Abstract

The viability of Shigella sonnei, a significant cause of gastroenteritis in Korea, on TSA plates was determined after sublethal heating treatments and NaCl treatments. In addition, recovery levels of sublethally injured cells on TSA plates containing different concentrations of NaCl (TSAS) were investigated. The viability decreased significantly with increasing degree of sublethal heating treatments, but increases in NaCI treatment concentration from 0 to 6% had little effect on the viability. After being sublethally treated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, bacterial populations were reduced by 7.58, 7.83 and 7.93 log CFU/mL on 2, 4, and 6% TSAS, respectively. After being sublethally treated at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, bacterial populations were reduced by 6.71, 6.73, and 6.73 log CFU/mL on 2, 4 and 6% TSAS, respectively. Decimal reduction times (D-values) decreased with increasing NaCl treatment concentrations after sublethal heating at 55 or $60^{\circ}C$. These data imply that the S. sonnei cells sublethally injured by insufficient heating processes had a lower recovery rate with increasing NaCl concentrations in the recovery media.

본 연구에서는 우리 나라 세균성 이질을 유발하는 주요 원인 균인 S. sonnei를 대상으로 불충분한 열처리와 NaCl 처리에 따른 각각의 생존균수 변화와 불충분한 열처리 후 다양한 NaCl 농도 (0, 2, 4, 6%) 하에서 sublethal injured cell의 회복정도를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 불충분한 열처리 정도가 증가함에 따라 생존균수가 유의적인 감소를 나타내었으나, NaCl 처리시 NaCl 농도가 6% 까지 증가함에 따라서 생존균수의 변화가 거의 없었다. 그리고 $55^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 열처리후 2% TSAS 배지에서 7.58 log CFU/mL, 4% TSAS 배지에서 7.83 log CFU/mL, 그리고 6% TSAS 배지에서 7.93 log CFU/mL 만큼 각각 생성된 colony 숫자가 감소 한 것으로 조사되었고, $60^{\circ}C$에서 30분동안 열처리후 2% TSAS 배지에서 6.71 log CFU/mL, 4% TSAS 배지에서 6.73 log CFU/mL, 그리고 6% TSAS 배지에서 6.73 log CFU/mL 만큼 각각 생성된 colony 숫자가 감소한 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 동일한 온도에서 sublethal heating후 노출된 NaCl 농도가 증가함에 따라서 D-value가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 불충분한 열처리 과정에 의하여 생성된 sublethal injured cell들이 열처리후 회복되는 과정에서 배지의 NaCl 농도가 증가함에 따라서 회복정도가 감소하였음을 의미한다.
