Physiological changes in Campylobacter jejuni on entry into stationary phase

Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 does not exhibit the general increase in cellular stress resistance on entry into stationary phase that is seen in most other bacteria. This is consistent with the lack of global stationary phase regulatory elements in this organism, deduced from an analysis of its genome sequence. We now show that C. jejuni NCTC 11168 does undergo certain changes in stationary phase, of a pattern not previously described. As cells entered stationary phase there was a change in membrane fatty acid composition, principally a decrease in the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and an increase in the content of cyclopropane and short-chain fatty acids. These changes in membrane composition were accompanied by an increase in the resilience of the cell membrane towards loss of integrity caused by pressure and an increase in cellular pressure resistance. By contrast, there were no major changes in resistance to acid or heat treatment. A similar pattern of changes in stress resistance on entry into stationary phase was seen in C. jejuni NCTC 11351, the type strain. These changes appear to represent a restricted physiological response to the conditions existing in stationary phase cultures, in an organism having limited capacity for genetic regulation and adaptation to environment.     

Effects of short-chain nitrocompounds against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in vitro

ABSTRACT:  Effects of 2-nitro-1-propanol, 2-nitroethanol, nitroethane, and 2-nitro-methyl-propionate (0, 10, and 20 mM) on growth of Campylobacter jejuni were tested during culture in Bolton broth adjusted to pH 5.6, 7.0, or 8.2. The nitrocompounds were similarly tested against C. coli but at pH 8.2 only. Viable cell counts measured during incubation revealed main effects ( P < 0.05) of all nitrocompounds on the survivability of C. jejuni . An effect of pH ( P < 0.05) on the survivability of C. Jejuni during incubation with nitrocompounds was observed, with greater inhibition observed at pH 8.2 than at pH 5.6 or 7.0 for nitroethane, 2-nitro-l-propanol, and 2-nitroethanol, but not for 2-nitro-methyl-propionate, which showed greatest inhibition at pH 5.6. Except for 2-nitro-methyl-propionate, which was ineffective, all nitrocompounds elicited similar effects on C. coli . The effect of nitroethane and 2-nitro-l-propanol (10 mM) on naturally occurring Campylobacter was investigated during incubation of porcine fecal suspensions, where Campylobacter concentrations decreased more rapidly ( P < 0.05) in suspensions with added 2-nitro-l-propanol than in unsupplemented or nitroethane-supplemented suspensions, thus reiterating the superior inhibitory effect of 2-nitro-l-propanol.     

Survival of Campylobacter jejuni on beef and pork under vacuum packaged and retail storage conditions: examination of the role of natural meat microflora on C. jejuni survival

The ability of Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 11168 to survive on beef and pork stored under chilled, vacuum packaged and retail display conditions were examined. In addition, the effect of natural microflora on commercial beef and pork on the survival of C. jejuni under these storage conditions was examined. When sterile cores of beef and pork were inoculated with ∼10⁵ to 10⁶ cfu cm⁻²C. jejuni, and were stored under aerobic or vacuum packaged conditions at −1.5 or 4 °C, its numbers dropped significantly and C. jejuni could not be enumerated by direct plating after 21 d of the 6 wks study. In contrast, survival of C. jejuni on commercial vacuum packaged beef and pork was significantly enhanced, resulting in only 1 log cfu cm⁻² reduction at the end of 6 wks. During 7 d of display in a retail case, numbers of C. jejuni dropped quickly, but could be enumerated by direct plating even after the 7 d. The presence of high numbers of inoculated C. jejuni on beef and pork had no significant effect on the natural microflora numbers compared to uninoculated controls when the meat was stored either in vacuum or in a retail display case. These results show that natural microflora on vacuum packaged meat afford enhanced survival of C. jejuni present on the surfaces of both beef and pork when stored at refrigeration temperatures. Hence, strict hygienic practices or the implementation of decontamination technologies are recommended to ensure safety of meat with respect to this pathogen.     

Effect of refrigerated and frozen storage on the survival of Campylobacter jejuni in cooked chicken meat breast

This experimental work aimed to examine the survivability of Campylobacter jejuni in cooked chicken breast under several conditions: storage for 1, 3, and 7 d at refrigerated temperatures (4 °C) and for 20 d at frozen temperatures (-18 °C). In addition, storage at ambient temperature (26 to 28 °C) was involved. Chicken samples were inoculated with a mixed culture of C. jejuni strains (ATCC: 29428 and 33219) of known concentrations (50 and 500 CFU/g). Bacterial cells were recovered and enumerated using standard procedure (Preston method). Bacteria were not detected in the majority of samples stored at ambient temperature. Refrigeration reduced survivals in 95, 90, and 77.5% for samples inoculated with 500 CFU/g and kept for 1, 3, and 7 d, respectively. The maximum reduction reached 1 log(10) cycle for all refrigeration durations. It was observed that bacteria died in 17.5% of samples kept for 7 d at 4 °C. However, survivors in samples inoculated with 50 CFU/g were not detected in 50, 65, and 55% of samples kept for 1, 3, and 7 d, respectively. Freezing rendered survivors not detectable in 70% of samples inoculated with 50 CFU/g, while survived viable counts were reduced in 92.5% of samples inoculated with 500 CFU/g. These findings suggested that C. jejuni could be killed or just sublethally injured with or without reduction in viable counts under the investigated storage temperatures, which may indicate the ability of this bacterium to survive in chicken meat stored under refrigerated and frozen conditions.     

Validation of an Improved Method for Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in Foods

ABSTRACT:  Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 29428 and 33560 were inoculated separately into beef muscle, ground beef, and chicken skin to yield approximately 10 to 100 CFU/g of food sample. The samples were stored at 4 °C for 10 d. On days 0, 3, 7, and 10, enrichment cultures in Bolton broth supplemented with antibiotics, with and without blood supplementation were made for each sample, for 24 and 48 h following the Food and Agricultural Products Center (FAPC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) protocols. Enumeration of the organisms in the enrichment cultures was done on Campylobacter Karmali selective agar after 24 and 48 h of enrichment to compare the extent of growth in both protocols. There were no significant differences between counts recovered using the FDA and the FAPC methods for detection of Campylobacter jejuni for either strain in any of the food products tested ( P > 0.05). No significant differences were observed in performance of enrichment broth supplemented with and without blood ( P > 0.05). After 48 h of enrichment, the counts recovered were similar for all products. The organisms were detectable on all days of storage in raw chicken skin, beef, and ground beef samples after both 24 and 48 h of enrichment. The results from the FAPC method for detection of C. jejuni from food were not different from the FDA method. While in the proposed method incubation at 37 °C was adequate for the strains tested it is recommended that both enrichment temperatures be used for naturally contaminated samples to ensure detection of all strains that might be present.     

Prevalence and characterization of Campylobacter jejuni isolated from pasture flock poultry

The growing interest in organic and natural foods warrants a greater need for information on the food safety of these products. In this study, samples were taken from 2 pasture flock farms (N = 178; feed, water, drag swabs, and insect traps), pasture flock retail carcasses (N = 48) and 1 pasture flock processing facility (N = 16) over a period of 8 mo. A total of 105 Campylobacter isolates were obtained from 53 (30%), 36 (75%), and 16 (100%) samples from the farms, retail carcasses, and processing facility, respectively. Of the 105 isolates collected, 65 were C. jejuni, 31 were C. coli, and 9 were other Campylobacter spp. Using PCR, the C. jejuni isolates were further analyzed for virulence genes involved in colonization and survival (flaA, flaC, cadF, dnaJ, racR, cbrR), invasion (virB11, ciaB, pldA), protection against harsh conditions (sodB, htrA, clpA), toxin production (cdtA, cdtB, cdtC), siderophore transport (ceuE), and ganglioside mimicry (wlaN). In addition, the short variable region of the flaA locus (flaA SVR) was sequenced to determine the genetic diversity of the C. jejuni isolates. The flaA SVR diversity indices increased along the farm to carcass continuum. PCR-based analysis indicated a low prevalence of 5 genes involved in colonization (dnaJ, ciaB, pldA, racR, virB11). The results of this survey indicate that the prevalence of Campylobacter on organic retail carcasses is similar to prevalence reports of Campylobacter on conventional retail carcasses. However, the genetic diversity of the flaA SVR genotypes increased along the farm to carcass continuum that contrasted with conventional poultry studies. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of foodborne illness with poultry and poultry products being leading sources of infection. Free-range and pasture flock chickens are becoming more popular; however, there is an inherent biosecurity risk that can increase the prevalence of foodborne pathogens in these flocks. This study aimed to determine sources and characterize C. jejuni isolated from pasture flocks.

一种新的空肠弯曲菌外膜囊泡提取方法的建立

空肠弯曲菌（Campylobacter jejuni）外膜囊泡（outer membrane vesicles,OMVs）是其在生长过程中分泌到细胞外的球状小泡,主要含有外膜蛋白及一些周质空间的物质,对细菌的生存、定植、细菌与宿主细胞间的交流及致病机制发挥重要的作用。因此,开发一种高效提取方法是研究空肠弯曲菌OMVs生物学功能的关键。该研究发现在微需氧条件下,使用MH培养基培养空肠弯曲菌15 h后提取OMVs最为合适。在最优条件下,采用超滤浓缩法从菌液中提取OMVs,并使用0.22 μm的微孔滤头进一步过滤提取物除去鞭毛等杂质。为了表征所提取的OMVs质量,首先使用透射电镜技术,发现所提取的OMVs具有典型形态,大小在50~300 nm之间,所含杂质较少。SDS-PAGE电泳结果表明OMVs内部含有大量蛋白,含量可达40.50 mg/mL。最后利用外膜蛋白抗体成功证明所提取的物质的主要成分为OMVs。该研究成功建立了一种从液体培养基中提取空肠弯曲菌OMVs的提取体系,多种分析方法证明其提取效率高、质量较好,适用于后续空肠弯曲菌OMVs生物功能相关研究。

Influence of Gaseous Atmosphere on Morphology and Cellular Fatty Acid Composition of Campylobacter jejuni

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the effect of growth environment on morphology and fatty acid (FA) profiles of 2 strains of C ampylobacter jejuni (ATCC 29428 and 33560) grown under various gaseous conditions. Viable counts were determined by plate count and percentages of coccoid cells. FA profiles were measured by gas chromatography. Plate counts were lowest when cultures were grown in air and highest in CO₂ (10%), O₂ (5%), and N₂ (85%). For 29428, percentages of coccoid cells did not differ among treatments. For 33560, percentages of coccoid cells were greater than for 29428 and varied among treatments (13% to 87%). There were no significant ( P > 0.05) relationships between percentages of coccoid cells and amounts of individual or combinations of FA either between or within strains.

Development and application of a heterologous internal standard for polymerase-chain-reaction-based detection of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in foods

 A heterologous internal standard, termed "mimic", was developed for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in food. Mimic was designed to contain a heterologous DNA fragment of plasmid pUC18, flanked by a primer binding site, identical to the bacterial target DNA. Application of mimic in the PCR permitted its co-amplification together with the bacterial DNA with similar efficiency. As the length of the amplified products differed, they were easily detectable by agarose gel electrophoresis. The presence or absence of the mimic PCR product was indicative of the efficacy of the PCR. The use of approximately 60 mimic molecules per reaction was optimal for determining the reliability of the diagnostic PCR assays without decreasing the detection limit. This system for the detection of the two species of Campylobacter was successfully applied in routine food surveillance. Received: 4 January 1999
