  • Fifty three fungi isolated from soils of different microhabitats of eastern Himalayan range (3,400-3,600 msl) were screened for mycosynthesis of silver nanaoparticles (AgNPs) and their efficacy as antimicrobials were assessed in combination with commonly used antibiotics. Three isolates $Aspergillus$ $terreus$ SP5, $Paecilomyces$ $lilacinus$ SF1 and $Fusarium$ sp. MP5 identified based on morphological and 18S rRNA gene sequences were found to synthesize AgNPs. These nanoparticles were characterized by visual observation followed by UV-visible spectrophotometric analysis. The AgNPs synthesized by $Aspergillus$ $terreus$ SP5, $Paecilomyces$ $lilacinus$ SF1 and $Fusarium$ sp. MP5 showed absorbance maxima at 412, 419, and 421 nm respectively in the visible region. Transmission electron microscopy micrograph showed formation of spherical AgNPs of 5-50 nm size. The antimicrobial activity of the mycosynthesized nanoparticles were investigated alone and in combination with commonly used antibiotics for analysis of growth inhibition zone against test organisms, namely, $Staphylococcus$ $aureus$ MTCC96, $Streptococcus$ $pyogenes$ MTCC1925, $Salmonella$ $enterica$ MTCC735 and $Enterococcus$ $faecalis$ MTCC2729. The mycosynthesized nanoparticles showed potent antibacterial activity and interestingly their syngergistic effect with erythromycin, methicillin, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin was significantly higher as compared to inhibitions by AgNPs alone. The present study indicates that silver nanoparticles synthesized using soil borne indigenous fungus of high altitudes show considerable antimicrobial activity, deserving further investigation for potential applications.

  • This study aimed to determine the current prevalence, serovar distribution and antimicrobial resistance rate and patterns of nontyphoid Salmonella (NTS) in slaughter sheep and their edible offal. While filling the gap of up to date related information in Turkey, data presented is also of significance since contamination of ovine meat, its products and offal with this pathogen is threat to public health due to their considerably high consumption rates in our country. Current NTS carriage in 200 apparently healthy slaughter sheep by ISO 6579:2002, 6579:2002/A1:2007 standard bacteriology (ISO) was 5% (10/200) (4 fecal content - 2%, 3 mesenterial lymph node - 1.5%, 3 kidney - 1.5%) out of 1,400 samples (0.7%), with no isolation from carcass, liver, gallbladder, spleen. Real-time PCR was in substantial agreement to ISO in confirming Salmonella-suspect isolates (Relative Trueness: 93.6%). S. Newport (40%) was the predominant serovar, followed by the second prevalent serovars as S. Typhimurium and S. Kentucky (20%), and by S. Umbilo and S. Corvallis (10%). Four and 6 out of 10 NTS isolates were susceptible (40%) and resistant (60%) to 18 antimicrobials, respectively. S. Typhimurium isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR) to tigecycline and sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim, with one also resistant to cefepime. S. Corvallis was MDR to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and pefloxacin. The predominance of S. Newport and first isolation of S. Corvallis in sheep in the world; first time isolations of Newport, Kentucky, Corvallis, Umbilo serovars from sheep in Turkey; and high antimicrobial resistance rates obtained in majority of the isolates highlights study findings.

  • Grape seeds and pericarp are rich in procyanidins, a class of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials that can provide phytonutrients for healthy eating and extend food shelf life. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of procyanidins as preservatives in pork meat patties for 14 d. Pork patties were treated with 0, 0.1, or 0.3% procyanidin, and meat color, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values, and microbial populations were determined during storage at 4℃ for 14 d. The color of pork patties treated with procyanidin showed lower lightness and higher redness values than untreated controls, and procyanidin treatment reduced pH values significantly (p<0.05). VBN values decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the 0.3% procyanidin treatment and increased significantly (p<0.05) during storage. TBARS values were markedly lower in procyanidin-treated meat than in the untreated control. In addition, procyanidin suppressed total bacterial colony and Escherichia coli counts significantly (p<0.05) relative to the control samples. Our findings suggest that procyanidin could be used as a food preservative in pork patties due to its natural antioxidation and antimicrobial activities, and that it may contribute to an improved healthy diet.

  • Edible films containing antimicrobial agents can be used as safe alternatives to preserve food products. Essential oils are well-recognized antimicrobials. However, their low water solubility, volatility and high sensitivity to oxygen and light limit their application in food preservation. These limitations could be overcome by embedding these essential oils in complexed product matrices exploiting the encapsulation efficiency of β-cyclodextrin. This study focused on the maximization of β-cyclodextrin production using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and the evaluation of its encapsulation efficacy to fabricate edible antimicrobial films. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize CGTase production by Brevibacillus brevis AMI-2 isolated from mangrove sediments. This enzyme was partially purified using a starch adsorption method and entrapped in calcium alginate. Cyclodextrin produced by the immobilized enzyme was then confirmed using high performance thin layer chromatography, and its encapsulation efficiency was investigated. The clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes were prepared using the coprecipitation method, and incorporated into chitosan films, and subjected to antimicrobial testing. Results revealed that β-cyclodextrin was produced as a major product of the enzymatic reaction. In addition, the incorporation of clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes significantly increased the antimicrobial activity of chitosan films against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. In conclusion, B. brevis AMI-2 is a promising source for CGTase to synthesize β-cyclodextrin with considerable encapsulation efficiency. Further, the obtained results suggest that chitosan films containing clove oils encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin could serve as edible antimicrobial food-packaging materials to combat microbial contamination.

  • To evaluate the availability of Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau as a natural source of antimicrobials, the antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts of harvested parts was investigated using the paper disc diffusion method. The extracts from leaves and root bark had broad antimicrobial activity against various bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis, Vibrio vulnificus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and inhibited Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes, agents of food poisoning especially well. The extract from ripe fruit had a very high antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a 20.2 mm of clear zone at 50 mg/mL sample concentration. These results indicated that Cudrania tricuspidata could be used as new source for developing natural antimicrobial agents.

  • 본 연구에서는 지금까지 거의 보고된 바 없는 corosolic acid의 항균활성에 대해 대표적 식중독균 중 하나인 S. aureus를 대상으로 연구하였다. 대수기의 S. aureus에 corosolic acid를 처리하여 생장 저해 여부를 확인하였고, broth micro-dilution 방법과 agar disc diffusion 방법을 통해 corosolic acid의 S. aureus에 대한 항균활성을 측정해본 결과, corosolic acid의 농도에 비례하여 S. aureus 생장이 저해되는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 corosolic acid의 존재 조건에서 S. aureus의 바이오필름 형성능이 MIC 보다 높은 농도뿐 아니라 낮은 농도에서 역시 저해되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 천연물질인 corosolic acid는 S. aureus에 의한 식품 오염을 억제하고 식중독 예방 및 잠재적 치료제로서 개발 될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 나아가 다른 종류의 식중독균들에 대한 적용 가능 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • CGD 환자에서는 면역 체계의 결함으로 인한 반복적인 감염과 육아종 형성이 특징적이다. CGD 환자에서 육아종의 형성에 의한 식도 폐쇄는 매우 드문 합병증 중 하나로 CGD 환자의 육아종 형성에 의한 식도 폐쇄의 치료에 대해서는 불현성 감염이 동반될 가능성이 있어 스테로이드 치료와 항생제 치료에 대한 논란이 있어왔다. 저자들은 항생제 치료에 반응하지 않는 육아종 형성에 의한 식도 폐쇄 증상을 보인 8세 만성육아종질환 환자를 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 스테로이드 치료 이후에 임상적 증상과 영상 검사 상의 급격한 호전을 보였으나 스테로이드 치료를 중단한 지 한 달 뒤 환자의 식도 폐쇄 증상은 재발하였고, 이는 스테로이드를 재 투약 후 호전되었다. 스테로이드 중단 이후 한 차례 다시 재발하였으나, 항생제 치료 후 호전되었고 이후 추가적 재발 없이 경과 관찰 중이다.
