### Mango Wedges Sold by Mobile Vendors Hold Antibiotic-Resistant Microorganisms
Based on LSD analysis (group versus group contrast), at the last day of storage (day 5), all antimicrobial cocktails showed a significant reduction (\(p>0.05\)) in cell counts compared with the control indicating their efficiency to simultaneously diminish FSBM in mango wedges. The maximum cell reduction of 56.03% was registered for T2-cocktail, followed by T5 (55.61% reduction), T1 (52.10% reduction), and T6, T7, and T4 with 42.88%, 37.85%, and 31.93% reduction, respectively. We suggest that the efficiency of CFS cocktail to decrease the overall cell counts might be related to the presence of both acids and peptides that work synergistically as a hurdle to block colonization by undesirable microorganisms (Table 4). By overloading the dose of UTNGt28, a significant difference (\(p>0.05\)) in the overall cell counts reduction was observed at day 5 of storage for T2 and T5-cocktail, indicating that the dose of Gt28 might enhance the global killing event. \begin{table}

Table 3: Antimicrobial resistance (%) of isolates selected from mango ready-to-eat wedges. The Antimicrobial Cocktails T2 and T5 Inhibit Salmonella/Shigella and to Some Extent E. coli Growth in Mango Wedges  
The effect of antimicrobial cocktails was analyzed individually for _Salmonella_ (2 strain mix), _Shigella_ (1 strain), and _E. coli_ (2 strain mix) in selective media at day 5 of storage. In the control samples, the cell counts showed about the same amount at the end of storage indicating the adaptation of the microorganisms to the mango surface (Figure 3). When compared to the individual strain and its counterpart control, a significant reduction (\(p>0.05\)) was registered for all antimicrobial treatments. The most significant reduction (\(p>0.05\)) was detected for _Salmonella_ and _Shigella_ for treated mango with T2 and T5 combinations. For the untreated mango, _Salmonella_ yielded 5.67 log CFU/g and _Shigella_ yielded 5.24 log CFU/g, while the application of T2 and T5 resulted in a significant decrease of the cell counts (\(p>0.05\)), _Salmonella_ yielded 0.77 log CFU/g and _Shigella_, 0.1 log CFU/g, respectively, which corresponded to the incorporation of three times
