A liquor consisting of whole egg, saccharose (25% w/v) and ethanol (7.0% w/v) was artificially contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis, S. typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus (three different strains), Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes. After 3 weeks of incubation at 22°C the numbers of Salmonella, S. aureus and L. monocytogenes decreased more than 3 log10 units. Under such conditions, however, the total number of microorganisms increased 3 log10 units. At 4°C the decrease of pathogenic microorganisms was much slower and a decrease of 3 log10 units was observed only after 7 weeks of incubation. Egg-nog, without ethanol, incubated at 22°C allowed growth of Salmonella and S. aureus, while the numbers of B. cereus spores remained unchanged. Vegetative cells of B. cereus as well as L. monocytogenes decreased in numbers. However, after prolonged incubation the numbers of L. monocytogenes increased significantly.  相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of Lactobacillus sakei 1, a bacteriocin-producing (bac+) lactic acid bacterium (LAB), isolated from Brazilian fresh pork sausage to inhibit two Listeria monocytogenes strains (serotypes 4b and 1/2a) on cooked, sliced vacuum-packaged ham. L. sakei ATCC 15521 was used as a non-bacteriocin producer (bac). L. monocytogenes (ca. 2 log CFU/mL) and LAB (ca. 6 log CFU/ml) were inoculated on the sterilized ham, vacuum-sealed and incubated at 8 °C for 10 days. A treatment with the bacteriocin Chrisin (UI/ml) was included. Both L. monocytogenes strains were significantly inhibited in the presence of either bac+ and bac LAB in comparison to the control (L. monocytogenes alone). Using a bacteriocinogenic strain of LAB did not offer an additional barrier to listerial growth in the studied meat system. The application of Chrisin did not affect at all the growth of L. monocytogenes.  相似文献

The effects of concentration of NaCl (0.5 to 12.5%), methyl paraben (0.0 to 0.2%), sodium propionate (0.3%), sodium benzoate (0.1%), potassium sorbate (0.3%), pH (>5.9) temperature (4 to 30°C), storage time (up to 58 d) and inoculum (>105 to >10−2 per ml) on the log10 probability percentage of one cell of Listeria spp. to initiate growth in a broth system were evaluated in a factorial design study. At pH 5.96 and temperature ranging from 4 to 30°C the concentrations of sodium propionate, potassium sorbate, and sodium benzoate examined allowed growth of L. monocytogenes with lag phases at 4°C of 18, 27 and 21 days, respectively. For 0.1 and 0.2% methyl paraben growth of all Listeria spp. was initiated at 8°C and 30°C, respectively. At pH 6, concentration of 12% NaCl supported the growth of L. monocytogenes at 8 to 30°C, whereas 12.5% inhibited all Listeria species. Four regression equations were derived relating probability of growth initiation to temperature, concentrations of NaCl and preservatives storage time, and Listeria species specific effects. From these equations, the number of cells needed for growth initiation can be calculated. The impact of this type of quantitative study and its possible application on the development of microbial standards for foods is discussed.  相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 cultivated in nutrient-rich medium (brain heart infusion, BHI) or starved in minimal medium (10% filter sterilized pond water and 90% sterilized distilled water) were investigated for their initial attachment to austenitic stainless steel No. 4 with satin finish at 4 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C, 37 °C, or 42 °C. A droplet (10 μl) containing  107 CFU/ml of L. monocytogenes suspended in BHI or minimal medium was placed on the stainless steel surface. After holding in saturated humidity for 3 h at the desired temperature the surface was washed and prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using SEM, attachment of L. monocytogenes was determined by counting cells remaining on the surface. When L. monocytogenes cultivated in BHI were used, with the exception of the number of attached cells being lower at 42 °C than at 37 °C and 30 °C, the number of attached cells increased with increasing temperature (P < 0.05). When L. monocytogenes starved in minimal medium were used, the number of attached cells also increased with increasing attachment temperature (P < 0.05), but the number of attached cells at 42 °C was lower than that at the other temperatures. The attachment of L. monocytogenes to stainless steel surface was greater when cultivated in rich medium of BHI vs starved in the minimal medium.  相似文献

Lactobacillus fermentum was substituted for nitrite to produce cured pink color in a Chinese-style sausage. Treatments included inoculations (104, 106, and 108 CFU/g meat) followed by fermentation at 30 °C for 8 h and then at 4 °C for 16 h. Control sausage (with sodium nitrite, 60 mg/kg meat) was cured at 4 °C for 24 h without L. fermentum. The UV–Vis spectra of pigment extract from L. fermentum-treated sausage were identical to that of nitrosylmyoglobin (NO-Mb) formed in nitrite-treated control. The NO-Mb concentration and the colorimetric a* value of sausage treated with 108 CFU/g meat of L. fermentum essentially replicated those in nitrite-cured meat. Free amino acid content in sausage treated with L. fermentum was greater and the pH slightly lower compared with the nitrite-cured control sample. This study showed that L. fermentum has the potential to substitute for nitrite in the sausage production.  相似文献

A total of 226 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from “Alheira”, a traditional Portuguese fermented sausage, were screened for antagonistic activity against some pathogenic microorganisms, including Listeria monocytogenes. The objective was to isolate LAB with antibacterial activity from “Alheiras” and to select strains that could be used in “Alheira” production. Isolates displaying antibacterial activity against Listeria innocua and L. monocytogenes were investigated for the nature of the antibacterial compounds active against these microorganisms. Results showed that two LAB cultures retained activity in the supernatants after neutralization and catalase treatment. These two strains were both identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus. The final aim of this work was to test the antilisterial activity of these two strains during storage of “Alheira mass” (sterilized), at 4 °C. The growth of L. innocua population was significantly suppressed in the paste of “Alheira” when the samples were co-inoculated with the LAB strains, in comparison with the paste only inoculated with L. innocua or co-inoculated with a bacteriocin negative strain of Ped. pentosaceus (ca. 1 × 107 CFU/g after 28 days of incubation).  相似文献

Lactobacillus sake 2a is a bacteriocinogenic strain isolated from “lingüiça frescal”, a Brazilian sausage. The combined effect of modified-atmosphere (MA) packaging (100% CO2 and 50% CO2/50% N2) and addition of L. sake 2a on inhibition of growth of Listeria monocytogenes was evaluated in “lingüiça” stored at 6 °C. By the end of the first week, the inhibition of L. monocytogenes due to MA was significant (P0.05) while the presence of L. sake 2a did not influence significantly the growth of the pathogen. After 14 days, a reduction of 1.3–1.4 log in counts of L. monocytogenes was observed in samples containing L. sake 2a only or MA packaged only, while a reduction of 3.5 log was detected in those submitted to both treatments. Results indicate that inhibition of L. monocytogenes in “lingüiça frescal” by the bacteriocinogenic L. sake 2a is enhanced by the packaging of the product in MA.  相似文献

A case of listeriosis was associated with the consumption of a soft cheese produced in England. Goats cheese and other products from the same food manufacturer were examined for the presence of Listeria over the following 11 months. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from 16 of 25 cheese samples on retail sale, 12 of 24 cheese samples obtained directly from the factory, and from shelving within the plant. Phage-typing of 68 isolates of L. monocytogenes from cheese samples and the factory showed that 66 (97%) were indistinguishable from the strain isolated from the patient's cerebrospinal fluid and stool. L. monocytogenes was not isolated from seven goats milk or two yoghurt samples. Listeria innocua was isolated from 10 cheese samples, two of which contained no other species of Listeria. Levels of L. monocytogenes shortly after production were low (<10/g), but were higher (105–107 cfu/g) in six of the 16 cheese samples obtained from retail outlets. Multiplication of L. monocytogenes was demonstrated in cheeses contaminated at the factory and held at 4°C in the laboratory.  相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most severe food-borne bacterial infections causing Listeriosis. As L. monocytogenes can survive harsh adverse conditions - such as low pH, high NaCl, and refrigeration temperatures - as well as resist current antimicrobial measures such as the use of disinfectants and antibiotics, there is a need for alternative anti-Listeria strategies. In the search for new antimicrobial agents, much recent research has focused on the potential of dietary phenolic compounds. In this study, soybean extracts enriched for phenolic content via dark-germination sprouting or solid-state bioprocessing by the dietary fungus Rhizopus oligosporus or Lentinus edodes were investigated for in vitro antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes.L. monocytogenes growth was inhibited most effectively by R. oligosporus bioprocessed soybean extracts, which showed anti-Listeria activity at total phenolic concentrations as low as 10 µg 100 µL-1. In both sprouted soybean extract and L. edodes-bioprocessed soybean extract the anti-Listeria activity was not observed until at least 200 µg total phenolic content 100 µL-1 was used. Anti-Listeria activity by soybean extract was associated with phenolic mobilization but not with antioxidant activity. Further, R. oligosporus bioprocessed soybean extracts were shown to inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes in fish and meat systems at refrigeration temperatures. The potential involvement of mobilization of antimicrobial versus non-antimicrobial phenolics during sprouting and solid-state bioprocessing was hypothesized and discussed.  相似文献

Under the same experimental conditions it has been demonstrated that whereas survival curves of Listeria monocytogenes in the range of temperatures from 54 to 62 °C followed a first-order kinetic, those of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the range of temperatures from 50 to 56 °C were not linear showing a shoulder followed by a linear region. The first order kinetic model did not describe survival curves of P. aeruginosa. A model based on the Weibull distribution (Log10(Nt/N0)=(1/−2.303)*(t/b)n)) accurately described the inactivation kinetics of both microorganisms at the three pHs of 4, 5.5, 7.4 investigated. For both microorganisms, the b value depended on the treatment temperature and the pH of the treatment medium. Whereas for L. monocytogenes the n value was independent of the treatment conditions, for P. aeruginosa the n value depended on the pH of the treatment medium.

The model based on the Weibull distribution was capable of accurately predicting the treatment time to inactivate five Log10 cycles of both microorganisms at the three pHs investigated.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of water activity (aw) on the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) during high pressure processing (HPP). For microbial inactivation lyophilized cells of L. monocytogenes 19,115 were left dry or were suspended in 10 ml of 0.1% peptone water, 10 ml of glycerol, or mixtures of glycerol and peptone water. All samples of various aws were high pressure (HP) processed at ambient temperature at 600 MPa for 300 s. Following HPP, samples were serially diluted in 0.1% peptone and spread-plated on Tryptic Soy agar supplemented with Yeast Extract. For enzyme inactivation, 4.2 mg of lyophilized LDH was suspended in 2 ml of 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 2 ml of peptone water or glycerol, or in 2 ml mixtures of glycerol and peptone water. A lyophilized sample with no added liquid was also included. All enzyme samples were subjected to HPP as described above. After HPP, LDH was diluted to 0.28 μg/ml in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). LDH activity was assessed by measuring the change in concentration of β-NADH as a function of time. Dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS) was performed to examine the size distribution, polydispersity, and hydrodynamic radius of LDH before and after HPP. No significant difference in CFU/g was observed between lyophilized cells not subjected to HPP and lyophilized cells subjected to 600 MPa for 300 s (P < 0.05). However, lyophilized cells that were suspended in 100% to 60% peptone water showed a ~ 7.5-log10 reduction when subjected to HPP. Survival of L. monocytogenes following HPP significantly increased (P < 0.05) when the peptone water concentration was decreased below 60% (aw ~ 0.8). DLS results revealed that LDH suspended in buffer underwent aggregation following HPP (600 MPa, 300 s). Inactivation rate constants obtained using a first-order kinetic model indicated that untreated and HP processed lyophilized LDH had similar activities. When LDH was subject to HPP in solutions containing glycerol, enzyme activity decreased as the water content increased (r2 = 0.95). Lyophilization completely protected L. monocytogenes and LDH from inactivation by high pressure. Furthermore, enzyme activity and cell survival increased as water activity was decreased. We postulate low aw results in protein stabilization, which prevents protein denaturation and cell death during HPP.  相似文献

Clinical and food strains of Listeria monocytogenes have been found to express InternalinB (InlB) without polymorphism. InlB, which is a 67-kDa surface protein, behaves as an invasion and adhesion protein of the bacterium into cells. Thus, InlB could be a good candidate as a protein marker to detect L. monocytogenes. Three strains of L. monocytogenes (ATCC 19115, serotype 4b, ATCC 19111, serotype 1/2a, ATCC 7644, serotype 1/2c) were tested to detect and purify InlB. L. grayii (ATCC 25400) and L. innocua (isolated from soft cheese) were used as controls that did not express InlB due to the absence of its gene on the chromosome. InlB was quantitatively extracted in a solubilized form by treatment of L. monocytogenes with 1 M Tris-Cl at pH 7.5. Immunoblot analysis using anti-InlB polyclonal antibody revealed that L. monocytogenes 19115 had the lowest expression, which required enrichment of InlB for its detection. Simple spin-ion exchange chromatography with strong acidic cation exchanger was used to enrich the InlB protein that is strongly basic. Most impurities in the column were washed with 25 mM sodium acetate whereas the InlB protein was only protein retained in the column and can be eluted by 1 M NaCl. The data presented here showed that spin-ion exchange chromatography was found to be a simple and rapid method to enrich and purify InlB within 20 min.  相似文献

Adequacy of bacteriological quality assurance during the commercial production of mechanically deboned meat (MDM) was assessed. Lax standards of hygiene during production were observed, resulting in high numbers of Staphylococcus aureus, viz. 104 to 105 cfu g−1, and severe contamination with Enterobacteriaceae: 105 to 106 cfu g−1. These data indicate that measures of hygiene observed during boning of carcasses and during collection, storage and transport of bones or poultry parts should be markedly tightened, while conditions of refrigerated storage of raw materials and MDM should be improved. Use of bones of poor sensory quality (discoloration, abnormal smell) generally resulted in MDM of inferior bacteriological quality.

Phage typing, biotyping and assessment of enterotoxin production was carried out with 136 St. aureus cultures, isolates from mechanically deboned pork produced at one plant. Fifty-five per cent of the isolates was not typable, 28% was typable with human phages, 8% with bovine phages. The majority of the strains could not be explicitly assigned to any Meyer and/or Hájek and Mar álek types. Applying the simplified system of Devriese to eighteen strains isolated in our investigation, ten were found to belong to the poultry ecovar, one to the bovine ecovar, while seven strains were non-host specific. None of the isolates produced enterotoxins A–E.

Microbiological inspection of end products is recommended as part of an integrated quality assurance system. The following reference values for the final product (maximal colony counts to be expected under GMP conditions expressed as 95th percentile) were calculated: Pig MDM: log10 mesophilic colony count 6·8 and log10 cfu mesophilic Enterobacteriaceae g−1 4·8; Poultry MDM: log10 mesophilic colony count 6·6 and log10 cfu mesophilic Enterobacteriaceae g−1 4·7.  相似文献

Listeria spp. are considered of interest in public health since their presence indicates the potencial existence of L. monocytogenes. Total cellular proteins and DNA from four strains of L. monocytogenes serotype 4, four strains of L. monocytogenes belonging to serotype 1, twelve strains of L. innocua, four strains of L. seeligeri and two strains of L. welshimeri isolated from ready–to–eat food were studied by SDS–PAGE and restriction endonuclease digestion. SDS–PAGE protein profiles obtained were species specific and could be evaluated by visual comparison. Enzyme for restriction endonuclease analysis was EcoRI, discriminating L. monocytogenes from other Listeria spp. These methodologies might be a helpful tool and a good alternative for epidemiological tracking of listeriosis in laboratories, where other methods are not available.  相似文献

The effect of grape seed extract (GSE) and bearberry (BB), on lipid oxidation (TBARS, mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg muscle), colour (CIE ‘a’ redness value), pH, microbial status (log10CFU colony forming units/g pork) and sensorial properties of cooked pork patties was investigated. GSE (0–1000 μg/g muscle) and BB (0–1000 μg/g muscle) were added to raw pork (M. longissimus dorsi) patties which were stored in modified atmosphere packs (MAP) (75% O2:25% CO2) for up to 12 days at 4 °C. Cooked pork patties were stored in MAP (70% N2:30% CO2) for up to 4 days at 4 °C. Mesophilic plate counts and pork pH were unaffected by GSE and BB. GSE and BB addition decreased (P < 0.05) lipid oxidation (TBARS) in raw pork patties on days 9 and 12 of storage, relative to controls. Antioxidant activity of GSE and BB was observed in cooked pork patties demonstrating the thermal stability of GSE and BB. The ‘a’ redness values of raw and cooked pork patties marginally increased with increasing GSE concentration. The sensory properties of cooked pork patties were unaffected by GSE and BB addition. Results obtained demonstrate the potential for using health promoting nutraceuticals in meat and meat products.  相似文献

The effect of dietary vitamin E supplementation on modified-atmosphere packed lamb meat during storage was studied. Thirty-six weaned male Manchego breed lambs were fed diets supplemented with three different vitamin E concentrations (0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg feed) for an average of 37 days, in the 13–26 kg live weight growth range. Slices of m. longissimus dorsi were packaged under modified atmosphere (70% O2 and 30% CO2), stored at 2 ± 1 °C in darkness for 14 and 28 days. Meat quality parameters after both storage periods were assessed. Dietary vitamin E supplementation significantly increased -tocopherol concentration in muscle. Initially, lipid oxidation (TBARS), meat colour and bacterial load were similar in all groups. Lipid and colour oxidation of meat increased significantly (P < 0.001) throughout storage. The increase was greater in non-supplemented lambs than in supplemented ones. The bacterial counts after 28 days of storage reached the limit for microbiological shelf life (7 log10cfu/cm2). Dietary vitamin E supplementation increased the shelf life of meat packaged under modified atmosphere to 14 days. TBARS, pigment oxidation and bacterial load were inside the acceptable limit. The meat maintained its quality for 28 days of storage only when lambs were fed with the 1000 mg/kg dietary supplement, though the bacterial load was at the limit of acceptability.  相似文献

The effect of preservatives on microbial quality, pH, drip-loss, roasting-loss, colour, and sensorial properties of modified atmosphere packaged (70% O2 and 30% CO2) minced beef (M. semimembranosus) stored at (2 ± 0.5 °C) for 12 days was investigated. Beef cubes (approx. 20 × 20 × 20 mm size) were immersed in solutions of 2% and 5% lactic acid, 2% lactic acid combined with 0.5% sodium ascorbate, 20% potassium lactate and 20% potassium sorbate before mincing. Addition of lactic acid was associated with pH drop, which increased drip-loss and roasting-loss. Application of all additives inhibited aerobic micro-organisms (103–104 CFU g−1 on day 12) compared to reference sample (9 × 105 CFU g−1 on day 12). Lactic acid discoloured samples, while sodium ascorbate seemed to improve colour stability. Despite good visual colour characteristics, potassium sorbate treated samples were organoleptically unacceptable with massive off-flavour.  相似文献

Mechanically recovered poultry meat (MRPM) was inoculated with Listeria innocua 910 CECT at a level of approximately 108 CFU g−1. Vacuum-packaged samples were treated by combinations of pressure (350, 400, 450 and 500 MPa), time (5, 10, 15 and 30 min) and temperature (2, 10 and 20°C) and later stored at 2°C for 2 months. Counts of L. innocua and aerobic mesophilic bacteria were determined 1, 4, 7, 15, 30 and 60 days after pressurisation. For mesophiles, in most treatments, pressurization at 2°C gave the significantly best results. High pressure caused a marked bactericidal effect on L. innocua: reductions higher than 7.5 log units were achieved in several cases. Some cells were just sublethally injured by pressure. Samples treated at 500 MPa for 30 min at 2°C had counts of only 2.3 log units after 60 days of chill storage. Noninoculated pressurised MRPM did not show Listeria growth throughout storage. These results suggest that high pressure processing can enhance the microbiological quality of MRPM.  相似文献

Death and injury following exposure of Micrococcus luteus to nisin and pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment were investigated in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8, σ=4.8 ms/cm at 20°C). Four types of experiment were carried out, a single treatment with nisin (100 IU/ml at 20°C for 2 h), a single PEF treatment, a PEF treatment followed by incubation with nisin (as before) and addition of nisin to the bacterial suspension prior to the PEF treatment. The application of nisin clearly enhanced the lethal effect of PEF treatment. The bactericidal effect of nisin reduced viable counts by 1.4 log10 units. Treatment with PEF (50 pulses at 33 kV/cm) resulted in a reduction of 2.4 log10 units. PEF treatment followed by nisin caused a reduction of 5.2 log10 units in comparison with a 4.9 log10 units reduction obtained with nisin followed by PEF. Injury of surviving cells was investigated using media with different concentrations of salt. Sublethally damaged cells of M. luteus could not be detected by this means, following PEF treatment.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to model with logistic regression the growth/no growth interface of different initial inoculation levels (101, 103 and 105 CFU/ml; study 1), or nonadapted vs acid-adapted (study 2) Escherichia coli O157:H7 as influenced by pH, NaCl concentration and incubation temperature. Study 1 was conducted with a mixture of four E. coli O157:H7 strains grown (35 °C, 24 h) in tryptic soy broth (TSB). Study 2 was conducted with the same mixture of four E. coli O157:H7 strains grown (35 °C, 24 h) in glucose-free TSB with 1% added glucose (final pH 4.83), or in diluted lactic acid meat decontamination runoff fluids (washings; final pH 4.92), or nonadapted cultures prepared in glucose-free TSB (final pH 6.45), or in water washings (final pH 6.87). Parameters included incubation temperature (10–35 °C), pH (3.52–7.32), and NaCl concentration (0–10% w/v). Growth responses were evaluated for 60 days turbidimetrically (610 nm) every 5 days in 160 (study 1) and 360 (study 2) combinations in quadruplicate samples, with a microplate reader. The lower the initial inoculum the higher were the minimum pH and aw values permitting growth. Differences in the pH and aw growth limits among inoculum concentrations increased at 15 and 10 °C. Acid-adapted cultures were able to grow at lower pH than nonadapted cultures, while at temperatures below 25 °C, growth initiation of nonadapted cultures stopped at higher aw compared to acid-adapted cultures for the whole pH range of 3.52 to 7.32. A comparison with available data indicated that our model for acid-adapted E. coli O157:H7 in different environments may provide representative growth probabilities covering both nonadapted and stress-adapted contaminants.  相似文献
