Four hundred fifty-five microbial isolates from seafoods were replicated on tryptone-peptone-yeast extract agar with 0.5% NaCl (TPE), trypticase soy agar with 3.0% NaCl (TSA), and plate count agar with no added NaCl (PCA). Daughter plates were incubated at 5, 25, 35, and 37 C, and colonies that developed on the plates were identified. At 25 C, 7% of TPE isolates failed to grow on PCA and 4% on TSA. The difference was mainly caused by Pseudomonas type III species, 24% of which failed to grow on PCA; Pseudomonas type II species, 13% of which failed on PCA; and Flavobacterium-Cutophaga species, 18% of which failed on TSA. Except for the reference mesophilic, cultures of Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Escherichia coli, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus—which grew equally well at 25 and 35 C but failed to grow at 5 C—49% of colonies growing at 25 C failed to grow at 35 C, and 17% at 5 C. Microbial groups in order of sensitivity to 35 C were Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Moraxella, Micrococcus, Flavobacterium-Cytophaga, and Acinetobacter, with the respective growth failures at 35 C of 68, 51, 46, 42, 33, and 29%. Microbial groups that failed to grow at 5 C in the order of sensitivity were, Flavobacterium-Cutophaga, Acinetobacter, Arthrobacter, and Moraxella with respective growth failures of 40, 26, 12, and 9%.

This is a review of reports that employed aerobic plate counts on fresh meat and poultry products since 1985; it lists synopses of 100 applications. A total of 15 different plating media were used, with 48 (48%) being either plate count agar (PCA) or tryptone glucose yeast extract agar. The temperature-time relations ranged from a low temperature of 20°C for 120 h to 37°C for 24 h. Some 29 different temperature-time combinations were used among the total of 109, with 21 (19.3%) being 35°C/48 h, followed by 12 (11.0%) at 32°C/48 h, 11 (10.1%) at 25°C/48 h, and 9 (8.3%) at 25°C/72 h. Fifty-four (49.5%) plate count applications employed incubation temperatures of 30°C and below. From the 26 reports that employed psychrotrophic counts, 16 (61.5%) used PCA; 18 different temperature-time combinations were used, with 7°C/10 d employed by only four. Twenty-one (80.8%) employed an incubation temperature at or <10°C, and five employed an incubation temperature >10°C. There is a serious need for some consensus on methodologies for aerobic and psychrotrophic counts on fresh meat and poultry products.

D-values and z-values were determined for lean (2.0% fat) and fatty (30.5% fat) ground beef inoculated with approximately 107 Escherichia coli 0157:H7 cells per g. Inoculated ground meat was sealed in glass thermal death time tubes which were completely immersed in a circulating water bath and held at prescribed temperatures for predetermined lengths of time. Survival was determined by enumeration on plate count agar (PCA) containing 1% sodium pyruvate and by the 2-h indole test of Lee and McClain (7). D-values for fatty ground beef exceeded those for lean ground beef at the temperatures tested. D-values for lean and fatty ground beef at 125°F were 78.2 and 115.5 min, respectively, as enumerated on PCA plus pyruvate. D-values at 135°F were 4.1 and 5.3 min for lean and fatty beef. At 145°F D-values were determined to be 0.3 and 0.5 min. D-values calculated from 2-h indole test data for lean and fatty ground beef at 125°F were 80.1 and 121.0 min, respectively. D-values at 135°F were 4.0 and 7.4 min for lean and fatty beef and at 145°F a D-value of 0.2 min was calculated for lean beef only, due to insufficient survival of E. coli 0157:H7 in fatty beef at this temperature. The z-values determined for lean beef and fatty beef using PCA were 8.3 and 8.4°F respectively. The z-value for lean beef using the 2-h indole data was 7.8°F. No z-value for fatty beef using 2-h indole data could be determined.

An automated most-probable-number (MPN) system for the enumeration of total bacterial flora and Escherichia coli was compared with plate count agar and tryptone-bile-glucuronide (TBX) and ColiID (in-house method) agar methodology. The MPN partitioning of sample aliquots was done automatically on a disposable card containing 48 wells of 3 different volumes, i.e., 16 replicates per volume. Bacterial growth was detected by the formation of fluorescent 4-methylumbilliferone. After incubation, the number of fluorescent wells was read with a separate device, and the MPN was calculated automatically. A total of 180 naturally contaminated samples were tested (pig and cattle carcass surfaces, n = 63; frozen minced meat, n = 62; and refrigerated minced meat, n = 55). Plate count agar results and MPN were highly correlated (r = 0.99), with log MPN =−0.25 + 1.05·log CFU (plate count agar) (n = 163; range, 2.2 to 7.5 log CFU/g or cm2). Only a few discrepancies were recorded. In two samples (1.1%), the differences were ≥1.0 log; in three samples (1.7%), the differences were ≥0.5 log. For E. coli, regression analysis was done for all three methods for 80 minced meat samples, which were above the limit of detection (1.0 log CFU/g): log MPN = 0.18 + 0.98·log CFU (TBX), r = 0.96, and log MPN =−0.02 + 0.99·log CFU (ColiID), r = 0.99 (range, 1.0 to 4.2 log CFU/g). Four discrepant results were recorded, with differences of >0.5 but <1.0 log unit. These results suggest that the automated MPN method described is a suitable and labor-saving alternative to colony count techniques for total bacterial flora and E. coli determination in minced meat or on carcass surfaces.

In this paper a method which allows the measure of microbial death rate during spray-drying by means of a streptomycin-resistant mutant that can be grown on a streptomycin-containing agar is described. Plate counts of Microbacterium lacticum, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus recovered from skim milk powders were done on plate count agar in the presence and absence of streptomycin and on various selective media. The powders were produced from evaporated milk previously inoculated with those organisms.Our results showed that the proposed method allows the recovery of 78% of M. lacticum, 61% of E. coli, and 100% of S. aureus that survived spray-drying. Recoveries of surviving E. coli on violet bile agar and brilliant green bile 2% were 34% and 29% respectively. Baird-Parker and mannitol salt agar media allow the recovery of all surviving S. aureus, thus showing that S. aureus cells did not lose their ability to grow in media containing 7.5% NaCl. Our results show that physiological injury of the cells during spray-drying differs from injury due to heating only. [Traduit par le journal]

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji potensi daun nangka (Artocarpus heterophyllus) sebagai obat kumur herbal dengan melihat jumlah pertumbuhan koloni bakteri rongga mulut sebelum dan sesudah berkumur dengan infusa daun nangka. Daun nangka berwarna hijau muda yang diperoleh dari Babadan, Banguntapan, Bantul dibuat simplisia. Penentuan potensi dilakukan dengan menentukan perbedaan jumlah pertumbuhan koloni bakteri rongga mulut sebelum dan sesudah berkumur dengan infusa daun nangka. Uji potensi infusa daun nangka sebagai obat kumur dilakukan dengan menghitung perbedaan jumlah koloni bakteri rongga yang diperoleh dengan melakukan swab pada pangkal lidah sebelum dan sesudah berkumur. Perhitungan koloni bakteri dilakukan menggunakan metode hitung cawan (total plate count) pada media plate count agar (PCA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata jumlah koloni bakteri sebelum dan sesudah berkumur dengan infusa daun nangka yaitu 1,78 x 107 CFU/mL dan 7,71 x 106 CFU/mL. Perlakuan pemberian obat kumur infusa daun nangka secara signifikan mampu menurunkan jumlah koloni bakteri rongga mulut. Infusa daun nangka berpotensi sebagai alternatif obat kumur herbal. THE POTENCY OF JACKFRUIT LEAF INFUSION AS A HERBAL MOUTHWASHThis study was conducted to examine the potential of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) leaves as a herbal mouthwash by identifying the growth of bacterial colonies in the oral cavity before and after gargling with jackfruit leaf infusion. The light green jackfruit leaves obtained from Babadan, Banguntapan, Bantul were made simplicia. The determination of potency was done by determining the difference in the number of bacterial colony growth in the oral cavity before and after gargling with jackfruit leaf infusion. The potential test of jackfruit leaf infusion as a mouthwash was carried out by calculating the difference in the number of cavity bacterial colonies obtained by swab at the base of the tongue before and after gargling. Bacterial colonies were counted using the total plate count method on plate count agar (PCA) media. The results showed that the average number of bacterial colonies before and after rinsing with jackfruit leaf infusion was 1.78 x 107 CFU/mL and 7.71 x 106 CFU/mL. The treatment of giving jackfruit leaf infusion mouthwash was significantly able to reduce the number of bacterial colonies in the oral cavity. Jackfruit leaf infusion has the potential as an alternative to herbal mouthwash.

The main objective of this research was to determine the easiest and most reliable media for enumerating coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli levels in apple cider. During the autumn of 1994 a total of 59 apple cider samples were collected directly from 12 cider producers and were assessed for bacterial levels and pH. Plate count agar was used to determine heterotrophic bacteria levels. Coliform levels were determined using three different media: violet red bile agar (VRBA), Petrifilm High Sensitivity Coliform Count Plates (PHSCCP), and Trypticase soy agar with a VRBA overlay (TSA/VRBA) for attempted recovery of coliforms injured by the low pH of the apple cider. Eosin methylene blue agar (EMBA) and Petrifilm E. coli Count Plates were used to screen cider samples for E. coli. Apple cider had an average pH of 3.34 ± 0.08. Heterotrophic bacterial levels ranged from 2.30 to 7.11 log CFU/ml. All cider samples contained coliform bacteria with levels varying greatly; on the different media, we found the following: on VRBA, <1.00 to 4.37 log CFU/ml; on TSA/VRBA, 1.20 to 4.40 log CFU/ml; and on PHSCCP, < 1.00 to 4.56 log CFU/ml. Coliform levels were most easily determined in apple cider by using PHSCCP. However TSA/VRBA proved to be more reliable; coliform detection was significantly (P < 0.05) increased. EMBA was ineffective for screening apple cider for E. coli, with the low pH of the cider producing many false-positive results. E. coli was only recovered by using Petrifilm E. coli Count Plates with one of the 59 samples positive for E. coli (non-O157:H7) at a level of 10 CFU/ml.

Efficacies of plating media for recovering heated Escherichia coli O157:H7 were determined and compared. To compare populations of recovered cells, suspensions of cells (three isolates, four replications/isolate) were heated at 50, 55, or 60°C, and then inoculated onto eight media: PCA-PA (plate count agar with 1% pyruvic acid [PA]), MSA (MacConkey sorbitol agar), MSA-Mg (MSA with 0.025% MgSO4), MSA-PA (MSA with 1% PA), MSA-MUG (MSA with 0.005% 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (MUG), PRSA-MUG (phenol red sorbitol agar [PSRA] with 0.005% MUG), PRSA-PA (PRSA with 1% PA), and TSA-PA (tryptic soy agar with 1% PA). Recovery was consistently higher (P < 0.05) with PRSA-MUG and PRSA-PA. At 50, 55, and 60°C, mean numbers (log10 CFU/ml) of recovered cells on PRSA-MUG were 4.42, 4.62, and 3.32, respectively, as compared to 2.78, 2.08, and 1.63, respectively, on MSA. PCA-PA and TSA-PA were less effective than PRSA media, but better than MSA media. Thus, PRSA with MUG or PA was an effective medium for recovering heated cells of E. coli O157:H7; whereas MSA failed to detect sublethally injured cells. Furthermore, addition of Mg, PA, or MUG to MSA further compromised this medium.
