초록

Cronobacter spp.(Enterbacter sakazakii)의 건조저항성은 다른 장내 세균들보다 강한 특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 국내 식품으로부터 분리한 110개의 Cronobacter균주로부터 건조내성 특성을 분석하고 여러 상대습도에서의 생존특성을 연구하고자 하였다. 국내 식품에서 분리한 Cronobacter 110균주중 8시간 금속표면 건조노출에 대하여 초기균수의 약 절반정도 생존하는 고내성그룹이 30%, 대부분이 사멸하는 저내성그룹이 약 10%를 차지하여 전체 균주 중 중간정도 이상의 내성을 가지는 균주가 90% 이상을 차지하고 있었다. 15일간 장기 건조노출에 경우도 비슷한 경향을 보여 주었다. 조제분유에서 Cronobacter 건조 노출의 경우 고내성그룹과 중간내성그룹은 30일 이후에도 5 log CFU/mL에서 3 log CFU/mL 이상의 생균수를 나타내었다. 오히려 금속 표면건조 때보다 더 생존율이 높아 조제분유에서는 더 내성이 증가함을 할 수가 있었다. 따라서 국내 식품에서 분리한 대부분의 Cronobacter도 건조에 강한 내성을 가지고 있는 것으로 보인다. 건조환경에서의 biofilm 형성능력은 고내성과 중간 내성그룹 균주는 노출초기에서부터 biofilm 생성이 이루어졌다. 그러나 저내성그룹 균주의 경우에는 biofilm의 형성이 증가하지 않다가 7일 후 biofilm 생성이 많아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 Cronobacter의 biofilm 형성능은 각 그룹간 biofilm 생성의 시간적인 차이만 존재하고 대부분의 Cronobacter는 건조스트레스에서 biofilm 형성능이 비슷한 것으로 보인다. Cronobacter는 건조금속표면의 75%의 상대습도에서 24-48시간 내에 모두 사멸하는 것으로 나타났으나 40% 상대습도에서는 초기균수의 60% 생균수를 유지하여 낮은 상대습도에 강한 저항특성을 보여주었다. 대부분의 Cronobacter는 건조에 강한 내성을 가지고 있어 조제분유등의 건조식품에서 오랫동안 살아 있을 수 있으나 습도가 높은 환경에서는 사멸이 많이 일어나는 것으로 사료된다. 그러므로 식품생산현장에서 습도를 조절하여 Cronobacter를 제어할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) is known to be highly resistant to dry conditions than any other Enterobacteriaeae. In this study, one hundred and ten Korean Cronobacter isolates were characterized to find out their survival characteristics under conditions of desiccation and humidity. Thirty percentage strains of the isolates showed high resistance to desiccation exposed on the metal surface for eight hours by half survival of the initial number, whileas less than 10% strains showed dry sensitivity by less one log scale survival among seven log scales. Finally, more than 90% of the strains consisted of dry-resistant and dry-intermediate groups. The same tendencies were evident in a 15-day exposure. Dry-resistant and intermediate strain groups showed 3 log scale survival among 5 log initial numbers in the powdered infant formula for 30 days, which were more resistant than on the above metal surface exposed. So, almost the isolate strains showed high resistance to dry condition. Dry-resistant and intermediate groups exposed on the metal surface formed a biofilm at the beginning, and the dry-sensitive group showed biofilm formation mainly only after a 7-day exposure. However, without a time difference in formation of biofilm, the dry-resistant and sensitive isolates seemed to similar biofilm formation activity. Most of the isolates showed very low survival at 75% relative humidity in 48 hours; however, they showed high resistance by 60% survival at 40% relative humidity. The Cronobacter isolates showed high resistance to desiccation on the metal surface and in the powdered infant formula, but low survival at high relative humidity. Therefore, high humidity may be a control method for Cronobacter in food processing environments.
