Environmental Disinfection

Diseases caused by harmful microorganisms pose a serious threat to human health. Safe and environment-friendly disinfectants are, therefore, essential in preventing and controlling such pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of a novel hydrogen peroxide and silver (H 2 O 2 -Ag + ) complex (HSC) in combatting Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli O157:H7 NCTC 12900 and Salmonella typhimurium SL 1344. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against S. aureus were found to be 0.014 % H 2 O 2 -3.125 mg/L Ag + , while 0.028 % H 2 O 2 -6.25 mg/L Ag + for both E. coli and S. typhimurium . Results of the growth curve assay and time-kill trial suggest that the HSC could inhibit the growth of the tested bacteria, as 99.9 % of viable cells were killed following treatment at the 1 MIC for 3 h. Compared with Oxytech D10 disinfectant (0.25 % H 2 O 2 -5 mg/L Ag + ), the HSC exhibited better antibacterial efficacy at a lower concentration (0.045 % H 2 O 2 -10 mg/L Ag + ). The mechanism of antibacterial action of HSC was found including the disruption of the bacterial cell membrane, followed by entry into the bacteria cell to reduce intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration, and inhibit the activity of antioxidases, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The enhanced bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide combined with silver indicates a potential for its application in environmental disinfection, particularly in the food industry.

Resumo Kefir é o produto da fermentação do leite pelos grãos de kefir. Esses grãos contêm uma mistura simbiótica de bactérias e leveduras imersas em uma matriz composta de polissacarídeos e proteínas. Muitos benefícios à saúde humana têm sido atribuídos ao kefir, incluindo atividade antimicrobiana contra bactérias Gram positivas e Gram negativas. A atividade antimicrobiana de 60 microrganismos isolados de grãos de kefir, frente à Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica sorotipos Typhimurium e Enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus e Listeria monocytogenes, foi estudada através do teste do antagonismo. A ação antimicrobiana dos sobrenadantes das bactérias ácido-lácticas que apresentaram atividade no teste do antagonismo foi testada. O experimento foi repetido usando sobrenadantes com pH neutralizado. Salmonella Typhimurium e Enteritidis sobreviveram por 24 horas no kefir em fermentação. E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus e L. monocytogenes foram recuperados até 72 horas após o início da fermentação. Todos os isolados apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana contra pelo menos um dos patógenos usados no teste do antagonismo. Sobrenadantes de 25 isolados apresentaram atividade inibitória e três mantiveram essa atividade com pH neutralizado. As bactérias patogênicas estudadas sobreviveram por tempo superior àquele normalmente utilizado para a fermentação do kefir artesanal, o que caracteriza perigo em potencial para o consumidor quando a matéria-prima não apresentar segurança sanitária. Lactobacillus isolados de grãos de kefir apresentam atividade antimicrobiana contra cepas de E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella sorotipos Typhimurium e Enteritidis, S. aureus e L. monocytogenes além daquela exercida pela diminuição do pH.

Under anaerobic conditions an exponentially growing culture of Escherichia coli K-12 was exposed to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of various compounds. Hydrogen peroxide (0.1 mM) together with 0.1 mM L-cysteine or L-cystine killed the organisms more rapidly than 10 mM hydrogen peroxide alone. The exposure of E. coli to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of L-cysteine inhibited some of the catalase. This inhibition, however, could not fully explain the 100-fold increase in hydrogen peroxide sensitivity of the organism in the presence of L-cysteine. Of other compounds tested only some thiols potentiated the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide. These thiols were effective, however, only at concentrations significantly higher than 0.1 mM. The effect of L-cysteine and L-cystine could be annihilated by the metal ion chelating agent 2,2'-bipyridyl. DNA breakage in E. coli K-12 was demonstrated under conditions where the organisms were killed by hydrogen peroxide.

Ham and chopped ham from two manufacturers were contaminated with five enteropathogens: Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus, at time of slicing and vacuum-packaging, to simulate contamination by manufacturer. Subsequent treatment of the samples, representing sound and undesirable retail handling and consumer use conditions, indicated marked differences in the fate of the pathogens between these products and within product type between the two manufacturers. Greatest differences were observed between the chopped ham products. All pathogens, except C. perfringens, grew actively in fresh ham and chopped ham with abusive holding at 30 and 21 C. After storage at 4 or 10 C for 30 days, B. cereus and C. perfringens were no longer detected, even after subsequent holding at 30 or 21 C for 24 h. E. coli survival and growth was variable, S. typhimurium survived well and grew under some conditions and S. aureus was generally inhibited at high levels of competition.

In this study, the effects of food preservative p-hydroxybenzoic acid and propyl-paraben on the inhibitory activity of enterocin KP produced by Enterococcus faecalis KP were determined. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium, resistant to enterocin KP bacteriocin, were used as target organisms. The inhibitor activity of enterosin KP (1600 AU/ml) alone or in combination with p-hydroxybenzoic acid (%0.1-0.3) and propyl-paraben (%0.008-0.16) on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium were determined. The inhibitory activity of enterocin KP was increased when used in combination with p-hydroxybenzoic acid and propyl-paraben at concentrations of 0.1-0.3% and 0.008-0.016%, respectively. Furthermore, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium became sensitive to enterocin KP. In conclusion, the use of enterocin KP in combination with other food preservatives principles resulted in an increase in its inhibitory activity and spectrum.

Lactobacillus acidophilus exerted antagonistic actions on growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, and Clostridium perfringens when grown with each in associative cultures. S. aureus and C. perfringens were more sensitive to the inhibition than were S. typhimurium and E. coli. The amount of the antagonism produced varied among strains of L. acidophilus and could not be directly related to amounts of acid produced; hydrogen peroxide produced by the lactobacilli appeared to be partially responsible for the antagonistic interaction. The inhibitory effect was produced also under anaerobic conditions in a pre-reduced medium.

No Inhibition

Inhibition and inactivation of five species of foodborne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella typhimurium) by chitosan were studied. Nutrient broths were supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5% chitosan, adjusted to pH 6.5 or 5.5 with 2% acetic acid, and incubated at 30°C. The outgrowths of these bacteria were observed. At pH 6.5, in general, antibacterial activity of chitosan was relatively weak. The effectiveness of chitosan against S. aureus was greatest, followed by S. typhimurium, E. coli, and Y. enterocolitica. As the concentration of chitosan increased, the effectiveness of chitosan against these four species of pathogens also increased. No inhibition of L. monocytogenes by chitosan occurred. At pH 5.5, presence of chitosan inactivated these pathogens except that 0.5% chitosan did not affect the growth of S. typhimurium. Thus, the antibacterial activity of chitosan was stronger at pH 5.5 than at pH 6.5.

The antibacterial effect of Lippia sidoides (rosemary pepper) essential oil was tested against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli isolated from homemade Minas cheese produced in Brazil. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determined in the Dilution Test was 13 µL oil mL-1 for both bacteria, which characterizes inhibitory action in broth for a 24-hour interaction period. The Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) determined in the Suspension Test, with one minute of contact, was 25 µL oil mL-1 for both tested bacteria, obtaining at this concentration a bactericidal effect of 99.9% on the viable bacterial cells from each sample. Results demonstrated the bacterial activity of Lippia sidoides essential oil against S. aureus and E. coli, suggesting its use as an antibacterial agent in foods.

Se investigó el comportamiento de Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus y Salmonella Typhimurium, en salsa con y sin Xoconostle (Opuntia oligacantha F. C. Först). Los frutos se recolectaron directamente de un huerto de Xoconostle y se trasportaron al laboratorio a temperatura ambiente. En el laboratorio se prepararon 3 tipos de salsa con tres formulaciones teniendo como base principal: chile-Xoconostle (A), Chile-Xoconostle-Jitomate (B) y Chile-Jitomate (C). Por separado, las bacterias patógenas fueron inoculadas en las salsas y éstas se almacenaron a 3-5° y 30° C. El recuento de los microorganismos patógenos se realizó mediante la técnica de vertido en placa. Además, se evaluó el efecto antimicrobiano de las salsas de Xoconostle, del fruto de Xoconostle y del chile mediante la técnica de difusión en agar. Tanto E. coli O157:H7 como S. aureus se multiplicaron en la salsa. L. monocytogenes y S. Typhimurium no mostraron desarrollo. En todos los casos la salsa tipo A presento mayor efecto inhibitorio en el desarrollo de E. coli y S. aureus, o en la sobrevivencia de L. monocytogenes y S. Typhimurium. Mediante la técnica de difusión en placa se observó que tanto el Xoconostle como las salsas a base de Xoconostle mostraron efecto antimicrobiano. El chile no mostró efecto antimicrobiano.

Log Reduction

The effect of the disinfectant sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), with or without mild heat (50°C) and fumaric acid, on native bacteria and the foodborne pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 attached to iceberg lettuce leaves was examined. The retail lettuce examined consistently harbored 6 to 7 log CFU/g of native bacteria throughout the study period. Inner leaves supported 1 to 2 log CFU/g fewer bacteria than outer leaves. About 70% of the native bacterial flora was removed by washing five times with 0.85% NaCl. S. aureus, E. coli, and Salmonella allowed to attach to lettuce leaves for 5 min were more easily removed by washing than when allowed to attach for 1 h or 2 days, with more S. aureus being removed than E. coli or Salmonella Typhimurium. An increase of time for attachment of pathogens from 5 min to 2 days leads to decreased efficiency of the washing and sanitizing treatment. Treatment with fumaric acid (50 mM for 10 min at room temperature) was the most effective, although it caused browning of the lettuce, with up to a 2-log reduction observed. The combination of 200 ppm of sodium hypochlorite and mild heat treatment at 50°C for 1 min reduced the pathogen populations by 94 to 98% (1.2- to 1.7-log reduction) without increasing browning.

Respiratory Nitrate Reductase

Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 are important foodborne pathogens affecting the beef and dairy industries and strategies are sought to rid these organisms from cattle at slaughter. Both pathogens possess respiratory nitrate reductase that also reduces chlorate to the lethal chlorite ion. Because most anaerobes lack respiratory nitrate reductase, we hypothesized that chlorate may selectively kill E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 but not potentially beneficial anaerobes. In support of this hypothesis, we found that concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 were reduced from approximately 1,000,000 colony forming units (CFU) to below our level of detection (≤10 CFU) following in vitro incubation (24 h) in buffered ruminal contents (pH 6.8) containing 5 mM added chlorate. In contrast, chlorate had little effect on the most probable number (mean ± SD) of total culturable anaerobes (ranging from 9.9 ± 0.72 to 10.7 ± 0.01 log10 cells/ml). Thus, chlorate was bactericidal to E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 but not to potentially beneficial bacteria. The bactericidal effect of chlorate was concentration dependent (less at 1.25 mM) and markedly affected by pH (more bactericidal at pH 6.8 than pH 5.6).
