Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the microbiological hazard of spoons and their cases carried by nursery school children and to evaluate the reduction effects of washing methods and ultraviolet (UV) treatments against Escherichia coli on the spoon and spoon case. A total of 78 spoons and their cases were sampled to test about total aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella spp. Total aerobic bacteria were detected over 2.7 log CFU/100 $cm^2$ in 20 out of 36 spoons (55.6%), 9 out of 20 zipper-type spoon cases (45.0%) and 13 out of 22 plastic-type spoon cases (59.1%). Coliform bacteria were also detected in 19 out of 36 spoons (52.8%), 14 out of 20 zipper-type spoon cases (70.0%) and 14 out of 22 plastic-type spoon cases (63.6%). The pathogens tested in this study were not found in all samples except for the zipper-type spoon cases which were contaminated with Staph. aureus (2 samples) and B. cereus (3 samples). The results indicated that the sanitary conditions of spoons and their cases should be improved promptly. To evaluate the reduction effects of washing methods and UV treatments against E. coli, the spoons and their cases were treated at different cleaning times with and without soap, and different UV exposure times, respectively. E. coli with initial cell number of 4 log CFU on the spoons and their cases was not detected when they were cleaned at running water for 30 sec after dish sponging with soap for 30 sec. In UV treatments, E. coli with the same level of washing method was not detected after UV exposure for 15 minute in the spoons and their cases. From the results, the washing and UV treatment should be used to control the microbial contamination of spoons and their cases for more than 1 and 15 minutes, respectively.

어린이집 유아 휴대 수저 및 수저집의 미생물 오염도를 분석하고, 가정과 어린이집에서 수저 및 수저집의 위생 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 세척 방법과 자외선 살균소독 시간을 제시하고자 유아 휴대 수저 36건 및 수저집 42건 등 총 78건을 실험하였다. 수저 36건 중 20건(55.6%), 지퍼형 수저집 20건 중 9건(45.0%), 플라스틱형 수저집 22건 중 13건(59.1%)에서 2.7 log CFU/$100cm^2$ 이상의 일반세균수가 검출되어 즉각적인 위생조치를 강구해야 하는 수준으로 조사되었다. 또한, 수저 36건 중 19건(52.8%), 지퍼형 수저집 20건 중 14건(70.0%), 플라스틱형 수저집 22건 중 14건(63.6%)에서 대장균군이 검출되어 어린이집 유아 휴대 수저 및 수저집에 대한 위생조치가 요구되며, 가장 높은 위해수준을 나타낸 지퍼형 수저집에 대한 각별한 주의가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 수저와 플라스틱형 수저집에서는 실험한 모든 식중독 미생물이 검출되지 않았으나, 지퍼형 수저집 20건 중 2건(10.0%)에서 Staph. aureus가 검출되었고, 3건(13.6%)에서 B. cereus가 검출되어 지퍼형 수저집이 식중독 미생물 오염에 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 세척 방법에 따른 미생물 저감화 효과를 실험한 결과 수세미에 주방세제를 첨가하여 30초간 세척한 후 30초간 흐르는 수돗물로 세척했을 경우 수저, 지퍼형 및 플라스틱형 수저집 모두 대장균이 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 가정에서 수저 및 수저집을 1분 이상 깨끗이 세척, 건조시켜야 될 것으로 판단되었다. 자외선 살균소독 시간에 따른 미생물 저감화 효과를 실험한 결과 15분 살균시 대장균이 검출되지 않아 어린이집에서 수저 및 수저집을 15분 이상 자외선 살균소독기로 살균할 경우 대장균을 제어할 수 있을 것으로 판단되나, 각 어린이집의 자외선 살균소독기의 램프 출력량과 살균대상 수저집의 수량을 고려하여 각각의 제조사가 제시하는 자외선 살균소독기 권장살균시간 이상 수저 및 수저집을 살균하여 제공하여야할 것으로 판단된다.
