大肠杆菌O157:H7的冷冻损伤及解冻存活

为探讨冷冻后残存的大肠杆菌O157:H7（Escherichia coli O157:H7）在解冻后的存活情况,本研究首先比较4 株E. coli O157:H7冷冻后的死亡和损伤情况,进而采用无营养的磷酸盐缓冲液作为基质研究冷冻后不同解冻方式对E. coli O157:H7存活的影响。结果表明：4 株E. coli O157:H7 －20 ℃冷冻24、48、72 h后均发生了一定程度的死亡和损伤,冷冻时间越长细菌致死和致伤程度越明显,且存在菌株差异,冷冻72?h时菌株CICC21530的损伤率最高,为87.70%。采用混合菌株进行解冻实验,4?株E.?coli?O157:H7磷酸盐缓冲液菌液冷冻后立即置于20、30、37?℃解冻,细菌发生了进一步的死亡,解冻温度越高死亡越明显,3?个温度组在解冻48?h时菌落数均显著低于冷冻72?h时菌落数（P＜0.05）。进一步探讨缓慢解冻方式对菌体存活的影响,菌液冷冻后先置于4?℃一定时间（0、2、6、12?h）,再置于37?℃不同时间（5、10、30?min）观察菌株存活情况,结果表明4?℃缓慢解冻时间越长,越有利于细菌的存活,4?℃、12?h/37?℃、5～30?min解冻方式下改良山梨醇麦康凯琼脂上菌落数仍显著低于胰蛋白胨大豆琼脂上的菌落数（P＜0.05）,表明仍有损伤菌的存在。本实验提示采用缓慢解冻反而有利于残存菌的存活,冷冻食品风险评估时应重视残存菌尤其是损伤菌的检测和控制。

Cryotolerance of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 in Laboratory Media and Food

ABSTRACT: The present study compared the cryotolerance of E. coli 0157:H7 strains with nonpathogenic strains of E. coli. Cold shocked (exposed to 10°C for 6 h) and non-cold shocked (held at 20°C) cultures were frozen at -18°C for up to 240 h in brain heart infusion broth, apple juice, frozen yogurt, and ground beef. The E. coli 0157:H7 strains showed the greatest cold shock effect and cryotolerance. The cold shocked E. coli 0157:H7 strains showed a 25 to 35% increase in their ability to survive frozen storage for 24 h at -18°C compared to non-cold shocked cells. The corresponding value for non-O157 strains was only about 5%. The food matrix changed the cold shock response in all investigated strains. The largest cold shock effect was observed with broth cultures. Cryotolerance of E. coli was not observed in frozen yogurt and ground beef. The effect of prior cold shock was most pronounced in E. coli 0157:H7 strains after 24 h of freezing.     

Temperature and NaCl Affect Growth and Survival of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 in Poultry-Based and Laboratory Media

In tryptic soy broth (TSB) and a poultry extract broth (PB) with 0 to 10% (w/v) NaCl incubated at 37°C, growth of E. coli 0157:H7 was inhibited at 28% NaCl whereas at 10°C, growth was inhibited at 24% NaCl in TSB and at 26% NaCl in PB. The bacterium did not grow at 4°C. Increased NaCl-sensitivity observed at 10°C was a bacteriostatic effect that was ineffective with increasing incubation temperature. At 10°C, E. coli 0157:H7 was more salt-tolerant in PB than in TSB, although PB growth rates were lower. Findings suggest that PB may be a more suitable medium for testing E. coli 0157:H7 in poultry products. Cells of E. coli 0157:H7 that were exposed to refrigeration (4°C) and/or NaCl for 24 days did not grow on MacConkey agar with 1% sorbitol.     

Bacteriophage-based bioluminescent bioreporter for the detection of Escherichia coli 0157:H7

The rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in food and water is vital for the prevention of foodborne illness. In this study, the lux reporter genes were used in a new bioassay that allows pathogen monitoring without multiple sample manipulations or the addition of exogenous substrate. A recombinant phage specific for Escherichia coli 0157:H7 was constructed that, upon infection, catalyzes the synthesis of N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OHHL). This phage PP01 derivative carries the luxI gene from Vibrio fischeri under the control of the phage promoter PL. OHHL produced by infected E. coli 0157:H7 induces bioluminescence in bioreporter cells carrying the V. fischeri lux operon. The ability of phage PP0-luxl to detect several strains of E. coli 0157:H7 was confirmed in a 96-well plate assay. In this assay, luxCDABE bioreporter cells capable of detecting OHHL were mixed with phage PPOI-luxl and E. coli 0157:H7, and luminescence was monitored. Reporter phages induced light in bioreporter cells within I h when exposed to 10(4) CFU/ml of E. coli 0157:H7 and were able to detect 10 CFU/ml in pure culture with a preincubation step (total detection time, 4 h). The detection method was also applied to contaminated apple juice and was able to detect 10(4) CFU/ml of E. coli 0157:H7 in 2 h after a 6-h preincubation.     

Enzyme-linked immunomagnetic electrochemical detection of live Escherichia coli 0157:H7 in apple juice

We describe the application of enzyme-linked immunomagnetic electrochemistry (ELIME) for the rapid detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in buffered apple juice. The ELIME technique entails sandwiching bacterial analyte between antibody-coated magnetic beads and an alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antibody. The beads (with or without bound bacteria) were localized onto the surface of magnetized graphite ink electrodes in a multiwell plate format. The enzyme substrate, 1-naphthyl phosphate, was added, and conversion of substrate to an electroactive product was measured using electrochemical detection. With this technique, detection of whole, live E. coli O157:H7 bacterial cells was achieved with a minimum detectable level of ca. 5 x 10(3) cells per ml in Tris-buffered saline or buffered apple juice in an assay time of ca. 80 min. With adjustment of pH, the ELIME response for the bacteria in either sampling medium was similar, indicating that apple juice components did not contribute to any discernible sample matrix effects.     

Outbreak of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 infections associated with consumption of beef donair

The Calgary Health Region identified an outbreak of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 infection in September 2004 following a fourfold increase in laboratory reports. Clinical isolates were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and the PFGE pattern was unique in North America. Most affected individuals reported beef donair consumption in 10-day food histories. We conducted a matched case-control study, inspected the implicated food premises, and conducted a traceback investigation of suspect ground beef to determine the source of the outbreak and implement prevention and control measures. A total of 43 laboratory-confirmed cases were identified, with symptom onsets between 8 September and 1 October 2004. Among 26 matched case-control pairs, consumption of beef donair from one of two locations of a local restaurant chain was the only statistically significant risk factor for infection (matched odds ratio undefined; P < 0.01). No samples of the implicated ground beef were available for microbiological testing. We identified several opportunities for time-temperature abuse and other factors that may have contributed to the serving of unsafe donair meat at the implicated restaurants. This outbreak highlighted gaps in food safety policy related to beef donair and similar products in Canada. Immediately following the outbreak, the Region implemented new safe food handling requirements and a Federal/Provincial/Territorial Working Group was established to make recommendations for national food safety policies specific to these products.     

Survival of Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in chorizos

Mexican-style raw meat sausages (chorizos) are not regulated in California when they are produced in small ethnic food markets. These sausages are sold uncooked, but their formulation imparts a color that may lead the consumer to assume that they are already cooked, and thus the chorizos may sometimes be eaten without proper cooking. If pathogens are present in such cases, illness may result. Survival of Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in chorizos was evaluated under different storage conditions selected based on an initial survey of uninspected chorizos in California. Chorizos were formulated with five different initial water activity (aw) values (0.85, 0.90, 0.93, 0.95, and 0.97), stored under four conditions (refrigeration at 6 to 8 degrees C, room temperature at 24 to 26 degrees C, under a hood at 24 to 26 degrees C with forced air circulation, and incubation at 30 to 31 degrees C with convective air circulation), and sampled after 1, 2, 4, and 7 days. The initial pH was 4.8 and remained near 5.0 from day 1 of the sampling period. Two separate studies of packs inoculated with five-strain cocktails of Salmonella and of E. coli O157:H7 were performed twice for each initial aw. The three lowest aw values (0.85, 0.90, and 0.93) and the incubation and hood storage conditions were more effective (P < or = 0.05) at reducing the target pathogen levels in chorizos than were the two highest aw values (0.95 and 0.97) and the refrigeration storage condition, regardless of storage time. These results provide a scientific basis for guidelines given to producers of uninspected chorizo and should reduce the probability of foodborne illness associated with these products.
