Evidence is presented for the extent of contamination of freshly slaughtered pig carscasses with human pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and shows the significance of faecal contamination as a source of infection. Swab samples collected from the rectum and the surface of a total of 1458 pig carcasses were examined for the presence of human pathogenic Y. enterocolitica Y. enterocolitica, biovar IV, serogroup 0:3, were isolated from the rectum of 360 pigs (24.7%). The organism was isolated from carcass surfaces with varying frequencies depending on the evisceration technique. Manual evisceration was found to correspond with high frequencies of contamination: 26.3% on the medial hind limb and 12.9% on the split sternum. The use of a mechanised bung cutter was found to reduce the rate of contamination, especially when the bung cutter was used in connexion with enclosing the anus and rectum in a plastic bag to minimise faecal contamination. When carcasses were eviscerated in this way, it was possible to reduce carcass contamination to 1.9% on the medial hind limb, 1.0% in the pelvic duct, and 2.2% on the split sternum.  相似文献

The prevalence of yadA-positive Yersinia enterocolitica was determined in 185 pig tonsils from nine slaughterhouses using both the PCR and culture method. The mean prevalence was 37%, varying from 13% to 45% when both PCR and culture-positive results were included. Of the 52 PCR-positive tonsil samples, 20 were culture-negative, while of the 48 culture-positive, 16 were PCR-negative. Using the culture method, Y. enterocolitica belonging to the bioserotype 4/O:3 was found in 61 tonsils, of which 48 were yadA-positive. Type 4/O:3 was the only pathogenic bioserotype found in this study. Most of the yadA-positive samples (85%) were recovered already after overnight enrichment. A total of 61 isolates, including 13 yadA-negative isolates from different samples, were characterized with PFGE. UsingNotI and XbaI, 20 and 17 PFGE patterns were obtained, respectively. Although the patterns were not identical, most of them played only minor deviations. A total of 26 pulsotypes, defined by combination of the various NotI andXbaI digestion profiles, were observed. Two to eight different pulsotypes were observed in each slaughterhouse, The most common pulsotypes, 1a and 4g, were found in 36% and 20% of the tonsils, respectively and these pulsotypes were widely distributed to most of the slaughterhouses. The pulsotype 1a was identified in eight out of nine slaughterhouses and the pulsotype 4g in seven slaughterhouses.  相似文献

Human yersiniosis is the third most common enteric disease after campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis in many European countries. However, epidemiological data on the prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in animals and humans is insufficient. Pigs are assumed to be the main reservoir of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica because pig is so far the only animal species from which pathogenic strains have frequently been isolated. This work was conducted to study the frequency of ail-positive Y. enterocolitica in pigs slaughtered at a Swiss abattoir. In total, 212 pig tonsils were screened by real-time PCR and culture methods. The prevalence rate of ail-positive Y. enterocolitica in pigs at slaughter was 88% and 34% with PCR and culture methods, respectively. The 148 ail-positive isolates from the 72 culture-positive tonsils were bio-and serotyped. The most common bioserotype was 4/O:3 found in 96% (69/72) of the culture-positive samples. However, pig was also shown to be a reservoir for ail-positive Y. enterocolitica belonging to bioserotypes 2/O:5,27 and 2/O:9, which were detected in 8% (6/72) and 1% (1/72) of the culture-positive samples, respectively. Using PFGE with NotI, only a limited number of different patterns was found. In all, 6 genotypes were obtained when 86 isolates of bioserotype 4/O:3 from 69 samples were characterised and two genotypes (N1 and N4) dominated. The biotype 4 differs clearly from biotype 2 with PFGE. Antimicrobial resistance testing of 77 ail-positive Y. enterocolitica isolates from 72 samples studied with disc-diffusion revealed that all strains were sensitive to cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, which are antimicrobial agents used for treatment of human disease. The isolates of bioserotype 2/O:5,27 differed from the isolates of bioserotypes 2/O:9 and 4/O:3 in resistance to ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid.  相似文献

To gain a better understanding about the effect of growth temperature on heat resistance of Yersinia enterocolitica, we determined decimal reduction times at 60 degrees C (D60-values) for O:3; O:5,27; O:8; and O:9 strains harboring virulence plasmid coding for Yersinia outer membrane protein and experimentally virulence plasmid-deleted strains after they were grown to stationary phase at 7, 25, or 37 degrees C. Bacteria were inoculated into Trypticase soy broth and were incubated at several temperatures. D60-values of O:3; O:5,27; and O:8 strains were larger when they were grown at 37 degrees C than at 7 or 25 degrees C, despite the presence or absence of virulence plasmids. However, similar D60-values were observed in O:9 strains, despite growth at 7, 25, or 37 degrees C. The results indicate two types of Y. enterocolitica strains, growth temperature-dependent and -independent, and a Yersinia outer membrane protein that is not directly involved in growth temperature-dependent heat resistance.  相似文献

Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica strains (serogroups 0:3;0:9 and 0:5.27) were isolated from 36 (42%) of 86 porcine tonsils, 8 (20%) of 40 tongues, 17 (17%) of 100 rectal swabs and from 4 (1%) of 400 pork samples. Pathogenic Yersinia strains were not isolated from samples of 210 pig carcasses and from 20 samples of porcine head meat. These results confirm that pigs are an important reservoir of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica. However, contamination of carcasses during the slaughtering process with Yersinia from either faecal material or from the tonsillary region does not seem to occur frequently and this may also explain the low contamination rate of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica found for pork. For the isolation of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica strains from foods, enrichment in irgasan-ticarcillin-chlorate broth (ITC) and isolation on SS-deoxycholate-calcium agar (SSDC) is recommended.  相似文献

Fresh vegetables contaminated with Yersinia enterocolitica have been implicated in foodborne disease outbreaks. Surfaces of vegetables can become contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms through contact with soil, irrigation water, fertilizers, equipment, humans, and animals. One approach to reduce this contamination is to treat fresh produce with sanitizers. In this study, the ability of ozone to inactivate Y. enterocolitica inoculated in water and on potato surfaces was evaluated. Furthermore, the efficacy of ozone in reducing natural flora on whole potato was determined. Total aerobic mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria, total coliforms, and Listeria monocytogenes were enumerated. Finally, several disinfection kinetic models were considered to predict Y. enterocolitica inactivation with ozone. Treatments with ozone (1.4 and 1.9 ppm) for 1 min decreased the Y. enterocolitica population in water by 4.6 and 6.2 log CFU ml(-1), respectively. Furthermore, ozonated water (5 ppm) for 1 min decreased Y. enterocolitica and L. monocytogenes from potato surfaces by 1.6 and 0.8 log CFU g(-1), respectively. Therefore, ozone can be an effective treatment for disinfection of wash water and for reduction of potato surface contamination.  相似文献

In this study, the occurrence of Yersinia enterocolitica on pig carcasses was compared to the occurrence of Campylobacter spp., and to the numbers of aerobic micro-organisms, coliform bacteria, thermotolerant coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli before and after blast chilling. Y. enterocolitica O:3/biovar 4 was isolated from five (8.3%) of 60 carcasses before blast chilling, and also from five of them 1 h after blast chilling. Therefore this procedure does not seem to have a significant effect on the occurrence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica on pig carcasses. Y. enterocolitica O:9/biovar 2 was isolated from a pig source in Norway for the first time when this sero/biovariant was isolated from one of the carcasses before blast chilling. Campylobacter spp. was isolated from 34 (56.7%) of 60 carcass samples before blast chilling. After blast chilling Campylobacter spp. was isolated from only one (1.7%) of the 60 carcasses. There was a significant decrease of the numbers of coliform bacteria, thermotolerant coliform bacteria and E. coli after blast chilling. The number of aerobic micro-organisms did not decrease after this step. In contrast to the drastic decrease in the occurrence of campylobacter-positive carcasses and the significant decrease of the numbers of coliform bacteria, thermotolerant coliform bacteria and E. coli, blast chilling does not seem to have a significant effect on the occurrence of human pathogenic Y. enterocolitica on pig carcasses.  相似文献

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the contamination of the pig-slaughtering line with pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica carrying the yadA gene. A total of 292 samples were collected from the slaughterhouse; 131 swab samples from pig carcasses, ears, livers, kidneys, and hearts; 89 swab samples from the environment; and 72 sedimentation samples from the air. All surface samples were studied with both the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture methods. The contamination rate of edible pig offals was high with both methods. Using PCR, the detection rates of yadA-positive Y. enterocolitica for livers, kidneys, and hearts were 38, 86, and 63%, respectively, and using the culture method, the detection rates were 31, 69, and 50%, respectively. Pathogenic Y. enterocolitica was also detected from different environmental sites in the slaughterhouse. Using PCR, 13% of the surface samples from the environment were contaminated with yadA-positive Y. enterocolitica. PCR-positive samples were found on the brisket saw, the hook from which the pluck set (heart, lungs, esophagus, trachea, diaphragm, liver, kidneys, and tongue with tonsils) hang, the knife used for evisceration, the floors in the eviscerating area and the weighing area, the meat-cutting table, the aprons used by trimming workers, the computer used in the meat-inspection area, and the coffeemaker used by slaughterhouse workers. The respective detection rate (6%) was considerably lower when we used the culture method. Pathogenic Y. enterocolitica was isolated from the air in the bleeding area. Bioserotype 4/O:3 was the only pathogenic bioserotype isolated in this study. A total of 113 isolates of type 4/O:3 were characterized with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis using NotI and XbaI digests. By combining these profiles, nine different pulsotypes were obtained, the most common of which (1a) was found in 19 (61%) of 31 samples from different sites. This is the same type that has dominated in pig tonsils, which suggests that tonsils may be the source of Y. enterocolitica contamination in the slaughterhouse. The four pulsotypes (1a, 4g, 6g, and 19q) found on edible offals were the same as those found in tonsils, which supports our hypothesis that tonsils are the contamination source for the liver, heart, and kidneys.  相似文献

The prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in pig herds was monitored during six trials (at four different farrow-to-finisher farms). Samples were taken throughout the whole rearing period from birth of the piglets to the final fattening stage, and different samples were taken from these pigs during the slaughter process. Environmental samples also were evaluated to identify potential sources of on-farm infection. Y. enterocolitica was isolated using irgasan-ticarcillin-potassium chlorate broth enrichment and cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin agar culture. Colonies were identified using bio- and serotyping methods and by PCR assay. Pathogenic Y. enterocolitica were not isolated from fecal samples from piglets and weaners. The only fecal samples positive for Y. enterocolitica were obtained during the fattening stage. The prevalence of Y. enterocolitica in fattening pig herds ranged between 0 and 65.4%. Y. enterocolitica isolates were detected at the abattoir in 38.4% of the tonsils, in 3.8% of the ileocecal lymph nodes, on 0.3% of the carcass surfaces before chilling, and on 0% of the carcass surfaces after chilling. Almost all isolates belonged to bioserotype 4/O:3. Only one strain was identified as O:9. All isolates contained the ail gene. The yopT gene was found in 99.1% of the farm isolates but in only 76.6% of the isolates found at the abattoir from the corresponding carcasses. Although a direct link between porcine isolates and human infection has not been demonstrated, the similarity of the bioserotypes in infected pigs and humans and the presence of virulence factors in porcine isolates should encourage further studies to determine the risk of transmission of Y. enterocolitica to humans from pigs and pork products.  相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to determine the prevalence of yadA-positive Yersinia enterocolitica in pig tongues and minced meat at the retail level in Finland and to confirm the yadA-positive Y. enterocolitica isolates recovered from the same samples using the conventional culture method. A total of 51 pig tongues purchased at 12 retail outlets and 255 minced meat samples purchased at 40 retail outlets in the Helsinki area were studied. The prevalence of Y. enterocolitica carrying the yadA gene was 92% in pig tongues and 25% in minced meat using PCR and 78% in tongues and 2% in minced meat with the culture method. The prevalence of yadA-positive tongues was higher (98%) when both PCR- and culture-positive results were included because Y. enterocolitica carrying the yadA gene could also be isolated in three PCR-negative tongue samples. In the minced meat samples, all PCR-negative samples were also culture-negative. With the culture method, 66 of 80 yadA-positive isolates in 38 tongues and all yadA-positive isolates (4) in four minced meat samples were recovered after selective enrichment. A total of 92 isolates of Y. enterocolitica bioserotype 4/O:3 in tongues and 5 isolates in minced meat were found, of which 13% in tongues and 20% in minced meat did not carry the yadA gene.  相似文献

The objective of this work was to compare three different methods of DNA extraction from meat food, and to determine whether these methods removed inhibitors of nested PCR for pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica detection. The amplification of the yadA gene from the DNA obtained from a pure Y. enterocolitica culture could be carried out with all the protocols. DNA amplification from the food samples was observed with two of the three tested protocols, which gave highly sensitive amplifications (detection limit 1 CFU/ml). These protocols detected a lower limit of 0.6 fg/μl of DNA extracted from Y. enterocolitica pure culture. We concluded that these protocols were able to eliminate satisfactorily the PCR inhibitors present in the foods. The nested PCR tested could be used satisfactorily in the investigation of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in foods in the presence of a high background of microflora.  相似文献

Yersinia enterocolitica is a psychrotrophic, facultative anaerobic zoonotic bacterium belonging to family Enterobacteriaceae and it can be transmitted from pigs to humans through pork. The growth of bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae and aerobic spoilage bacteria is usually effectively restricted by 20% or more CO(2) enriched atmosphere at refrigerated temperatures. In this study, 40 samples of meat strips from pig cheek (musculus masseter) and 40 samples from hind leg (m. semimembranosus) muscles were packaged in modified atmosphere (MA) (30% CO(2)/70% O(2)) and stored at 6°C for 12d. Twenty naturally contaminated samples per muscle type were studied on days 1 and 13. Violet red bile glucose (VRBG) and de Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar plates were used for enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae including Y. enterocolitica and lactic acid bacteria, respectively. During the 12-d storage at 6°C in MA, the mean number of bacteria on pork strips of cheek meat was increasing from 1.6 to 4.5 log cfu/g and from 3.1 to 7.2 log cfu/g on VRBG and MRS agar plates, respectively. Most of the oxidase-negative isolates on VRBG plates, which were isolated from the cheek meat samples after 12-d cold storage in MA, were identified as Y. enterocolitica 4/O:3. The mean number of this pathogen was 4.1 log cfu/g varying between 2.3 and 5.4 log cfu/g. The pH of the cheek meat and leg meat was measured on days 1 and 13, and it remained high (pH>6) in most cheek meat samples during the storage. No Y. enterocolitica 4/O:3 was isolated from meat strips of hind leg. This study shows that cheek meat of slaughter pigs is contaminated with Y. enterocolitica 4/O:3 and that this pathogen can grow well on raw pork packaged in MA at 6°C even in the presence of high number of lactic acid bacteria.  相似文献

A generalised z-value concept has been applied to analyse the relationship between the lag and the growth rate of Yersinia enterocolitica at a range of temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen percentages. The product of the specific growth rate and the lag (the "work to be done" during the lag phase) is found to be independent of temperature. However, it does depend on the CO2 and O2 concentrations, though the effect of oxygen was less noticeable than the effect of carbon dioxide.  相似文献

A multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection and differentiation of the Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis isolates in both pure bacterial cultures and pig tonsils. The assay was based on the amplification of the ail, inv, yadA, and ystB genes. The PCR products, corresponding to the ail gene and the plasmid-borne yadA gene or only one product corresponding to the ail gene, were detected in Y. enterocolitica 4 biotype isolates. All of the Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates (n=6) tested gave a positive PCR reaction for the inv gene. For all tested Y. enterocolitica 1A biotype isolates (n=31), one product corresponding to the ystB gene was observed. The multiplex PCR assay was used to detect Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis strains in pig tonsil samples obtained from 80 slaughtered pigs from three different herds. The presence of at least one of the specific PCR amplification products of ail-, ystB-, yadA-, and inv-specific sequences was observed in 11 samples (13.75%). These results of the multiplex PCR assay were compared with the results of conventional, microbiological testing. Y. enterocolitica isolates were cultured from only 3 (3.75%) of the 80 pig tonsils examined. The multiplex PCR assay was shown to be an efficient tool for differentiation between the pYV plasmid-bearing Y. enterocolitica isolates, the plasmidless Y. enterocolitica isolates, the Y. enterocolitica biotype 1A isolates, and the Y. pseudotuberculosis isolates with and without the pYV plasmid in naturally contaminated pig tonsils. This indicates that this assay is useful to control food processing and track the source of contamination.  相似文献

Yersinia enterocolitica, a food-borne pathogen, can be eliminated from meat using ionizing radiation. Commercial facilities may irradiate meat at refrigeration or frozen temperature, or packed in dry ice if the facility does not have refrigeration capabilities. The effect of temperature on the radiation resistance of Y. enterocolitica that contained the 70 kb large virulence plasmid was determined. A mixture of four Y. enterocolitica strains was inoculated into ground pork, which was then vacuum-packed, equilibrated to refrigeration or sub-freezing temperatures, and irradiated to doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy. The D(10) value, the radiation dose required to reduce the number of viable Y. enterocolitica by 90%, increased as product temperature decreased with values of 0.19, 0.19, 0.21, 0.40, 0.40. 0.38, and 0.55 kGy being obtained at +5, 0, -5, -10. -15, -20 and -76?°C, respectively. Meat product temperature should be considered when selecting a radiation dose required for elimination of Y. enterocolitica.  相似文献

The growth of two pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica strains (O:3, O:9 at 1 degree C, 4 degrees C, 10 degrees C and 15 degrees C) in minced meat produced under sterile conditions and in minced meat with a normal background flora was investigated. In addition, the influence of treatment with a protective gas (20% CO2, 80% O2) was tested. In minced meat produced under sterile conditions and incubated under normal atmospheric conditions, Y. enterocolitica increased in numbers by only 1 log at 1 degree C and 3.5 logs at 4 degrees C within 14 days. At 10 and 15 degrees C, there was about a 5-log increase in cell numbers within 5 days. There was a marked inhibition of growth by the background flora on Y. enterocolitica. This effect was so marked that only a slight additional inhibition on the growth of Y. enterocolitica at 1, 4 and 10 degrees C was observed under the CO2:O2 modified atmosphere. This is in contrast to the situation where minced meat with a low total bacterial count was used, and the growth of Y. enterocolitica was adversely affected by the CO2:O2 environment. The significance of raw minced meat in the development of human Y. enterocolitica infections is also discussed.  相似文献

From October 1997 to April 1998, a survey was conducted to assess the occurrence of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in Norwegian pork products, using a traditional culturing method and a PCR assay. A total of 300 pork samples was examined. Five slaughterhouses in the Norwegian Meat Cooperative were represented with 249 samples and another 51 samples were obtained from retail outlets in the city of Oslo. Using the NMKL method, Y. enterocolitica 0:3 was isolated from six (2%) of the samples, while the PCR method indicated presence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in 50 (17%) of the samples. The results indicate that a reduction has occurred in the prevalence of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in Norwegian pork products, as compared to a previous Norwegian study conducted in 1988-1989. The study also highlights the need for further development and improvement of methods applied for the detection of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in foods.  相似文献
