Abstract

Tolerance against heat, sanitizers, and antibiotics of 112 Cronobacter isolates classified by desiccation was determined to permit effective biocontrol in powdered foods. The isolates were classified into three groups: dry-tolerant (n=37), dry-sensitive (n=7), and dry-intermediate (n=68). The strains that were highly tolerant to drying also showed high heat tolerance that they seemed to have high tolerance to heat after dry stress in powdered foods like infant formula. Sodium hypochlorite and benzalkonium chloride concentrations necessary to achieve a 5-log reduction in viable counts (CFU/mL) were 15-25 ppm and 5-15 ppm, respectively. However, there was little difference of the efficacy of these sanitizers between dry-sensitive and -tolerant strains for planktonic cells suspended in 3% albumin. The minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of $\beta$-lactam ampicillin was 64-128 ppm for 90% of the strains. The isolates were consistently sensitive to kanamycin and naldixic acid (MIC=4 ppm). Dry-tolerant strains displayed more antibiotic resistance than dry-sensitive strains. The results indicate that dry-tolerant Cronobacter isolates often possess heat and antibiotic resistance, indicated the need for potent sterilization treatments of powdered foods.

국내의 건조분말 식품에서 분리한 Cronobacter spp.의 건조내성에 따른 열, 살균소독제, 항생제에 대한 내성특성 분석하여 Cronobacter spp.을 제어하는 효과적인 방법을 연구하고자 하였다. 분리된 37개의 건조저항 균주, 7개의 건조민감 균주, 그리고 68개의 중간그룹의 균주 총 112개에 대하여 분석한 결과 건조내성을 가지고 있는 Cronobacter spp.는 열에 대해서도 저항성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 조제분유등의 건조 스트레스에 노출되어 살아남은 Cronobacter spp.는 열 스트레스에서도 높은 내성을 보일수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 살균소독제를 이용한 Cronobacter spp.의 제어효능은 sodium hypochlorite는 15-25 ppm와 benzalkonium chloride는 5-15 ppm 농도에서 5 log CFU/mL 살균 효과가 있었다. Albumin으로 3%(w/v)오염시킨 부유세균의 살균력은 건조내성 균주와 건조민감 균주 모두에서 오염전과 비슷하여 유기물 오염상태에서도 살균소독제 효능에는 큰 영향을 주고 있지 않음을 알 수가 있었다. 그리고 항생제 내성은 $\beta$-lactam 계열의 ampicillin에 대하여 약 90% 분리주가 64-128 ppm의 농도에서 최소저해 농도를 보여 주었다. Aminoglycoside 계열의 kanamycin과 Gram(-) spectrum의 nalidixic acid에서 4 ppm의 가장 낮은 내성을 보였다. 건조민감 균주과 건조내성 균주의 최소저해농도 경우 전반적으로 모든 항생제에 대해서 건조 내성이 높은 균주가 더 큰 항생제 내성을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 분리 Cronobacter spp.의 건조내성이 열과 항생제의 저항성과 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 그러므로 조제분유와 같은 분말식품과 그 원료의 오염 Cronobacter spp.의 살균제어에 더 강력한 처리가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
