胡椒单萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌抑菌机理的研究

本文研究了胡椒单萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌(L.monocytogenes)的抑菌机制,通过分析单增李斯特菌差异蛋白、呼吸链复合体以及三磷酸腺苷酶(ATP酶)等指标,根据同源建模与分子对接技术探索其作用靶点。添加胡椒单萜类化合物可显著抑制单增李斯特菌的生长(p<0.05),同时Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase、Ca²⁺-ATPase、呼吸链复合体I~V活力均显著低于对照组(p<0.05),其中复合体V在蛋白水平显著下调。胡椒单萜类化合物可使单增李斯特菌细胞膜通透性发生变化,抑制ATPase和呼吸链复合体活性,使得ATP合成减少,从而导致菌体衰亡。这为胡椒单萜类化合物应用于食品保鲜提供理论基础。     

Model of the influence of time and mild temperature on Listeria monocytogenes nonlinear survival curves

Heat treatment has long been regarded as one of the most widely used and most effective means of destroying pathogens in food. Up to now the linear relationship between the death rate and the temperature has been used when choosing the best heat treatment to apply. However, the information given by this linear relationship is no longer sufficient when nonlinear survival curves are observed. Consequently, the agri-food industry needs a tool to choose the best mild heat treatment to apply in the case of nonlinear survival curves. This study deals with the temperature-induced death of Listeria monocytogenes CIP 7831 in the stationary phase of growth. Eleven temperatures were tested. With the proposed primary and secondary models good fits of our data were obtained. A model describing both the effect of the duration of treatment and the temperature on the logarithm of the number of survivors was then built. A clear increase in the precision of the estimation of the parameters was obtained with this model. Moreover, with this model a new graphical strategy to choose a mild heat increase regarding a maximal survivor number has been proposed.     

胡椒油中萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌抑菌机理及在冷鲜肉中的应用

将不同浓度的萜类化合物添加至单增李斯特菌培养基中,对照组中不添加萜类化合物,通过对单增李斯特菌最小抑菌浓度(MIC)、菌落数、形态和电导率等指标的测定和分析,探究胡椒油中萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌的抑菌机理。结果表明,胡椒油中萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌的MIC为0.05%。添加0.1%萜类化合物可显著抑制单增李斯特菌的生长(P<0.05),使单增李斯特菌细胞膜通透性发生变化,细菌内容物大量流失,菌体相互黏连、衰亡。胡椒油中萜类化合物应用于冷鲜肉保鲜可有效减缓菌落总数的增长,相较于对照组在冷藏后12 h时菌落数已超出国家标准(6.0 lg CFU/g),加入0.1%萜类化合物能够使冷鲜肉菌落数在24 h时仍然处于较低水平。本研究探讨了胡椒油中萜类化合物对单增李斯特菌的抑菌机理并将其用于冷鲜肉的保鲜,这有利于对胡椒油的开发利用,也为日后将其应用于肉制品保鲜领域提供理论基础。     

食品中单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌两种定量检测方法的比较

研究比较不同杂菌污染条件下平板计数(Plate counting)法和稀释培养计数(Most probable number counting)法检测食品中单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌(Listeria monocytogenes,LM)含量的准确性,并探讨冷藏和冷冻食品,MPN保存过程中LM的数量增长情况。采用国标法中的平板计数法和MPN计数法对不同程度人工污染杂菌的牛奶、凉拌菜和盐水鸭分别进行LM含量的检测,并用MPN计数法对冷藏(2~8℃)和冷冻(-20℃)条件下保存的牛奶、凉拌菜和盐水鸭进行LM含量的检测。结果表明,杂菌染菌浓度较低时(LM含量与杂菌含量比为10:1), LM检出限较高(≥ 100 CFU/g (mL)),平板计数法检测LM含量的准确性较高,而杂菌染菌的初始浓度较高时(LM含量与杂菌含量比为1:10),LM检出限较低(< 100 CFU/g (mL)),MPN计数法检测LM含量的准确性较高;牛奶、凉拌菜和盐水鸭在经过不同冷藏和冷冻保存时间后LM数量对比差异有统计学意义(p<0.05),且食品中LM数量随着冷藏和冷冻保存时间的增加而增多。

可视化跨越式滚环扩增技术检测食品中单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌

本研究以现代加工工艺条件下生产制作的金华火腿为研究对象,评估了因单增李斯特菌而引起食物中毒的风险。通过调查生猪肉中单增李斯特菌的初始污染率及污染水平,金华火腿生产及销售过程中影响单增李斯特菌生长的参数,如pH、水分活度、温度以及乳酸菌含量等,再结合单增李斯特菌生长模型,模拟其暴露水平,并评估了不同人群因食用即食金华火腿切片而患李斯特菌病的风险。结果显示：金华火腿零售时污染水平为−9.47~7.05 lg CFU/g（90%的置信区间）;健康成年人食用即食金华火腿切片的平均患病概率小于10⁻¹⁵,易感人群的平均患病概率小于10⁻¹³。食用即食金华火腿切片而患李斯特菌病的风险较低,金华火腿的现代加工工艺对于单增李斯特菌的控制水平可以与国际接轨。本研究首次定量模拟了金华火腿从生猪肉到腌制发酵至最终产品的全过程中单增李斯特菌的暴露情况,为发酵火腿中食源性致病菌的风险评估提供了参考模型。     

金华火腿中单增李斯特菌的风险评估

本文拟研究月桂酰精氨酸乙酯（lauroyl arginate ethyl,LAE）对单增李斯特菌（Listeria monocytogenes）的失活机制。采用二倍稀释法测定LAE对L. monocytogenes的最小抑菌浓度（minimum antibacterial concentration,MIC）。通过测定细胞形态、细胞膜完整性、胞内ATP水平、细胞膜电位、细胞表面疏水性及胞内活性氧（reactive oxygen species,ROS）水平等指标,揭示LAE失活L. monocytogenes的作用机制。结果表明,LAE对L. monocytogenes的MIC值为10 μg/mL。与未处理组相比,经终浓度为40 μg/mL的LAE处理10 min后,L. monocytogenes细胞形态发生明显皱缩,胞外核酸和蛋白质水平分别升高了1.64和15.39倍（P<0.05）,表明细胞膜通透性显著增强（P<0.05）,且细胞膜发生去极化,细胞表面疏水性显著增强（P<0.05）;胞内ATP水平降低了92.40%（P<0.05）;胞内活性氧水平升高了77.27%（P<0.05）。此外,添加抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽和N-乙酰-L-半胱氨酸均能显著降低LAE的抑菌活性（P<0.05）。综上表明,LAE能够有效失活L. monocytogenes,这可能与其损伤细胞膜和诱导氧化应激等有关。该研究为LAE在食品保鲜中的实际应用提供了理论依据。

     

Mathematically modeling the repair of heat-injured Listeria monocytogenes as affected by temperature, pH, and salt concentration

Heat-injured cells of Listeria monocytogenes were inoculated into Listeria repair broth (LRB) adjusted to various pH levels (4.2, 5.0, 6.6, 8.0 and 9.6) and salt concentrations (0.5%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0% w/v) at controlled temperatures (4, 10, 22, 37 and 43 °C) in a complete factorial manner (5³). Repair of the injured microorganisms was evaluated using selective and non-selective plating media. The Gompertz parameters, which were generated by fitting the equation with the bacterial counts, were used to calculate the repair percentage as a function of time from which the repair time was estimated. All growth curves fit the Gompertz equation well (R² ≥ 0.972). A first-order model described the repair trend closely (R² = 0.989 ± 0.011). Heat-injured Listeria could fully repair in LRB only under 63 of 125 conditions tested during 21 days of incubation. Refrigeration temperature was the most effective means to prevent the repair of heat-injured Listeria. The minimum temperature required for repair increased with an increase in NaCl concentration. The pH ranges at which the repair could occur were narrower at 4 and 10 °C than those at higher temperature. The repair was observed in media containing 10% NaCl between temperatures of 22 and 43 °C at pH 6.6.

Functional properties of novel protective lactic acid bacteria and application in raw chicken meat against Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enteritidis

In this study 635 lactic acid bacteria of food origin were evaluated for their potential application as protective cultures in foods. A stepwise selection method was used to obtain the most appropriate strains for application as protective cultures in chicken meat. Specifically, all strains were examined for antimicrobial activity against various Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Strains exhibiting anti-bacterial activity were subsequently examined for survival in simulated food processing and gastrointestinal tract conditions, such as high temperatures, low pH, starvation and the presence of NaCl and bile salts. Selected strains where then examined for basic safety properties such as antibiotic resistance and haemolytic potential, while their antimicrobial activity was further investigated by PCR screening for possession of known bacteriocin genes. Two chosen strains were then applied on raw chicken meat to evaluate their protective ability against two common food pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enteritidis, but also to identify potential spoilage effects by the application of the protective cultures on the food matrix. Antimicrobial activity in vitro was evident against Gram positive indicators, mainly Listeria and Brochothrix spp., while no antibacterial activity was obtained against any of the Gram negative bacteria tested. The antimicrobial activity was of a proteinaceous nature while strains with anti-listerial activity were found to possess one or more bacteriocin genes, mainly enterocins. Strains generally exhibited sensitivity to pH 2.0, but good survival at 45 °C, in the presence of bile salts and NaCl as well as during starvation, while variable survival rates were obtained at 55 °C. None of the strains was found to be haemolytic while variable antibiotic resistance profiles were obtained. Finally, when the selected strains Enterococcus faecium PCD71 and Lactobacillus fermentum ACA-DC179 were applied as protective cultures in chicken meat against L. monocytogenes and S. enteritidis respectively, a significantly reduced growth of these pathogenic bacteria was observed. In addition, these two strains did not appear to have any detrimental effect on biochemical parameters related to spoilage of the chicken meat.     

可生食蔬菜中单核细胞增生李斯特菌生存特征研究

目的 探究可生食蔬菜品种、温度、接种部位对单核细胞增生李斯特菌（以下简称单增李斯特菌）存活的影响,为可生食蔬菜中单增李斯特菌的风险评估和关键控制措施提供理论依据。方法 以冻干定量单增李斯特菌为菌株来源,以彩椒、洋葱、黄瓜、圣女果和生菜5种可生食蔬菜的表面和切面为单增李斯特菌的接种点,在4 ℃、25 °C条件下培养7 d,定期监测每份样本中的单增李斯特菌的菌量,对其生长情况进行分析。结果 单增李斯特菌冻干菌种不同瓶间菌量均匀（F=1.923,P<0.05）,-20 ℃储存28 d后的复苏率为93.3%±4.2%。在4 ℃条件下,除了彩椒表面、黄瓜切面、生菜表面和生菜切面外,单增李斯特菌在其他蔬菜上放置7 d后均未见显著生长（δ<0.5 log₁₀ CFU/mL）。在25 ℃条件下,单增李斯特菌在彩椒、洋葱、圣女果、生菜以及黄瓜切面上均呈现为支持生长［δ为（1.16±0.35）~（2.68±0.18）log₁₀ CFU/mL］。单增李斯特菌在黄瓜切面、生菜表面和切面放置7 d后,菌量仍持续增长,在生菜的表面和切面生长趋势和浓度基本一致。结论 单增李斯特菌在可生食蔬菜上的存活能力与蔬菜种类、表面与切面、储存温度等条件密切相关,温度的控制对降低其在可生食蔬菜中的风险至关重要。生菜和切后的黄瓜作为单增李斯特菌高风险食品,应引起风险评估的重视。     

Comparison of the hydrophobic grid-membrane filter DNA probe method and the Health Protection Branch standard method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods

The standard Health Protection Branch (HPB) method for the detection of L. monocytogenes in foods involves lengthy enrichment, selection and biochemical testing, requiring up to 8 days to complete. A hydrophobic grid-membrane filter (HGMF) method employing a digoxigenin-labelled listeriolysin O probe required 5 days to complete, and included an image-analysis system for electronic data acquisition. A total of 200 food samples encompassing 8 high-risk food groups (soft and semi-soft cheeses, packaged raw vegetables, frozen cooked shrimp, ground poultry, ground pork, ground beef, jellied meats, and pâté) were screened for the presence of L. monocytogenes by the two methods. Overall, 32 (16%) and 30 (15%) of the naturally-contaminated food samples tested positive for L. monocytogenes by the HPB and DNA methods, respectively. The DNA probe method was highly specific in discriminating L. monocytogenes from other Listeria spp. present in 50 of the samples tested. Results showed 94% sensitivity and 100% specificity between the two methods. The HGMF DNA probe method is an efficient and reliable alternative to the HPB standard method for detecting L. monocytogenes in foods.     

Antimicrobial activity of camel's milk against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes

The inhibitory activity of camel's milk and colostrum at 4°C and 20°C was tested by the well diffusion assay against six pathogens. The activity was also studied in situ by monitoring the growth of a three-strain mixture of Listeria monocytogenes or Escherichia coli O78:K80 in camel's milk, colostrum or Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) as function of time. The results of the well diffusion assay show that Bacillus cereus was resistant to the inhibitory activity present in camel's milk and to the colostrum, while L. monocytogenes LMG 13304 and E. coli O78:K80(JB2) were the most sensitive as judged by the diameters of the inhibition zones. The in situ test revealed a typical inhibition pattern of both pathogens in camel's milk samples during 48 h of incubation at both storage temperatures. The colostrum exerted a definite bactericidal activity against E. coli O78:K80 at ambient temperature, and the viable counts decreased to below the detectable level in a 1-mL sample at 48 h, while at the refrigeration temperature, the counts were reduced by 1 and 3 log units compared to the initial inoculum and to the positive control, respectively. The camel's milk and colostrum samples had a bacteriostatic effect against L. monocytogenes during the first 8 h of incubation; thereafter, a tendency to increase was noted in the colostrum at 20°C. Similar experiments were carried out on E. coli O78:K80 in heat-treated camel's or cow's milk and showed that the inhibitory effect of camel's milk was reduced by heat treatment.     

Modelling the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in fresh green coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) water

The behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes in the fresh coconut water stored at 4 °C, 10 °C and 35 °C was studied. The coconut water was aseptically extracted from green coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.) and samples were inoculated in triplicate with a mixture of 5 strains of L. monocytogenes with a mean population of approximately 3 log₁₀ CFU/mL. The kinetic parameters of the bacteria were estimated from the Baranyi model, and compared with predictions of the Pathogen Modelling Program so as to predict its behaviour in the beverage. The results demonstrated that fresh green coconut water was a beverage propitious for the survival and growth of L. monocytogenes and that refrigeration at 10 °C or 4 °C retarded, but did not inhibit, growth of this bacterium. Temperature abuse at 35 °C considerably reduced the lagtimes. The study shows that L. monocytogenes growth in fresh green coconut water is controlled for several days by storage at low temperature, mainly at 4 °C. Thus, for risk population this product should only be drunk directly from the coconut or despite the sensorial alterations should be consumed pasteurized.

单核细胞增生李斯特菌是常见的食源性致病菌,广泛存在于环境中。单核细胞增生李斯特菌感染后主要表现为败血症、脑膜炎和单核细胞增多,也可导致孕妇流产、胎死宫内、新生儿死亡等。单核细胞增生李斯特菌致病性与其毒力基因及毒力岛密切相关,其机制是众多毒力因子在各调控因子复杂的网络调控下的结果。本综述旨在了解单核细胞增生李斯特菌毒力基因及其致病机制。     

Effect of lactic acid on Listeria monocytogenes and Edwardsiella tarda attached to catfish skin

This study evaluated the use of lactic acid to decontaminate Listeria monocytogenes andEdwardsiella tarda attached to catfish skin with or without mucus. At the highest inoculum levels (10⁴–10⁵cfu skin⁻¹), lactic acid (0·5–2·0%) exposure for 10 min reduced counts of L. monocytogenes firmly attached to catfish skin by 0·9–>1·9 log₁₀cfu skin⁻¹and cells loosely attached by 2·7–>3·7 logs. Counts of E. tarda firmly attached to catfish skin were reduced by 0·9–>3·0 logs and cells loosely attached by 1·5–>3·5 logs. Overall bacterial numbers of lactic acid-treated cells that were firmly attached to skin with mucus were higher than on skin without mucus. Firmly attached L. monocytogenes was more resistant to lactic acid than was firmly attached E. tarda. Catfish skin mucus decreased the antimicrobial effect of lactic acid against attached L. monocytogenes and E. tarda.     

一例孕产妇单核细胞增生李斯特菌感染的溯源调查及发病机制探讨

目的 针对一例孕产妇李斯特菌病开展病例调查和溯源分析,探讨感染来源和单增李斯特菌病的发病机制,为防控李斯特菌病提供依据。方法 开展现场流行病学调查,收集病例信息,采集病例血液标本、家庭冰箱内食品及厨房环境样本、家庭附近农贸市场的食品样本,针对不同来源样本中的单增李斯特菌进行检测。结果 病例经常食用从农贸市场购买的中式凉拌菜（5～7次/周）,在家自制或二次加工中式凉拌菜。其家庭冰箱冷藏室储存食物生熟不分,且生食水果在冰箱中出现腐烂现象。厨房的两块菜板生熟不分、清洗消毒不及时,厨房操作面存在交叉污染。检测结果显示,11份样本中共分离出3株单增李斯特菌,1株来自该病例的血液标本,2株来自厨房冰箱内食品涂抹和菜板涂抹。提示该病例由于食用污染食品导致感染并通过胎盘屏障感染胎儿。结论 本起事件是丰台区首次在食品和环境中尝试溯源单增李斯特菌病的感染来源。病例家庭冰箱内生肉和胡萝卜、厨房环境涂抹样本中均检出单增李斯特菌,明确了食品与环境交叉污染导致病例单增李斯特菌感染发病;医院的早期识别及处置是避免新生儿不良结局出现的重要保障。     

Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from Gorgonzola cheese rinds

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen frequently present in ripened soft cheeses. Forty-three strains of L. monocytogenes isolated from the rind of ripened Gorgonzola cheeses produced in 24 different dairy plants were characterized by biotyping, serotyping, and molecular typing. Biotyping was performed by studying two phenotypes closely associated with virulence, such as hemolytic and phospholipase C activities. Traditional typing techniques did not allow a discrimination among the 43 strains studied. All strains showed a good hemolytic activity on blood agar, and only slight differences were observed when titration of hemolytic activity of culture supernatants was performed. Also phospholipase activities were quite similar for all the strains. Concerning serotyping, all strains belonged to serotype 1/2a. The molecular characterization was performed by RAPD-PCR. Combined cluster analysis following PCR amplification experiments allowed to group L. monocytogenes strains into few distinguishable profiles. At a level of similarity of 80%, the 43 strains were grouped into only 5 composite profile groups. Although isolated in 24 different plants, the presence of a few closely related strains demonstrated a possible relationship between these cheese isolates; a special ability of these strains to adapt to Gorgonzola cheese processing environment could be suggested.     

Antilisterial activity of lactic acid bacteria inoculated on cooked ham

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.     

4-羟基-2,5-二甲基-3(2H)呋喃酮对单增李斯特菌AI-2类群体感应的干扰效应

利用群体感应抑制剂靶向干扰病源菌已成为有效控制致病性危害的突破口。本研究通过测定菌体浓度、哈氏弧菌BB170报告菌的发光值,研究不同浓度4-羟基-2,5-二甲基-3(2H)呋喃酮(DMHF)作用下单增李斯特菌(L.m)的生长与信号分子AI-2活性;通过半固体穿刺法、结晶紫法及溶血平板法检测L.m的动力、生物膜及溶血性,来评价DMHF对L.m AI-2类QS的干扰效应。结果表明,≤ 200 μg/mL的DMHF能推迟L.m的生长,且明显抑制了L.m AI-2的活性,实验组的AI-2活性值均低于阴性对照组的40%,由此可判定DMHF是AI-2类QS的抑制剂;当DMHF浓度为100 μg/mL时能明显抑制L.m的运动能力;50、100和200 μg/mL的DMHF对L.m生物膜的形成抑制率分别为29.72%、44.88%和75.27%;200 μg/mL的DMHF完全抑制溶血环的产生,本研究为利用DMHF作AI-2类QS的抑制剂提供依据。
