A method to assess the bacterial content of refrigerated meat.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
A new method has been developed to estimate the levels of gram-negative bacteria on refrigerated meat. The method is based on the aminopeptidase activity of these bacteria, which cleaves L-alanine-p-nitroanilide to yield p-nitroaniline, which is easily determined spectrophotometrically. This method allows the determination of levels around 10(6) to 10(7) CFU cm-2 in about 3 h. Because of the yellow color of p-nitroaniline, bacterial loads around 10(7) CFU cm-2 develop a color intense enough to be detected with the naked eye.  相似文献

Heterotrophic bacteria from structural surfaces, drain pan water, and the airstream of a well-maintained air-handling system with no reported building-related illness were enumerated. Visually the system appeared clean, but large populations of bacteria were found on the fin surface of the supply-side cooling coils (10(5) to 10(6) CFU cm-2), in drain pan water (10(5) to 10(7) CFU ml-1), and in the sump water of the evaporative condenser (10(5) CFU ml-1). Representative bacterial colony types recovered from heterotrophic plate count cultures on R2A medium were identified to the genus level. Budding bacteria belonging to the genus Blastobacter dominated the supply surface of the coil fins, the drain pan water, and the postcoil air. These data and independent scanning electron microscopy indicated that a resident population of predominantly Blastobacter bacteria was present as a biofilm on the supply-side cooling coil fins.  相似文献

Nitrate-reducing bacteria on rat tongues.   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
Nitrite-producing bacteria (NPB) were isolated from tongues of laboratory rats. The most commonly found nitrite-producing organism was Staphylococcus sciuri, followed by Staphylococcus intermedius, Pasteurella spp., and finally Streptococcus spp. Both morphometric quantification of bacteria on tongue sections and enumeration of culturable bacteria (CFU) showed an increase in the density of bacteria towards the posterior tongue. Up to 65% of bacteria were located in the deep clefts on the posterior tongue. The proportion of culturable NPB in the total culturable microbial population increased from 6% (10(5) CFU cm-2) on the anterior tongue to 65% (10(7) CFU cm-2) on the posterior tongue. Different species compositions of NPB were found on different tongue sections with S. intermedius populations decreasing and S. sciuri and Pasteurella populations increasing towards the posterior tongue. Nitrite production was sensitive to oxygen, and significant nitrite production was only detected on the posterior tongue where the majority of bacteria are situated in deep clefts in the tongue surface. This study suggests the importance of bacteria in nitrite production, from nitrate, on the tongue. Nitrite produced on the tongue may subsequently form nitric oxide in the acidic environment of the stomach. Because of the antimicrobial properties of nitric oxide, a key role for nitrate-reducing tongue bacteria in host animal defense against food-borne pathogens in proposed.  相似文献

Polyclonal rabbit antisera raised against sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) could detect several distinct populations of bacteria in sediment from the German Baltic Sea. The depth distribution of immunoreactive bacteria was determined by an indirect immunofluorescence filter method. Anti-Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 1926 serum showed maximum bacterial numbers at a depth of 18 cm, with a concentration of 60 x 10(6) cells cm-3. With anti-Desulfovibrio baculatus DSM 2555 serum, counts were highest at the same depth, approaching 0.7 x 10(6) cells cm-3. Other significantly smaller populations were observed. Anti-SRBStrain 1 (lactate,vibrio) maxima were at 0 to 4 cm and at 17 to 18 cm. Anti-SRBStrain 2 (lactate,vibrio) serum showed several local maxima. Anti-SRBStrain 3 (lactate,oval) serum detected one single peak at a depth of 10 to 12 cm. Also determined were rates of sulfate reduction, total bacterial counts by acridine orange staining, and the viable counts by dilution series on anaerobic lactate medium. The total bacterial counts were highest (180 x 10(6) cells cm-3) at 3 to 4 cm and dropped to 24 x 10(6) cells cm-3 at 10 to 11 cm but showed additional local maxima reaching 140 x 10(6) cells cm-3 at a depth of 17 to 18 cm. Viable counts probable number) were above 10(5) CFU cm-3 at 0 to 3.6 cm but remained below 10(3) CFU at 7.2 to 18 cm. The sulfate reduction rate was maximal (107 nmol cm-3 day-1) at a depth of 1 to 2 cm, dropped to 10 nmol cm-3 day-1 at 12 to 13 cm, and reached 38 nmol cm-3 day-1 at 17 to 18 cm.  相似文献

The kinetics of adhesion of Streptococcus sanguis CH3 from suspension to polymers with different surface free energies were studied by using three bacterial concentrations (2.5 X 10(7), 2.5 X 10(8), and 2.5 X 10(9) cells per ml-1). Substratum surface free energies (gamma s) ranged from 18 to 120 erg cm-2. The kinetics of bacterial adhesion to these surfaces showed a typical two-step adhesion process, indicating an equilibrium in both steps. In the initial adhesion step (step 1), low equilibrium numbers of adhering bacteria were counted on substrata with surface free energies lower than 55 erg cm-2. A maximal number adhered on substrata with higher surface free energies. At the lowest bacterial concentration tested, the highest number of bacteria were found on substrata with a surface free energy around 55 erg cm-2. For each substratum, step 2 started after a characteristic time interval tau, being short (30 min) for gamma s less than 50 and long (120 min) for gamma s greater than 50 erg cm-2. The relationship between the substratum surface free energy and the number of bacteria adhering at equilibrium after step 2 was similar to, although less distinct than, that during step 1 with a slight indication of a bioadhesive minimum around gamma s = 35 erg cm-2. The results are indicative of a two-step adhesion model, in which step 1 is controlled by macroscopic substratum properties.  相似文献

New method to study bacterial adhesion to meat.   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
A new method was developed for the study of bacterial adhesion to meat surfaces. Thin slices of meat (40 microns thick) were inserted into a specially designed observation chamber. The meat slices were then exposed to a bacterial suspension (ca. 10(6) CFU.ml-1) to initiate adhesion (20 min of contact time) and subsequently rinsed to eliminate nonadherent bacteria. Because of the special chamber design, the disruptive force exerted on the bacteria during rinsing (shear stress) was uniform over the whole surface of the meat slices, was constant, and could be varied from 0 to 0.08 N.m-2. After being rinsed, the meat slices were stained with basic fuschin and observed under light microscopy to determine the number and distribution of adherent bacteria. This new method was used to study the adhesion of Acinetobacter strain LD2, a Lactobacillus sp., and Pseudomonas fluorescens to slices of beef fat and tendon. At 25 degrees C, most (greater than or equal to 99.9%) of the cells of the Lactobacillus sp. deposited on the meat were washed off the surface during rinsing (0.05 N.m-2), whereas a large number (ca. 10(5) CFU.cm-2) of Acinetobacter strain LD2 and P. fluorescens cells remained adherent. The extent of adhesion was similar on fat and tendon, and adherent bacteria were distributed evenly over the whole surface of the slices. This preliminary study indicates that the combined use of thin slices of meat and of the observation chamber provides us with the means to more accurately study bacterial adhesion to meat surfaces.  相似文献

A naturally occurring suspension of Legionella pneumophila and associated microbiota contained three unidentified non-Legionellaceae bacteria which supported satellite growth of a subculture of L. pneumophila on an L-cysteine-deficient medium and another bacterium which did not support growth of the subculture. Washed suspensions containing 10(3), 10(5), 10(7), or 10(8) CFU of a mixture of isolates of these non-Legionellaceae bacteria failed to support the multiplication of an isolate of agar-grown L. pneumophila which had been washed and seeded into the suspensions. The suspensions which contained 10(3), 10(5), or 10(7) CFU of the non-Legionellaceae bacteria per ml appeared to enhance survival or cryptic growth of agar-grown L. pneumophila. A decline of 1.3 log CFU of L. pneumophila per ml occurred within the first week of incubation in the sample which contained 10(8) CFU of the non-Legionellaceae bacteria per ml. In contrast to these results, naturally occurring L. pneumophila multiplied in the presence of associated microbiota. The necessity to subculture L. pneumophila and the non-Legionellaceae bacteria on artificial medium to obtain pure cultures may have affected the multiplication of L. pneumophila in tap water. Alternatively, other microorganisms may be present in the naturally occurring suspension which support the growth of this bacterium.  相似文献

Seasonal variations in the hydrocarbon-degrading potential of soil samples from an unimpacted site in the Kuwaiti Burgan oil field environment were studied under mesophilic conditions. Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms occurred but varied all-year-round, and their numbers ranged from 1.3 x 10(7) to 9.3 x 10(7) CFU g(-1) dry soil, while hydrocarbon-degrading fungi ranged from 3.0 x 10(4) - 3.8 x 10(5) CFU g(-1) dry soil, depending on the sampling period. These hydrocarbon-degraders also comprised variable but generally high proportions of the total aerobic heterotrophic organisms (2 to > 98%) for bacteria and lower levels (7-9%) for fungi. The crude oil-degrading capacity of the oil-degrading populations (bacteria and fungi) ranged from 80-95% of the hexane-extractable fractions. Differential inhibition studies carried out on soil samples showed that bacteria were the greater contributors to hydrocarbon degradation (79-92%) than fungi. Pure hydrocarbon substrates, hexadecane and phenanthrene, were degraded to near completion after a 28-day incubation by both the bacterial and fungal portions of the soil flora.  相似文献

为了考查应用电解水消除细菌污染的可行性,对氧化电解水的杀菌效果及对食品加工表面材料的消毒效果进行了研究。结果表明,含0.1%NaCl的自来水经7min的电解后所获得的氧化电解水,能在2min内将菌液浓度分别为4.20×106CFU/mL,2.18×106CFU/mL,1.44×106CFU/mL,2.10×106CFU/mL,1.94×106CFU/mL的埃希氏大肠杆菌(Escherichia coliO157:H7)、沙门氏菌(Salmonella enteritidis)、单核细胞增生李斯特菌(Listeria monocytogenes)、摩化摩根菌(Morganella morganii)、副溶血性弧菌(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)几乎全部杀死。另外,对食品加工表面接触材料中的地板砖、不锈钢板、瓷砖进行染菌消毒试验结果表明,含0.1%NaCl的电解水同样能将上述浓度的菌液感染到食品表面接触材料后在5min之内几乎全部将其杀死,是一种理想的食品表面材料消毒剂。  相似文献

AIMS: To apply fluorescent staining method for fast assessment of microbial quality of herbal medicines. METHODS AND RESULTS: The number of total bacteria and esterase-active bacteria on powdered traditional Chinese medicines were enumerated by fluorescent staining method using 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (6CFDA) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and they were compared with colony-forming units (CFU). The CFU was approximately 10(3) per gram in ginseng radix, and no bacterial colonies were detected from others. However, the total bacterial number (TDC) was more than 10(7) per gram, and number of bacteria possessing esterase activity ranged from 1 to 3% of TDC. CONCLUSIONS, SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Many bacteria in each Chinese medicine had enzyme activity and most of them could not be detected by conventional plate counting technique. Enumeration of bacterial cells on traditional Chinese medicines by fluorescent staining method requires less than 1 h. The double staining method with 6CFDA and DAPI could be applicable to rapid microbial monitoring of crude drugs.  相似文献

Bulk-soap-refillable dispensers are prone to extrinsic bacterial contamination, and recent studies demonstrated that approximately one in four dispensers in public restrooms are contaminated. The purpose of this study was to quantify bacterial hand contamination and transfer after use of contaminated soap under controlled laboratory and in-use conditions in a community setting. Under laboratory conditions using liquid soap experimentally contaminated with 7.51 log(10) CFU/ml of Serratia marcescens, an average of 5.28 log(10) CFU remained on each hand after washing, and 2.23 log(10) CFU was transferred to an agar surface. In an elementary-school-based field study, Gram-negative bacteria on the hands of students and staff increased by 1.42 log(10) CFU per hand (26-fold) after washing with soap from contaminated bulk-soap-refillable dispensers. In contrast, washing with soap from dispensers with sealed refills significantly reduced bacteria on hands by 0.30 log(10) CFU per hand (2-fold). Additionally, the mean number of Gram-negative bacteria transferred to surfaces after washing with soap from dispensers with sealed-soap refills (0.06 log(10) CFU) was significantly lower than the mean number after washing with contaminated bulk-soap-refillable dispensers (0.74 log(10) CFU; P < 0.01). Finally, significantly higher levels of Gram-negative bacteria were recovered from students (2.82 log(10) CFU per hand) than were recovered from staff (2.22 log(10) CFU per hand) after washing with contaminated bulk soap (P < 0.01). These results demonstrate that washing with contaminated soap from bulk-soap-refillable dispensers can increase the number of opportunistic pathogens on the hands and may play a role in the transmission of bacteria in public settings.  相似文献

Manganese Oxidation by Bacterial Isolates from the Indian Ridge System   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The abundance and activity of culturable manganese-oxidizing bacteria were assessed from near-bottom water samples of the tectonically active Carlsberg Ridge. Retrievable counts as colony forming units (CFU) on dilute nutrient agar medium (dilNA = 2 gm l−1 nutrient broth+2% agar) and on dilNA supplemented with 1, 2 and 3 mM MnCl2·4H2O were in the order of 106 CFU l−1. Retrievability of heterotrophs ranged from non-detectable levels (ND) to 2.82 × 106 CFU l−1. The retrievable counts on Mn amended dilNA ranged from ND to 3.21× 106, 1.47 × 106 and 1.45 × 106 CFU l−1 on 1, 2 and 3 mM, respectively. About 87% of the Mn tolerant isolates (n = 39) showed taxonomic affinities to Pseudomonas I and II sp. Two representative strains CR35 and CR48 (CR–Carlsberg Ridge) isolated on manganese-supplemented media were tested for their ability to tolerate a range of Mn amendments from 1 nM to 100 mM in terms of growth and respiration. CR35 represents 66% of the total CFU (3.04 × 106 CFU l−1), while CR48 represented only 6% of the total CFU (1.05 × 106 CFU l−1). The colonies of these two isolates were dark brown in color suggesting precipitation of Mn as oxide. Tests for the effect on growth and respiration were conducted in media simulating heterotrophic (amended with 0.01% glucose) and lithotrophic (unamended) conditions. Maximum stimulation in growth and respiration of CR35 occurred at 100 μM Mn both in unamended and amended media. At levels of Mn greater than 100 μM the counts decreased steadily. Total respiring cells of CR48 were stimulated to a maximum at 1 μM Mn in unamended medium and 1 nM in amended medium. Total cells counts for the same decreased beyond 100 μM Mn in unamended and 1 nM in amended medium. The isolates were tested for their ability to oxidize Mn ammendments from 1 μM to 10 mM Mn. At the end of a 76-day incubation period, there was evidence of manganese oxide precipitation at high Mn concentrations (≥1 mM) as a dark brown coloration on the sides of culture tubes. Highest Mn oxidation rates were observed at 10 mM Mn(II) concentration with CR35 oxidizing 27 and 25 μM Mn day−1 in unamended and amended condition, respectively. CR48 oxidized Mn at the rate of 26 μM Mn day−1 in unamended medium and 35 μM Mn day−1 in amended medium. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of both isolates revealed free-living cells in clustered matrices ≈2 μm diameter. Energy dispersive spectrum of the cell matrix of CR35 cultured in 1 mM Mn detected 30% Mn, while the cell aggregates of CR48 harbored 7–10% Mn. The relatively high specific activity of these mixotrophic bacteria under relatively oligotrophic conditions suggests that they may be responsible for scavenging dissolved Mn from the Carlsberg Ridge waters and could potentially participate in oxidation.  相似文献

The adhesion of the oral bacterium Streptococcus sanguis CH3 to various polymeric surfaces with surface free energies (gamma s) ranging from 22 to 141 erg cm-2 was investigated. Suspensions containing nine different bacterial concentrations (2.5 X 10(7) to 2.5 X 10(9) cells per ml) were used. After adhesion for 1 h at 21 degrees C and a standardized rinsing procedure, the number of attached bacteria per square centimeter (nb) was determined by scanning electron microscopy. The highest number of bacteria was consistently found on polytetrafluorethylene (gamma s = 22 erg cm-2), and the lowest number was found on glass (gamma s = 141 erg cm-2) at all bacterial concentrations tested. The overall negative correlation between nb and gamma s was weak. However, the slope of the line showing this decrease, calculated from an assumed linear relationship between nb and gamma s, appeared to depend strongly on the bacterial concentration and increased with increasing numbers of bacteria in the suspension. Analysis of the data for each separate polymer showed that the numbers of attached cells on polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene were higher but that those on polycarbonate were lower than would be expected on basis of a linear relationship between nb and gamma s. Desorption experiments were performed by first allowing the bacteria to attach to substrata for 1 h, after which the substrata and attached bacteria were removed to bacterial suspensions containing 10-fold lower bacterial concentrations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Recent studies evaluating bulk soap in public restroom soap dispensers have demonstrated up to 25% of open refillable bulk-soap dispensers were contaminated with ~ 6 log(10)(CFU ml(-1)) heterotrophic bacteria. In this study, plastic counter-mounted, plastic wall-mounted and stainless steel wall-mounted dispensers were analyzed for suspended and biofilm bacteria using total cell and viable plate counts. Independent of dispenser type or construction material, the bulk soap was contaminated with 4-7 log(10)(CFU ml(-1)) bacteria, while 4-6 log(10)(CFU cm(-2)) biofilm bacteria were isolated from the inside surfaces of the dispensers (n = 6). Dispenser remediation studies, including a 10 min soak with 5000 mg l(-1) sodium hypochlorite, were then conducted to determine the efficacy of cleaning and disinfectant procedures against established biofilms. The testing showed that contamination of the bulk soap returned to pre-test levels within 7-14 days. These results demonstrate biofilm is present in contaminated bulk-soap dispensers and remediation studies to clean and sanitize the dispensers are temporary.  相似文献

Two plant pathogenic Pseudomonas spp. were formulated using the 'Stabileze' method which involves the incorporation of bacteria in a water-absorbent starch matrix with oil and sucrose, then granulating the matrix with hydrated silica. In one experiment, P. syringae pv. tabaci formulated with the standard Stabileze formula was evaluated for storage viability at -15, 2 and 22°C. Bacteria stored for 1 year at -15 and 2°C lost only 0.2 and 0.5 log 10 colony forming units (CFU) g -1 respectively compared to a loss of log 10 3.5 CFU at 22°C. In a second experiment, the same pathogen was evaluated using variations of the formula with and without oil, and with and without sucrose. P.s. pv. tabaci formulated with sucrose and oil in combination, and sucrose and oil alone survived better than the formulation without oil or sucrose. A third experiment tested the effect of four levels of oil and four levels of sucrose (4 ×4 factorial) on survival of P.s. pv. tagetis over a 28 month period. Sucrose alone enhanced survival more than oil alone, and the beneficial effect of the sucrose was reduced when it was combined with oil. These experiments suggest that the Stabileze protocol is effective for stabilizing bacteria, but there are differences in response to different formulation components between species of bacteria.  相似文献
