Papaya is a fruit that is often consumed in Indonesia and has increased consumption from 2015-2016 based on SUSENAS 2016. Papaya has high water content (85-90%) and the pH is near neutral. This makes papaya vulnerable and suitable medium for the growth of pathogenic microbes. The presence of pathogenic microbes in papaya can cause health problems for those who consumed them. Objectives this study was to observe the microbial content of sliced papaya in the Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method this research was carried out by conducting laboratory tests and the results obtained in the form of a description of microbial content in papaya cut samples. The content of coliform microbes in sliced papaya was tested using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method and biochemical identification. Papaya samples were selected using total sampling method from the University of Sumatera Utara. Results A total of 14 sliced papaya samples were analysed in this study. By using the MPN test it was found that all papaya samples had a microbial threshold exceeding those determined by SNI 7388: 2009 which is below <20 / g. A total of 9 papaya samples (64.28%) contained Klebsiella sp. bacteria, 5 samples (35.72%) contained E.coli bacteria. Conclusions Bacteria found in this study were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp. The presence of microbial content in the sliced papaya sample that exceeds the threshold must be a concern of various parties in the surveillance of snacks being sold.

Concepts of the standard surface plate method and the most probable number method (MPN) were combined to provide a new enumeration technique (plate-MPN). Three discrete 0.01-ml samples of an appropriate decimal dilution were inoculated onto each quadrant of a pre-dried petri plate. The discrete spots from the inoculum were then observed for growth after incubation. Results were interpreted analogous to a 3-tube MPN test using presently available tables. Application of the test to pure cultures and mixed flora provided no evidence to indicate the plate-MPN technique to be any less accurate than the standard technique for microbial counts. The plate-MPN technique was less precise than the standard technique. However, the plate-MPN technique has many advantages over traditional methods.

In this study, the performance of a new most probable number (MPN) test (Pseudalert®/Quanti-Tray®) for the enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from hospital waters was compared with both international and national membrane filtration-based culture methods for P. aeruginosa: ISO 16266:2006 and UK The Microbiology of Drinking Water – Part 8 (MoDW Part 8), which both use Pseudomonas CN agar. The comparison based on the calculation of mean relative differences between the two methods was conducted according to ISO 17994:2014. Using both routine hospital water samples (80 from six laboratories) and artificially contaminated samples (192 from five laboratories), paired counts from each sample and the enumeration method were analysed. For routine samples, there were insufficient data for a conclusive assessment, but the data do indicate at least equivalent performance of Pseudalert®/Quanti-Tray®. For the artificially contaminated samples, the data revealed higher counts of P. aeruginosa being recorded by Pseudalert®/Quanti-Tray®. The Pseudalert®/Quanti-Tray® method does not require confirmation testing for atypical strains of P. aeruginosa, saving up to 6 days of additional analysis, and has the added advantage of providing confirmed counts within 24–28 hours incubation compared to 40–48 hours or longer for the ISO 16266 and MoDW Part 8 methods.

The most-probable-number (MPN) method is often time-consuming for the isolation, detection, and quantification of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from natural sources. MPN counting of V. parahaemolyticus bacteria usually involves the isolation of typical V. parahaemolyticus colonies on selective medium, with subsequent confirmation by biochemical identification. In this study, we evaluated the use of a PCR on MPN enrichment cultures (MPN-PCR) for the direct detection of total and pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus cells in frozen shrimp. This reaction targeted the R72H, tdh, and trh sequences. An internal amplification control was added to the samples before R72H amplification. There was an excellent correlation between the results of the two methods for artificially inoculated and natural shrimp samples. Of 36 natural samples, 28 tested positive for the presence of V. parahaemolyticus, with an MPN value of 2 × 10−1 to 9.2 × 101 per g. No pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus cells were detected. The test had a detection limit of one V. parahaemolyticus organism per g and was completed within two working days. These results support the use of the combination of PCR with MPN for the detection of total or potentially pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus cells in frozen shrimp.

In Europe, large amounts of materials are dredged annually to maintain channels and harbour activities. Consolidation processes in dredged sediments take very long-time due to the high-water content, much more than those considered in the typical problems of geotechnical engineering. The electrokinetic treatment (EK) can be an effective technique to accelerate the dewatering of these sediments and, at the same time, to improve their mechanical properties. An experimental research is under course at the University of Napoli Federico II with the aim to analyse the effects induced by EK treatments on the physic-chemical and mechanical properties of two different soils. Some laboratory tests have been carried out in a special apparatus (special oedometer) adopting two different pore fluids (tap water and sea water). The laboratory results show that the effect of EK treatment, both in terms of induced water flow and improvement of soil mechanical properties, is affected by the chemical properties of the pore fluid and by the physical and mineralogical characteristics of the particles. The results obtained at the macro-scale (specimen) have been analysed at the micro-scale by means of X-ray diffraction analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy, comparing the microstructures of treated and untreated soils specimens.

Escherichia coli is a bacteria that inhabitant in the cattle or human intestine. Raw beef sold in the traditional markets is easily to contaminated by E. coli. It’s because the markets is one of the vulnerable and the risk is high enough against contamination. The goal of this research is to detect E. coli contamination in the fresh raw beef at several markets in Pekanbaru. This research used 100 gr fresh raw beef purchased from the six traditional markets in Pekanbaru. The study begins with a Most probable Number (MPN) test, than isolation and identification of the media ECB and L-EMB, initially with IMViC test (Indol, Methyl Red, Voges Praskauer and Citrate). Results of MPN test showed that all raw beef were contaminated E.coli with MPN varying value.
