ABSTRACT
No Brasil os peixes são um dos alimentos mais consumidos no grupo dos pescados, pelo fato da maioria das pessoas não poderem consumir outro alimento do mesmo grupo, devido ao alto custo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade microbiológica dos peixes comercializados no Mercado Público das Rocas na cidade de Natal-RN, discutindo-se os parâmetros higienicossanitários dos locais onde são comercializados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa e experimental. A coleta de dados contou com análise microbiológica dos peixes comercializados em diferentes boxes onde são vendidos, aplicando-se testes presuntivo e confirmativo para Coliformes totais, Estafilococos coagulase positiva e Salmonella sp. Quanto ao resultado encontrado, observou-se, em um total de 20 amostras coletadas em dias alternados, a presença de 90% na contagem de Coliformes a 35°C de até 10
ln Brazil, fish are one of the most consumed foods in the fish group, because most people can not consume other food from the same group, due to the high cost. The objective of this work was to evaluate the microbiological quality of the fish commercialized in the Public Market of the Rocks in the city of Natal-RN, in which the hygienic sanitary parameters of the fish selling points were discussed. This is a quantitative and qualitative research. Data collection included microbiological analysis of the fish commercialized in different boxes selling the same, in which preparation and dilution were carried out, a presumptive and confirmatory test for Total Coliforms, Positive Coagulase Staphylococci and Salmonella sp. As for the result found, it was observed that in a general total of 20 samples that had collections on alternate days, where in one week 10 samples were collected, and soon after seven days the remaining 10 samples were collected, it was verified the presence of 90% in the Coliform counts at 35°C of up to 10

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los patrones de resistencia antimicrobiana en bacterias indicadoras aisladas de muestras fecales de animales domésticos. La concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) fue determinada por el método de dilución en agar. El criterio de interpretación usado se basó en la distribución de la CIM y el punto de corte epidemiológico (ECOFF o ECV) de acuerdo con los datos del European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). Los resultados obtenidos de 237 aislamientos de Escherichia coli mostraron sensibilidad reducida a ampicilina, estreptomicina y tetraciclina, antimicrobianos comúnmente usados en porcinos y aves de explotación intensiva. Con respecto a todas las especies del género Enterococcus spp., solo existe ECOFF o ECV para la vancomicina. De los 173 Enterococcus spp. aislados, sólo uno presentó sensibilidad reducida a dicho agente y fue categorizado como población 'non-wild-type' (NWT). Este es el primer informe en Argentina que presenta datos de puntos de corte epidemiológico en bacterias animales
The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance profiles of indicator bacteria isolated from domestic animal feces. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by agar dilution. Interpretative criteria on the basis of wild-type MIC distributions and epidemiological cutoff values (ECOFF or ECV) were used according to the 'European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing' (EUCAST) data. Results from 237 isolates of Escherichia coli showed reduced susceptibility for ampicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline, the antimicrobials commonly used in intensive breeding of pigs and hens. Regarding all the species of the genus Enterococcus spp., there are only ECOFF or ECV for vancomycin. Of the 173 Enterococcus spp. isolated, only one showed reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and was classifi ed as 'non-wild-type' (NWT) population. This is the fi rst report in Argentina showing data of epidemiological cutoff values in animal bacteria
