Abstract

Raw and washed spinaches were tested to evaluate the incidences of Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Four pathogenic bacteria were isolated from spinach samples, and identified by morphological and biochemical methods, including API and ATB identification systems. Isolates from MacConkey, Cereus Selective, Clostridium Perfringens, and Baird-Parker agar media were in 99.9, 99.8, 99.9, and 97.8% agreements with A. hydrophila, B. cereus, C. perfringens, and S. aureus at the species level, respectively. SET-RPLA revealed, among the five strains of S. aureus isolates, two produced type A enterotoxin. All five strains of B. cereus isolates produced enterotoxin as revealed with CRET-RPLA.

Cook-chill 제품의 원료로 사용하는 시금치와 수세한 시금치에 대해 Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus cereus, Campylococcus spp., Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus 등 12종류의 병원성세균의 존재 여부를 확인하였다. 이들 시금치로부터 4종의 병원성세균을 분리하여 API kit와 ATB 자동 동정기를 포함한 형태학적 및 생화학적 방법에 의해 동정하였다. MacConkey agar에서 분리된 균은 그람 음성 간균으로 glucose를 이용하여 gas를 생성하며, lactose 음성, sucrose 양성, lysine 양성으로 ATP system에서 A. hydrophila 종에 대해 99.9%의 상동성을 보였다. Cereus Selective agar에서 분리된 균은 그람 양성 간균, 포자 형성균으로 catalase 양성, mannitol 음성, lecithinase 양성, Simmon's citrate 음성, $NO_2$ 생성 양성, arginine 양성균으로 ATB system에서 B. cereus 종에 대해 99.8%의 상동성을 보였다. Clostridium Perfringens agar에서 분리된 균은 그람 양성 간균, 혐기성균으로 포자를 형성하며, mannitol 양성, lecithinase 양성으로 ATB system에서 C. perfringens 종에 대해 99.9%의 상동성을 보였다. Baird-Parker agar에서 분리된 균주는 그람 양성 구균으로 mannitol, lecithinase, lactose, clumping factor, coagulase 및 hemolysin 양성, xylose 음성으로 ATB system에서 S. aureus 종에 대해 97.8%의 상동성을 보였다. Salmonella spp., E. coli O157:H7, Y. enterocolitica를 포함한 다른 병원성세균은 분리되지 않았다. 시금치에서 분리한 S. aureus 5균주 중 2균주는 SET-RPLA kit에서 enterotoxin type A를 생성하였고 3균주는 enterotoxin을 생성하지 않았다. B. cereus 5균주는 CRET-RPLA kit에서 모두 enterotoxin을 생성하였다.
