Abstract

From April to December in 2009, microbial investigation is accomplished for 100 frozen foods asked to microbial control team that corresponds with total aerobic viable bacteria, coliform group, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp. and antibiotic resistance patterns of Enterococcus spp. isolates are investigated. Average of total erobic viable bacteria numbers is $4.3{\times}10^4CFU/g$. Average of coliform group numbers is $4.3{\times}10^3CFU/g$. Average f Enterococcus spp. numbers is $1.8{\times}10^3CFU/g$. Escherichia coli from 100 frozen foods is not detected and detection ate is 0.0%. 22 Enterococcus spp. are isolated from 100 frozen foods. 12 of 22 Enterococcus spp. strains are identified as E. faecium. 7 of 22 Enterococcus spp. strains are identified as E. faecalis. 2 of 22 Enterococcus spp. trains are identified as E. gallinarum. 1 of 22 Enterococcus spp. strains is identified as E. hirae. Enterococcus spp. solates show a high resistance to erythromycin, rifampin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, chlorampenicol, penicillin and susceptibility to vancomycin, ampicillin, gentamicin, strepomycin, linezolid. 15 of 22 Enterococcus spp. strains are multi-resistant and the most frequent multi-resistant pattern is erythromycin-rifampin for 6 Enterococcus spp. strains.

2009년 4월부터 12월까지 서울시 보건환경연구원 미생물 관리팀에 의뢰된 냉동식품 100건을 대상으로 일반세균수, 대장균군수, 대장균과 장구균의 오염도를 조사였으며, 분리된 장구균을 대상으로 하여 항생제 감수성 검사를 실시하였다. 일반세균수는 평균 검출량이 $4.3{\times}10^4CFU/g$ 이고 대장균군수는 평균 검출량이 $4.3{\times}10^3CFU/g$ 이고 대장균은 100건 모두에서 불검출되어 0.0%의 검출률을 보였다. 100건의 검체 중 총 22건에서 장구균이 분리되었으며 이 가운데 12주는 E. faecium, 7주는 E. faecalis, 2주는 E. gallinarum, 1주는 E. hirae이었다. 분리균주의 항생제 내성률을 검사 한 결과, 내성을 나타내는 항생제들은 erythroycin, rifampin, teracycline ciprofloxacin, chlorampenicol, penicillin이며, vancomycin, ampicillin, gentamicin, strepomycin, linezolid에 대해서는 모두 감수성이었다. 또 22건의 분리 균주 중에서 2종 이상의 항생제에 다제 내성을 나타낸 균주가 15주나 되며 가장 많은 형태로는 6균주의 장구균에서 나타난 E-RA에 대한 것이었다.
