The primary reason of global spread is microbial contamination and its transfer through tainted water and food sources. Salmonella species are important infectious pathogens that are members of the enteriobacteriacea family and can infect both humans and animals with illnesses. Due to the use of contaminated drinking water in preparations, street meals in India are frequently the cause of contracting Salmonella spp. infection. Flavored water of Panipuri (Indian Street Snack) is one of the most well-known examples. Molecular identification of harmful microorganisms is now a quick and reliable assay technique. Therefore, the goal of the current investigation was to identify Salmonella spp. using the invA gene and the prevalence of chloremphenicol resistance within using the cmlA gene in flavoured water samples of Panipuri that were afterwards randomly collected from food vendors on the streets of Bhopal. For culture of bacteria Salmonella Selective Enrichment broth supplemented with novobiocin was used. After incubation, the water culture was centrifuged, and the DNA was isolated and submitted to PCR to determine the incidence of the cmlA gene and the existence of the invA gene using a standard PCR methodology. On a 1% agarose gel, the target gene was found in the PCR result. Based on the presence of the invA gene unique to Salmonella spp., all 30 of the samples were found to be positive for the presence of Salmonella spp. However, based on the existence of cmlA genes, it was shown that 53% of the samples had a genotypically observed incidence of chloremphenicol resistance. The results of this brief investigation point to an alarming situation regarding the incidence of probable drug-resistant salmonellosis and diarrhoea dissemination.
