Exact excerpt

Overall, high prevalence of presumptive E. coli (42.1%), Salmonella spp. (29.2%), Shigella spp. (18.6%), and Listeria spp. (13.5%) was observed across water, beef, and environmental samples, with significant variation by sample type and source (p < 0.05). The findings demonstrated a high prevalence of possible pathogen strains, and the safety indicator bacteria exceeded recommended safety limits along the beef supply chain.
