Comparative Studies of Bacillus Cereus Strains Isolated From Various Foods and Food Poisoning Outbreaks

Certain properties of 22 Bacillus cereus strains isolated from different foods and food poisoning episodes were investigated in order to evaluate possible différences between strains isolated from diarrhoeal and vomiting type food poisoning outbreaks. None of the strains isolated from vomiting type episodes produced acid from salicin and mannose, whereas 80 and 40 % of the strains from diarrhoeal type outbreaks were positive, respectively. No association between the antibiotic sensitivity pattern or the fatty acid composition and the source of a strain could be found, although some strains differed from the general pattern of B. cereus in some instances. No significant differences in the production of the skin factor between strains isolated from the two types of outbreaks were found either. The findings of this study support the observation that the food environment itself essentially affects the enterotoxin formation of B. cereus.     

Toxigenic Strains of Bacillus licheniformis Related to Food Poisoning

Toxin-producing isolates of Bacillus licheniformis were obtained from foods involved in food poisoning incidents, from raw milk, and from industrially produced baby food. The toxin detection method, based on the inhibition of boar spermatozoan motility, has been shown previously to be a sensitive assay for the emetic toxin of Bacillus cereus, cereulide. Cell extracts of the toxigenic B. licheniformis isolates inhibited sperm motility, damaged cell membrane integrity, depleted cellular ATP, and swelled the acrosome, but no mitochondrial damage was observed. The responsible agent from the B. licheniformis isolates was partially purified. It showed physicochemical properties similar to those of cereulide, despite having very different biological activity. The toxic agent was nonproteinaceous; soluble in 50 and 100% methanol; and insensitive to heat, protease, and acid or alkali and of a molecular mass smaller than 10,000 g mol⁻¹. The toxic B. licheniformis isolates inhibited growth of Corynebacterium renale DSM 20688^T, but not all inhibitory isolates were sperm toxic. The food poisoning-related isolates were beta-hemolytic, grew anaerobically and at 55°C but not at 10°C, and were nondistinguishable from the type strain of B. licheniformis, DSM 13^T, by a broad spectrum of biochemical tests. Ribotyping revealed more diversity; the toxin producers were divided among four ribotypes when cut with PvuII and among six when cut with EcoRI, but many of the ribotypes also contained nontoxigenic isolates. When ribotyped with PvuII, most toxin-producing isolates shared bands at 2.8 ± 0.2, 4.9 ± 0.3, and 11.7 ± 0.5 or 13.1 ± 0.8 kb.     

Probiotic Potential of Bacillus Strains Isolated from an Acidic Fermented Food Idli

Present study is intended to assess the probiotic properties of Bacillus spp. isolated from idli batter, a traditional fermented food of Southern India and Sri Lanka. A total of 32 isolates were screened for potential pathogenic behaviour through haemolysis assay, DNase activity and antibiotics sensitivity. Two of the isolates were found to be potentially safe and identified as Bacillus spp. These strains were characterized for in vitro probiotic attributes and antioxidant activity. Both the strains showed strong acid and bile tolerance, transit tolerance, lysozyme tolerance, cell surface hydrophobicity, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, biofilm formation potential and adhesion to human colon adenocarcinoma (HT 29) cell line demonstrating potential probiotic ability. These strains also exhibited considerable cholesterol binding, thermostability, β-galactosidase production, proteolytic, amylolytic and lipolytic activity. Cell-free supernatant inhibited the biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KT266804) to 90%. Intact cells showed significant DPPH (41%), hydroxyl (31%), radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition (20.38%), while cell-free extracts exhibited significant superoxide anion radical scavenging activity (16.25%). Results revealed that isolates could be potential probiotic candidate after further assessment of in vivo probiotic properties and safety evaluation and could be utilised as starter cultures in functional foods.

     

Pathogenicity of Salmonella Strains Isolated from Egg Shells and the Layer Farm Environment in Australia

In Australia, the egg industry is periodically implicated during outbreaks of Salmonella food poisoning. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and other nontyphoidal Salmonella spp., in particular, are a major concern for Australian public health. Several definitive types of Salmonella Typhimurium strains, but primarily Salmonella Typhimurium definitive type 9 (DT9), have been frequently reported during egg-related food poisoning outbreaks in Australia. The aim of the present study was to generate a pathogenicity profile of nontyphoidal Salmonella isolates obtained from Australian egg farms. To achieve this, we assessed the capacity of Salmonella isolates to cause gastrointestinal disease using both in vitro and in vivo model systems. Data from in vitro experiments demonstrated that the invasion capacity of Salmonella serovars cultured to stationary phase (liquid phase) in LB medium was between 90- and 300-fold higher than bacterial suspensions in normal saline (cultured in solid phase). During the in vivo infection trial, clinical signs of infection and mortality were observed only for mice infected with either 10³ or 10⁵ CFU of S. Typhimurium DT9. No mortality was observed for mice infected with Salmonella serovars with medium or low invasive capacity in Caco-2 cells. Pathogenicity gene profiles were also generated for all serovars included in this study. The majority of serovars tested were positive for selected virulence genes. No relationship between the presence or absence of virulence genes by PCR and either in vitro invasive capacity or in vivo pathogenicity was detected. Our data expand the knowledge of strain-to-strain variation in the pathogenicity of Australian egg industry-related Salmonella spp.     

Biochemical Characteristics and Enterotoxigenicity of Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Poultry

About half (49%) of strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from poultry were non-typable with the international human set of phages, and 55% were biotype B according to the biochemical identification scheme of Hájek & Maršálek (1971, 1973). A furthest neighbour clustering strategy and principal coordinate analysis based on 17 biochemical tests made clear distinctions between biotype B strains and a group of biotype A and intermediate strains. Overall 62% of strains were enterotoxigenic, the majority producing enterotoxin A. Significantly fewer intermediate strains than biotype A or B strains were enterotoxigenic. Starch gel zymograms of intracellular esterases showed a general correlation with the biotyping and phage typing results.     

An Epidemiological Study of Salmonella enteritidis by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE): Several PFGE Patterns Observed in Isolates from a Food Poisoning Outbreak

An epidemiological analysis of Salmonella enteritidis from a food poisoning was done using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of BlnI- or XbaI-digested fragments of chromosomal DNA of isolates. S. enteritidis isolates obtained from 19 patients had identical PFGE patterns. Therefore, a strain giving the same pattern was considered to be the causative agent of this outbreak. In addition, four isolates that had different BlnI-digested PFGE patterns were obtained from three patients, suggesting that the observed variations in PFGE patterns might occur as the result of some point mutations of chromosomal DNA during growth or from the existence of several S. enteritidis strains from various sources. Subsequent PFGE analysis of continuously subcultured strains supported the former possibility. These observations indicate that PFGE analysis on multiple numbers of colonies from each patient are necessary for the epidemiologic investigation of S. enteritidis.     

Epidemiological Characteristics of bla NDM-1 in Enterobacteriaceae and the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii Complex in China from 2011 to 2012

Objectives

The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of bla _NDM-1 (encoding New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1) in Enterobacteriaceae and the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) in China from July 2011 to June 2012.

Methods

PCR was used to screen for the presence of bla _NDM-1 in all organisms studied. For bla _NDM-1-positive strains, 16S rRNA analysis and Analytical Profile Index (API) strips were used to identify the bacterial genus and species. The ABCs were reconfirmed by PCR detection of bla _OXA-51-like. Antibiotic susceptibilities of the bacteria were assessed by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of them using two-fold agar dilution test, as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Molecular typing was performed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). S1 nuclease-pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (S1-PFGE) and Southern blot hybridization were conducted to ascertain the gene location of bla _NDM-1. Conjugation experiments were conducted to determine the transmission of bla _NDM-1-positive strains.

Results

Among 2,170 Enterobacteriaceae and 600 ABCs, seven Enterobacteriaceae strains and two A. calcoaceticus isolates from five different cities carried the bla _NDM-1 gene. The seven Enterobacteriaceae strains comprised four Klebsiella pneumoniae, one Enterobacter cloacae, one Enterobacter aerogen and one Citrobacter freundii. All seven were non-susceptible to imipenem, meropenem or ertapenem. Two A. calcoaceticus species were resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Three K. pneumoniae showed the same PFGE profiles. The bla _NDM-1 genes of eight strains were localized on plasmids, while one was chromosomal.

Conclusions

Compared with previous reports, the numbers and species containing the bla _NDM-1 in Enterobacteriaceae have significantly increased in China. Most of them are able to disseminate the gene, which is cause for concern. Consecutive surveillance should be implemented and should also focus on the dissemination of bla _NDM-1 among gram-negative clinical isolates.
