Abstract

Five different enrichment methods were studied to find an optimal method to recover Yersinia enterocolitica from swine feed samples. When the recovery of Y. enterocolitica GER-C (serotype O:3) strain was studied at 1000 CFU/g feed, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) enrichment at $4^{\circ}C$ and PBS plus sorbitol and bile salts (PSB) enrichment at $4^{\circ}C$ and $21^{\circ}C$ were not effective (< 22%). In contrast, both irgasan-ticarcillin-potassium chlorate (ITC) and tryptic soy broth plus polymyxin B sulfate and novobiocin (TSBPN) enrichment methods showed a full recovery (100%) at 100-1000 CFU/g feed. At 10 CFU/g feed, both ITC and TSBPN methods still recovered the strain (> 50%). In recovery of ATCC 9610 (serotype O:8) strain, TSBPN method was more sensitive than any other methods (P < 0.05) at 1000 CFU/g feed. Using TSBPN method, the strain was still recovered at 100 CFU/g feed, but not at 10 CFU/g feed. With its sensitivity and relatively simple recipe, TSBPN was most desirable method to recover Y. enterocolitica from swine feed samples.

돼지사료에 있는 여시니아균의 효율적인 검출을 위해서 다섯 종류의 증식 방법들이 비교 연구되었다. Yersinia enterocolitica GER-C(혈청형 O:3) 가 1000CFU/g 사료 수준으로 들어 있을 때에 $4^{\circ}C$에서의 인산완충용액과 $4^{\circ}C$ 혹은 $21^{\circ}C$에서의 솔비톨과 담즙산염을 함유한 인산완충용액은 효과적이지 못했다. 하지만, irgasan-ticarcillin-potassium chlorate (ITC) 방법과 polymyxin과 novobiocin을 함유한 tryptic soy broth(TSBPN) 방법은 100-1000 CFU/g 사료 수준에서 탁월한 증식효과틀 보였다. ITC와 TSBPN 방법은 10 CFU/g 사료 수준에서도 종식 및 검출 효과가 있었다. Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610 (혈청형 O:8)을 연구한 결과, 1000 CFU/g 사료 수준에서 TSBPN 증식방볍이 가장 효과적이었으며, 100 CFU/g 사료 수준에서도 증식 및 검출 되었지만, 10 CFU/g 사료 수준에서는 검출되지 않았다. 검출의 민감도와 상대적으로 간단한 조성방법 면에서 볼 때, TSBPN이 돼지사료에서 Y. enterocolitica를 증식, 검출하는데 있어서 가장 효과적인 방법이었다.
