The problem became worst in Ethiopia as the result of the tradition of eating raw cattle meat. Salmonella<\/jats:italic> species and Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> are important food-borne pathogens associated with meat contamination. Hence the current study aimed to assess the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella<\/jats:italic> species and Extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase producing Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> from raw cattle meat at butcher houses in Hawassa city, Sidama regional state, Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethod<\/jats:title>\nA cross-sectional study was done on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella<\/jats:italic> species and Extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase producing E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> from raw cattle meat at butcher houses in Hawassa city from September to December 2020. Socio-demographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire and raw cattle meat and swab samples were collected from meat cutting equipment. The collected samples transported using icebox to Hawassa University College of Medicine and Health Sciences Microbiology Laboratory for identification. Samples were grown on different culture media and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were determined by using Kirby disc diffusion method. Data were entered and analyzed into SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics were done and P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResult<\/jats:title>\nThe overall prevalence of salmonella<\/jats:italic> and ESBL producing E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> among 556 samples collected from 278 butcher houses was 36 (6.47%) (95% CI: 1.68\u20131.79) of which 13 (2.3%) were ESBL producing E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> and 23(4.1%) were salmonella<\/jats:italic> species. Poor hand washing practice (AOR = 2.208; 95% CI: 1.249\u20133.904) and touching birr while selling meat (AOR = 0.75; 95% CI: (0.433\u20131.299) were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of salmonella s<\/jats:italic>pecies and E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> on cattle meat. The isolates showed moderate levels of resistance (60\u201370%) against Amoxicillin\/ clavulanic acid and high susceptibility (85\u2013100%) against gentamicin, cotrimoxazole, ceftazidime, and tetracycline and the overall multidrug resistance was 33.3%.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion<\/jats:title>\nThis study revealed moderately high prevalence of salmonella<\/jats:italic> and E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> due to poor hygiene and sanitation practices in the butcher shops. Furthermore, the existence of ESBL producing E<\/jats:italic>.coli<\/jats:italic> isolates clearly indicate the possible threat to public health. Therefore, inspection by the right agencies must be implemented in order to prevent food-borne outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0262308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]],"date-time":"2022-01-14T19:37:20Z","timestamp":1642189040000},"page":"e0262308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["High prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of salmonella species and extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamase producing Escherichia coli from raw cattle meat at butcher houses in Hawassa city, Sidama regional state, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Woyinshet","family":"Worku","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moges","family":"Desta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2510-604X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tadesse","family":"Menjetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0262308.ref001","article-title":"Assessment of Microbiological Safety and Quality of Mince Meat and Meat Contact Surfaces in Selected Butcher Shops of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia","volume":"9","author":"Negussie Kibrom","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Food Quality"},{"key":"pone.0262308.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.21608\/bvmj.2018.44292","article-title":"Prevalence of Salmonella and Escherichia Coli Organisms as Bacteriological Hazards in some Meat Products","volume":"34","author":"Saad","year":"2018","journal-title":"Benha Veterinary Medical Journal"},{"key":"pone.0262308.ref003","first-page":"19","article-title":"Review on Major Food-Borne Zoonotic Bacterial Pathogens","volume":"2020","author":"Engidaw","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Tropical Medicine"},{"key":"pone.0262308.ref004","first-page":"12","article-title":"Antibiotic resistance patterns of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio isolated from chicken, pork, bufalo and goat meat in eastern Nepal","author":"Bantawa","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Research Notes"},{"key":"pone.0262308.ref005","author":"Nagm","year":"2018","journal-title":"Prevalence of Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Aerobic plate count in Meat Products"},{"key":"pone.0262308.ref006","volume-title":"World Health Organization Global Estimates and Regional Comparisons of the Burden of Foodborne Disease in 2010","author":"S.
