Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in dry sausage fermented by probiotic lactic acid bacteria

Probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, L rhamnosus E‐97800, L rhamnosus LC‐705 and commercial Pediococcus pentosaceus were studied for their ability to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in dry sausage. The strains were able to produce technologically high‐quality dry sausage. The number of E coli O157:H7 decreased from approximately 5 to approximately 2 log cfu g⁻¹ It was concluded that the above‐mentioned strains and the commercial culture were equally effective in inhibiting E coli O157:H7. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Fate of Escherichia coli O157: H7 in Chinese-Style Sausage During the Drying Step of the Manufacturing Process as Affected by the Drying Condition and Curing Agent

In this study, Chinese-style sausage was subjected to three different air-blast drying conditions commonly employed during the manufacturing process. The fate of Escherichia coli O157: H7 during the drying period was determined and compared. The effect of curing agents on the survival of E coli O157: H7 was also identified. Results showed that populations of E coli O157: H7 decreased ca 1.51 Log CFU g^-1 in sausage containing curing agents after a 6-h drying period at 50°C. However, the number of viable cells of E coli O157: H7 increased slightly in sausage without curing agents. When subjected to air-blast drying at 55°C for 6 h or at 55°C for 2·5 h and then 60°C for 3·5 h, a reduction in the number of viable cells of E coli O157: H7 was observed in sausage with or without curing agents. The reduction was more significant in sausage containing curing agents than in those without curing agents. No viable E coli O157: H7 was detected after 6 h of drying in samples containing curing agents, while the control samples still contained a viable E coli O157: H7 population of ca 2·65–4·36 Log CFU g^-1. After drying the sausage at 55°C for 4 h, inactivation of E coli O157: H7 increased in the presence of 30·00 g kg^-1 sodium chloride or 1·50 g kg^-1 sodium sorbate. On the other hand, the presence of 0·07–0·15 g kg^-1 sodium nitrite did not increase the inactivation of E coli O157: H7 compared to that in the control. © 1997 SCI.     

Escherichia coli O157: H7 Growth in Laboratory Media as Affected by Phenolic Antioxidants

Five strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 with ATCC 11775 E. coli were grown in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth (pH 5.8, adjusted with citric acid) and treated with butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hy-droxytoluene (BHT), tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and propyl gallate (PG) individually or combined. Additives ranged from 100–400 ppm with inocula levels between 5 and 104 CFU/mL in tissue culture plates or in flasks; samples were incubated at 4°C or 37°C for 24 hr. Additive antimicrobial efficacy varied with inoculum level and incubation temperature. BHA at <200 ppm was bactericidal on all strains. Poly-hydroxyl additives (TBHQ, PG) were less effective at 4°C. BHA-BHT combinations were synergistic at 4°C.

Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat product brines containing antimicrobials

Brine solution injection of beef contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 on its surface may lead to internalization of pathogen cells and/or cross-contamination of the brine, which when recirculated, may serve as a source of new product contamination. This study evaluated survival of E. coli O157:H7 in brines formulated without or with antimicrobials. The brines were formulated in sterile distilled water (simulating the composition of freshly prepared brines) or in a nonsterile 3% meat homogenate (simulating the composition of recirculating brines) at concentrations used to moisture-enhance meat to 110% of initial weight, as follows: sodium chloride (NaCl, 5.5%) + sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 2.75%), NaCl + sodium pyrophosphate (2.75%), or NaCl + STP combined with potassium lactate (PL, 22%), sodium diacetate (SD, 1.65%), PL + SD, lactic acid (3.3%), acetic acid (3.3%), citric acid (3.3%), nisin (0.0165%) + ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA, 200 mM), pediocin (11000 AU/mL) + EDTA, sodium metasilicate (2.2%), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC, 5.5%), or hops beta acids (0.0055%). The brines were inoculated (3 to 4 log CFU/mL) with rifampicin-resistant E. coli O157:H7 (8-strain composite) and stored at 4 or 15 °C (24 to 48 h). Immediate (0 h) pathogen reductions (P < 0.05) of 1.8 to ≥ 2.4 log CFU/mL were observed in brines containing CPC or sodium metasilicate. Furthermore, brines formulated with lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, nisin + EDTA, pediocin + EDTA, CPC, sodium metasilicate, or hops beta acids had reductions (P < 0.05) in pathogen levels during storage; however, the extent of pathogen reduction (0.4 to > 2.4 log CFU/mL) depended on the antimicrobial, brine type, and storage temperature and time. These data should be useful in development or improvement of brine formulations for control of E. coli O157:H7 in moisture-enhanced meat products. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Results of this study should be useful to the meat industry for developing or modifying brine formulations to reduce the risk of E. coli O157:H7 in moisture-enhanced meat products.

Modeling the Fate of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica in the Agricultural Environment: Current Perspective

The significance of fresh vegetable consumption on human nutrition and health is well recognized. Human infections with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica linked to fresh vegetable consumption have become a serious public health problem inflicting a heavy economic burden. The use of contaminated livestock wastes such as manure and manure slurry in crop production is believed to be one of the principal routes of fresh vegetable contamination with E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica at preharvest stage because both ruminant and nonruminant livestock are known carriers of E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica in the environment. A number of challenge‐testing studies have examined the fate of E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica in the agricultural environment with the view of designing strategies for controlling vegetable contamination preharvest. In this review, we examined the mathematical modeling approaches that have been used to study the behavior of E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica in the manure, manure‐amended soil, and in manure‐amended soil–plant ecosystem during cultivation of fresh vegetable crops. We focused on how the models have been applied to fit survivor curves, predict survival, and assess the risk of vegetable contamination preharvest. The inadequacies of the current modeling approaches are discussed and suggestions for improvements to enhance the applicability of the models as decision tools to control E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica contamination of fresh vegetables during primary production are presented.     

Attachment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to abiotic surfaces of cooking utensils

We examined the attachment of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 to abiotic surfaces of cooking utensils. When the cell suspension in 0.85% NaCl (about 100 cells/mL, 10 mL) was contacted with various abiotic surfaces (square pieces, 25 cm2) at 25 °C for 20 min, the number of attached cells varied depending on the types of abiotic materials. The pathogen well attached to stainless steel (about 50 cells/25 cm2), pure titanium (35 to 45 cells/25 cm2), and glass (about 20 cells/25 cm2), but little attached to aluminum foil and plastics, irrespective of strains used. Fewer cells (below 10 cells/25 cm2) attached to stainless steel, pure titanium, and glass surfaces conditioned with aseptically sliced beef (sirloin) and autoclaved beef tallow at 25 °C for 20 min, but bovine serum albumin did not reduce the number of attached cells. The cells grown at 15 °C to the stationary phase (OD660 = about 2.8) less attached to the abiotic surfaces than those grown at 25 °C and 37 °C. When we pretreated the cells at 37 °C for 2 h with 50 μM N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (HHL), the number of cells attached to stainless steel was reduced by 70%. The number of cells attached to cooking utensils seemed to change depending on types of abiotic materials, adhesion of beef tallow to abiotic surfaces, growth temperature of the pathogen, and HHL-producing bacteria.
