ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the elution-concentration methodology based on skimmed milk flocculation from three varieties of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L. [globe], Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme [cherry] and hybrid cocktail [grape tomato]) for further monitoring of field samples. Spiking experiments were performed to determine the success rate and efficiency recovery of human norovirus (NoV) genogroup II, norovirus murine-1 (MNV-1) used as sample process control virus and human adenovirus (HAdV). Mean values of 18.8%, 2.8% and 44.0% were observed for NoV GII, MNV-1 and HAdV, respectively with differences according to the types of tomatoes, with lower efficiency for cherry tomatoes. Analysis of 90 samples, obtained at commercial establishments in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro State, revealed 4.5% positivity for HAdV. Bacterial analysis was also performed with no detection of Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes and fecal coliforms. Data demonstrated that the skimmed milk flocculation method is suitable for recovering HAdV from tomatoes and highlights the need for considering investigation in order to improve food safety.

ABSTRACT

Cronobacter spp. é um patógeno oportunista que pode causar infecções em indivíduos de qualquer idade, cuja incidência é maior em neonatos, pacientes imunocomprometidos e idosos. Neste estudo Cronobacter spp. foi pesquisado em 90 amostras de queijos (30 do tipo Minas Frescal, 30 do tipo Prato e 30 do tipo Prato fatiado). As espécies isoladas foram identificadas, e foi avaliado o perfil de suscetibilidade a antimicrobianos. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando-se pré-enriquecimento em água peptonada tamponada, enriquecimento seletivo no caldo lauril sulfato triptose contendo vancomicina, isolamento no meio Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar e identificação no Vitek 2.0. As espécies foram identificadas por meio de múltipla PCR com alvo no gene cgcA. O antibiograma foi realizado pela técnica de difusão em ágar (Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp. foi isolada em uma (1,1 %) amostra de queijo tipo Minas Frescal, identificada como C. sakazakii que apresentou sensibilidade a todos os antimicrobianos testados. Cronobacter spp. pode nمo representar risco à saْde dos indivíduos pelo consumo de queijos produzidos com leite pasteurizado. Entretanto, a presença de Cronobacter spp. em uma amostra de queijo demonstra falhas na produção, o que reforça a necessidade de maior adesão às Boas Práticas de Fabricação.


Cronobacter spp. is an opportunistic pathogen that may cause infections in individuals ofany age, and the highest incidence occurs in neonates, immunocompromised patients andelderly persons. This study investigated Cronobacter spp. occurrence in 90 cheese samples(30 “Minas Frescal” type cheeses, 30 “Prato” type and 30 sliced “Prato” type). The isolatedspecies were identified and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolated strains wasevaluated. The microbiological assay was performed with pre-enrichment in buffered peptonewater, and selective-enrichment in modified lauryl sulphate tryptose broth containingvancomycin. Isolation and identification were done in Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar andin Vitek 2.0, respectively. The species identification was performed by multiple PCR targetingcgaA gene. Antibiogram was done using agar diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp.was isolated from one (1.1 %) sample of “Minas Frescal” type cheese, identified as C. sakazakii which was sensitive to all of tested antimicrobials. Cronobacter spp. does not represent arisk to the individuals health by consuming cheeses made from pasteurized milk. However,the presence of Cronobacter spp. in one sample of analyzed cheese indicates failures in their production, reinforcing the need for following the Good Manufacturing Practices.

ABSTRACT

Cronobacter spp. emergiu como perigo microbiológico em fórmulas infantis desidratadas (FID), responsável por infecções graves em neonatos. Contudo, muitos pacientes não ingeriram FID, o que indica que outros alimentos podem atuar como veículo do patógeno. Os objetivos deste estudo foram pesquisar Cronobacter spp. em alimentos infantis, identificar as espécies e avaliar o perfil de suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos das cepas isoladas. Foram analisadas 47 amostras pré-cozidas de cereais à base de grãos, amidos de milho e farinhas lácteas. A pesquisa foi realizada com pré-enriquecimento em água peptonada tamponada, enriquecimento seletivo no Cronobacter Screening Broth, isolamento por meio de Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar e identificação no Vitek 2.0. A identificação das espécies foi realizada por reação em cadeia pela polimerase com alvo nos genes rpoB e cgcA. O antibiograma foi realizado pelo método de difusão em ágar (Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp. foi identificada em 11 amostras (23,4 %). Oito cepas foram identificadas como C. sakazakii (72,7 %), duas como C. malonaticus (18,2 %) e uma como C. dublinensis (9,1 %). Apenas uma cepa de C. malonaticus apresentou resistência intermediária a ciprofloxacina. Os produtos destinados à alimentação infantil avaliados podem apresentar risco, no caso destes alimentos serem ingeridos por pacientes pertencentes ao grupo de risco, como neonatos e idosos.


Cronobacter spp. emerged as a microbiological hazard in powdered infant formulas (PIF)causing severe infections in newborns. However, among these patients many of them had not ingested PIF indicating that other foods categories might be as the pathogen vehicle. This study aimed at investigating Cronobacter spp. in infant foods, identifying the species and evaluatingthe antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolated strains. Forty-seven samples of precooked grain-based cereals, corn starch and milk flours were analyzed. The microbiological analysis was performed with pre-enrichment in buffered peptone water, followed by selective-enrichment in Cronobacter Screening Broth, isolation in Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar and identificationin Vitek 2.0. The identification of species was performed by polymerase chain reaction targetingrpoB and cgaA genes. The antibiogram was carried out using the agar diffusion method(Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp. was identified in 11 samples (23.4 %). Eight strains wereidentified as C. sakazakii (72.7 %), two as C. malonaticus (18.2 %) and one as C. dublinensis (9.1 %). Only one C. malonaticus strain showed an intermediate resistance to ciprofloxacin. The evaluated samples produced for infant feeding might cause hazard when ingested by patients belonging tothe risk group as newborns and elderly.
