Ítem Solo Metadatos Coliformes totales y escherichia coli en superficies inertes en contacto con el consumo de los alimentos de los patios de comida del mercado “25 de Junio” Gualaceo – Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Gomezcuello Samaniego, Juan Pablo; Villavicencio Figueroa, Layla Carolina; Bravo Crespo, David Israel; 0105008700; 0105306500Introduction: Foodborne diseases (FBD) are caused by unsafe food consumption by humans, representing a significant public health problem of mortality and morbidity, taking into account that the most common pathogens include Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Enterohemorrhagic E. coli, impacting millions of people annually. Objective: To determine the presence of E. coli and total coliforms (TC) on inert surfaces (IS) that come into contact with food in the "25 de Junio" market food stalls in the Gualaceo canton, Ecuador. Methodology: The approach was descriptive observational with a non-experimental cross-sectional design to determine E. coli and total coliforms. The investigation universe comprised 120 samples of inert surfaces collected from different locations and materials within the study area. Results: The presence of E. coli and its colony-forming units (CFU) presented a low incidence, with 31.7%, and the presence of total coliforms represented 69.2%, depending on the location and material of the study area analyzed. Conclusion: The 120 food-contact food service establishments analyzed found that most cafeterias located outside the study area exhibited high levels of CFU contamination for E. coli and total coliforms.
