisis. Margret Oethinger, MD, Ph.D., Medical Director of Providence Health & Services, and Susan E. Sharp, Ph.D., DABMM, FAAM, Regional Director of Microbiology and the Molecular Infectious Disease Laboratories, Department of Pathology, Kaiser Permanente and President-Elect, American Society for Microbiology cover the current state of infectious disease management in the U.S., and what can be done to improve it.
You’ll learn about:
• The magnitude of the U.S. health system’s infectious disease management problem
• The most serious concerns and trends for healthcare institutions and communities across the nation
• The most promising solutions to health systems’ most urgent infectious disease management challenges
Sanitation Practices of Street Food Vendors in Cabanatuan CityIJAEMSJORNAL
This study delved on the sanitation practices of street food vendors in Cabanatuan City. It employed descriptive research design which involved the vendors and their customers. Majority of street food vendors belonged to the age bracket30 to 39 years, have had at least finished secondarylevel of education, married, hadmore than ten yearsof experience as a street food vendor; and spent fourto eight hours per day invending activities. Their attendanceto food safety and sanitationtrainings had either none, or only one to four trainings to some. Findings further revealed that self-assessments of the respondent-street food vendors on the areas of cleanliness such as hand sanitation, proper work attire, and personal health and hygiene; and food preparation, display, and storagewere consistently higher than the assessmentsmade by their customers. Likewise, strong correlation between the respondents’ profile and their sanitation practices was only found in the length of experience.

2. CHAPTER I Background of the Study Objectives Significance of the Study Scope and Delimitation
3. Records of PHO and CVMC show that there has been an increase in occurrence of Enterobacteriaceae-induced diseases. One factor that may be associated to the increase in number of cases is the continuous increase in the number of stalls and stores with inadequate sanitation The researchers will examine the presence of Enterobacteriaceae in juice drinks, rather than in solid foods A. Background of the Study
4. Juice drinks will be taken from stalls and stores located within and nearby CSU-AC and CNHS If proven that Enterobacteriaceae exists in the juices, the researchers will determine if factors (other than hand washing) such as source of water, environmental condition, etc. may be the reason for the presence of the said organism in the juice drink It is therefore the researchers aim to prove that the growing number of stores and stalls is indeed associated to the increased cases of Enterobacteriaceae-induced diseases A. Background of the Study
5. B. Objectives General Objective: The study aims to determine the presence of Enterobacteria in juices sold at Cagayan National Highschool and Cagayan State University-Andrews Campus. Identify the different species of Enterobacteria such as E.coli, S. typhosa and S. dysenteriae present in juices sold by stores and stalls at Cagayan National Highschool and Cagayan State University-Andrews Campus. Specific Objectives:
6. 2. Compare the occurrence of the different Enterobacteria species. B. Objectives 3. Determine the factors associated to the occurrence of the different Enterobacteria species 4. Determine the extent of the vendor’s knowledge, practices, attitude towards proper sanitation and food handling
7. Department of Health Juice Vendors Students of CSU-AC and CNHS Other consumers C. Significance of the Study
9. Enterobactericeae species: Salmonella typhosa Shigelladysenteriae Escherichia coli Stalls and stores within the vicinity of 30 meter radius from CNHS and CSU-AC Samples to be examined will be juice drinks that are manually prepared by the vendor regardless of its flavor, type (whether powdered or natural fruit juice) and source of water D. Scope and Delimitation
10. From a total of 30 stalls and stores, only 23 will be chosen from which samples will be taken and the vendors of each will be used as respondents to the questionnaires that will be administered. Three replications will be carried out McConkey Agar will be the culture media used IMVIC Reaction will be the biochemical test applied D. Scope and Delimitation
12. A. The Paradigm Independent Variable Dependent Variable a. Juices sold by stores and stalls b. Water source c. Sanitation d. Vendor’s hygiene e. Food handling f. Environmental condition Growth of Enterobactriaceae in McConkey Agar
13. The presence of bacteria in food and water that every individual consumes could bring about undesirable effects such as diseases. Therefore, correct hand washing and proper food handling should be observed to eliminate the occurrence of these food borne diseases. Since most of food handlers or vendors are not well-educated regarding proper sanitation and proper hygiene, it is expected that their knowledge, practices and attitude contribute greatly to the transmission of Enterobacteria. B. Conceptual Framework
14. The paradigm shows both dependent and independent variables of which the factors such as juices, water source, sanitation, vendor’s hygiene, food handling, and environmental condition could bring about the growth of Enterobacteria in the culture media. Moreover, once proven that Enterobacteria are indeed present in any of the juices, it is assumed that consumers of such juices are at great risk of acquiring Enterobacteria-induced diseases; and it is also assumed that the environmental sanitation, and orientation of the vendor with regards to proper sanitation is unsatisfactory.
