Abstract

Nowadays, the public consumes a lot of Thai tea drinks, which are among the most well-liked drink varieties. Alcohol serves as both a suitable substrate for the development of microorganisms and a good mediator in the spread of illness. The application of sanita-tion hygiene that does not meet the requirements in the processing process up to serving Thai tea drinks can cause bacterial contamination. The Salmonella typhi bacteria is one of the microbes that contaminates beverages. At 1,628 instances overall in 2021, typhoid fever ranked ninth among the top 10 most common illnesses, according to statistics from the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Health Office. In Poasia District and Baruga District of Kendari City, this study seeks to determine if Thai tea beverages contain Salmonella typhi bacteria in 2022. With a comprehensive sample methodology, this study design combines descriptive observational research with a sampling strategy. The study’s findings show that, out of the ten samples of Thai tea beverages sold in Poasia District, four of those samples tested positive for Salmonella typhi bacteria, while one of the ten samples sold in Baruga District tested positive for the same bacterium. The conclu-sion of this study is that there are 5 positive samples containing Salmonella typhi bacte-ria.
