Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the performances of conventional microbiological media used in isolation of Shigella spp. from foods. Total of six selective media, including MacConkey agar (MAC), Salmonella Shigella agar (SSA), desoxycholate citrate agar (DCA), xylose lysine desoxycholate agar (XLD), hektoen enteric agar (HEA), and CHROMagar, were tested. MAC showed almost the same colony numbers as compared to tryptic soy agar (TSA) while DCA showed significantly lower colony numbers when cultivated Shigella spp. was counted in each medium. In a food recovery test with beef, pork and shrimp, S. sonnei recovered well on CHROMagar (p<0.05). With lettuce and cabbage, S. sonnei displayed significantly significant recovery (p<0.05) on SSA in comparison with other selective media. Heat-injured cells recovered well on MAC and SSA. In a specificity test using Enterobacteriaceae strains, HEA was identified as having the highest specificity among the tested media. However, Morganella spp. could not be differentiated from Shigella spp. on any of the tested selective media. Shigella spp. precluded the possibility of isolation from foods by a single 'best' selective medium. Consequently, a combination of complementary selective media or selection of appropriate media according to cell conditions must be considered for comprehensive isolation.

본 연구는 식품으로부터 Shigella spp.를 검출하기 위해서 현재 사용되고 있는 분리배지를 대상으로 분리 성능을 비교하였다. MAC, SSA, DCA, XLD, HEA와 CHROMagar 총 6개의 분리배지를 대상으로 비교하였다. 일반 Shigella spp. 에 대한 성장은 MAC에서 TSA와 비슷한 수준 균수를 보였고 DCA에서 낮은 균수로 측정되었다. 소고기, 돼지고기, 새우를 대상으로 한 회수실험은 S. sonnei가 CHROMagar에서 성장이 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05) 양상추와 양배추에서는 S. sonnei가 SSA에서의 성장이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 식품 상재균은 소고기, 새우, 양배추에서 전체적으로 낮은 수준으로 측정되었으나 각 배지에서 유의적 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 열 스트레스를 받은 S. sonnei는 MAC, SSA에서만 성장하였다. Enterobacteriaceae를 대상으로 한 선택성 측정 결과 HEA가 가장 높은 선택성을 나타내었다. Morganella spp.는 각 분리배지에서 Shigella spp.와 구분되지 못하였다. 실험에 사용된 배지는 각각의 조건에 따라 분리되는 특성이 상이하므로 식품에서 분리배지를 이용하여 Shigella spp.를 분리하고자 할 경우 분리 균의 상태에 따라 분리배지를 선택하여 사용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각되었다.
