    Irrespective of its health effects, street foods are very popular with the consumers. The main
    purpose of this research was to study the biosafety of Escherichia coli in popiah, a Malaysian
    street food sold at a roadside food stall and a restaurant in Sri Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia,
    using the combination of the most probable number (MPN)-Polymerase Chain Reaction
    (PCR) assay-plating on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar methods. Using these biomolecular
    methods, E. coli was detected in 12/15 (80%) and 11/15 (73%) of the collected samples from
    the roadside food stall and the restaurant respectively. The incidence of stx virulence-associated
    genes was detected in 1/15 (7%) among the E. coli isolated from samples taken from the
    roadside food stall while the E. coli isolated from the restaurant was 3/15 (20%). The density
    of E. coli ranged from 1100 MPN/g and the density of E. coli positive with stx genes
    was
