Summary:is one of the most common causes of foodborne disease worldwide, due to the consumption of food contaminated by their toxins. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and the antimicrobial resistance of isolated from sausages in Meknes city of Morocco. A total of 156 samples (Beef sausages, Turkey sausages, and Artisanal sausages "Merguez") were collected from different shopping sites (butchery, supermarket, street vendors, and weekly market "Souk") and used for the isolation of . All the isolated strains were tested for their antimicrobials resistance to 16 antibiotics. Our results showed the presence of in 63 samples (40.38%). Furthermore, the antimicrobial resistance study showed that 84.13% of isolated were resistant to streptomycin, 76.20% to tetracycline, 42.86% to ampicillin, 41.27% to doxycycline, 38.1% to penicillin G, and 19.05% to chloramphenicol with the presence of 25 different phenotypic profiles. However, all isolated strains were sensitive to oxacillin, cefoxitin, gentamicin, and vancomycin. The findings of this study revealed consumption of sausages as a potential risk of foodborne poisonings because of its contamination with the multi-resistant strains of . Moreover, this contamination is related to the season, sampling sites and the origin of the raw material.
