Beef, pork, chicken and milk are considered representative protein sources in the human diet. Since the digestion of protein is important, the role of intestinal microflora is also important. Despite this, the pure effects of meat and milk intake on the microbiome are yet to be fully elucidated. To evaluate the effect of beef, pork, chicken and milk on intestinal microflora, we observed changes in the microbiome in response to different types of dietary animal proteins in vitro. Feces were collected from five 6-week-old pigs. The suspensions were pooled and inoculated into four different media containing beef, pork, chicken, or skim milk powder in distilled water. Changes in microbial communities were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. The feces alone had the highest microbial alpha diversity. Among the treatment groups, beef showed the highest microbial diversity, followed by pork, chicken, and milk. The three dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes in all the groups. The most abundant genera in beef, pork, and chicken were Rummeliibacillus, Clostridium, and Phascolarctobacterium, whereas milk was enriched with Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus. Aerobic bacteria decreased while anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria increased in protein-rich nutrients. Functional gene groups were found to be over-represented in protein-rich nutrients. Our results provide baseline information for understanding the roles of dietary animal proteins in reshaping the gut microbiome. Furthermore, growth-promotion by specific species/genus may be used as a cultivation tool for uncultured gut microorganisms.

In this study, ready-to-cook (RTC) pork bulgogi was investigated microbiologically to determine contamination levels. The investigation was conducted because of an increasing trend in the consumption of RTC meat products in Korea. Ninety marinated RTC pork bulgogi samples were collected from major retail outlets (M), department stores (D), and local markets (L) in Seoul, Korea from March to June 2011. This study examined total plate counts (TPC), Escherichia coli, and coliform bacterial counts, and the presence of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and E. coli O157:H7. The mean TPC values were 5.89, 6.08, and 5.89 Log CFU/g for M, D, and L, respectively. E. coli was not detected in any sample, but coliforms were present in 72 (80%) of the 90 samples collected. B. cereus, E. coli O157:H7, and Salmonella spp. were not detected; however, S. aureus and L. monocytogenes were detected in five (5.5%) and one (1.1%) of the 90 samples. Samples collected from M and D were contaminated with S. aureus and those from L with L. monocytogenes. These results demonstrate that the conditions under which RTC pork bulgogis are handled and processed are unsanitary.

본 연구에서는 상용화 되고 있는 PCR 및 ELISA kit를 사용하여 국내에서 유통되고 있는 소, 돼지, 닭, 오리, 칠면조, 염소, 양, 말 등 8종의 식육, 혼합육, 그리고 식육가공품에 대하여 축종 감별능력을 평가하였다. 신선육에 대한 RAW meat ELISA kit$^{(R)}$의 검출한계는 축종별 함유율 0.20%~0.05% 이었고, 열처리 혼합육에서는 열처리 온도 및 시간, 그리고 축종별로 검출한계는 함유율 1.0%~0.05% 이하까지 다양한 차이를 나타내었다. 8종의 식육에 대한 축종별 감별력은 소 94.5%, 돼지 93.3%, 양 90.0%, 오리, 염소, 말, 칠면조 모두에서 100%를 나타내었다. Powercheck Animal Species ID PCR kit$^{TM}$의 경우에는 함유율 0.05%의 검출한계를 나타내었고 8종의 모든 축종에서 100%의 특이도를 나타내어 축종별 감별력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 햄, 소시지, 분쇄가공품, 식육추출가공품 등 총 60개 식육가공품에 대한 Cooked meat ELISA kit$^{(R)}$의 감별력은 햄(35.3%), 소시지(13.6%), 분쇄가공육(12.5%)의 순으로 나타났으며, 2종 이상의 혼합육에서는 상대적으로 낮은 감별력을 보여 제조과정에서 식육간 교차오염에 의한 혼입가능성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 쇠고기 육포 54개 제품에 대하여 다른 고기 혼입여부를 PCR Kit로 검사한 결과 13개 제품에서 돼지고기 유전자가 검출되었지만 ELISA Kit에서는 모두 음성으로 나타났다. PCR 양성 시료의 제조공정 중 교차오염 여부를 조사한 결과, 텀블러, 채반, 절단기, 건조기가 쇠고기 및 돼지고기 육포 생산라인에 동일하게 사용되어 교차오염에 의한 혼입으로 추정되었다. 종교적 이유 및 일부 특정 육류에 대한 알러지 반응 등 식품안전 확보차원에서 제품의 원재료의 올바른 표시와 식육간 교차오염이 발생되지 않도록 철저한 품질관리가 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To ensure the safety of domestic livestock products, the government made it obligatory to enforce the hazard analysis critical control point(HACCP) in all domestic slaughterhouses. Under the HACCP, most of the hazards generated in slaughterhouses are bio-hazards, especially pathogenic bacteria. In order to reduce to the pathogenic bacteria, critical control point (CCP) is established and controled in the process of slaughter. A study was carried out to measure the level of bacterial contamination of swine carcass in 6 slaughterhouses selected. As a result, the aerobic plate counts(cfu/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of all samples was $10^2$-10 in average, except slaughterhouse C. The level of the aerobic plate counts on the surface of lower loin in slaughterhouse C was $10^4$ and it was considered that slaughterhouse C should set the process of manual transport of carcass as the CCP. Escherichia coli level was the highest in middle line cut surface. Especially, E coli level of slaughterhouses C and D were about 6.5- and 3.0-fold higher than that of other 4 slaughterhouses. Thus, it was considered that the slaughterhouses C and D should set the process of the entrails treatment as the CCP. The air contamination was measured at two point in a slaughterhouse. The air contamination level was 4-13 times higher than that of the standard Japanese slaughterhouses.

식중독균의 항생제 내성은 주요 식품 안전 이슈로, 적절한 안전관리 옵션을 도출하기 위해서는 항생제 내성균의 노출평가가 필수적이다. 이에 식품섭취에 의한 항생제 내성균의 인체노출 정도를 평가하고자 확률노출모델을 이용하여 돈육식품 중 항생제 내성 S. aureus 및 생성 독소의 식이노출을 추정하였다. 시판 돈육 제품에서 S. aureus를 분리하고 주요 항생제에 대한 내성율을 분석한 결과 124개 시료에서 분리된 30주의 S. aureus는 penicillin과 ampicillin에 대해 각각 76.7%와 70.0%의 내성을 보였다. Oxacillin 내성은 6.7%였으며 vancomycin에 대해서는 내성을 나타내지 않았다. 가장 내성율이 높은 penicillin 내성 S. aureus를 대상으로 원료 중 오염도, 항생제 내성율, 작업지침 준수여부 등 변수를 이용한 집단급식 조리 돈육 불고기 섭취에 대한 확률노출평가 모델을 시뮬레이션한 결과, 조리 전 또는 서빙 전 단계에서 돈육 중 내성균의 추정 오염도는 평균 0.3 Log CFU/g이며, 보수적인 접근인 95% percentile값의 경우도 penicillin 내성 S. aureus의 알려진 독소 생성 수준보다 낮았다. 이 결과는 현재 주어진 조건에서 돈육조리식품 섭취에 의한 항생제 내성 S. aureus의 인체노출가능성이 낮으며 돈육조리식품 섭취에 의하여 penicillin 내성 S. aureus이 생성하는 독소에 노출될 가능성은 매우 낮음을 시사한다. 그러나 원료의 오염도, 조리 중 온도, 시간관리가 준수되지 않을 경우 식중독이 발생할 가능성은 증가할 수 있으므로 작업지침 등을 준수해야 할 것이다.

Forty Clostridium perfringens isolates were obtained from twelve animal products, following the examination of eighty six beef, pork, broiler chicken and salami meat products, and eleven milk powder products. There were 21 isolates from salami stored at $25^{\circ}C$, 3 isolates from pork, 4 isolates from beef, 9 isolates from broiler chicken, and 3 isolates from milk powder. Only the cpa gene encoding a toxin among the 5 toxin genes tested (cpa, cpb, etx, iap, and cpe) was detected in all forty isolates, suggesting contamination with C. perfringens type A. DNA fingerprinting analysis using PCR of the tRNA intergenic spacer (tDNA-PCR) and the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS-PCR), and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were attempted to differentiate the isolates. RAPD analysis was the most discriminating method among the three PCR analyses. Isolates from the same products tended to show similar RAPD patterns. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that some isolates from broiler chickens had the same antibiogram with multiple resistance to streptomycin, colistin, and ciprofloxacin. Antibiograms were similar between isolates from the same livestock products, but differed considerably between the products.

국내에서 시판중인 230점(돈육샘플80점, 계육샘플 80점, 우육샘플 70점)의 식육 샘플에 대하여 미생물 오염수준 측정시 표준방법으로 통용되는 AOAC (the Association of Official Analytical Chemists)의 standard total aerobic count method 및 coliform count method와 국내에서 개발된 HApS$^{TM}$ (Hazard Analysis process System) method를 비교하였다. 돈육, 계육, 우육을 샘플군으로 하여 총세균수 및 대장균수를 표준방법과 HApS$^{TM}$방법으로 각각 측정하여 그 두 방법간의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 선형회귀분석 및 t-검정법의 통계적 방법을 사용하여 각 샘플군에서의 두 방법간의 상관계수(r) 및 회귀직선식을 얻었고, 각 샘플군에서 두 방법에 의한 각각의 표본평균이 주어진 유의수준($\alpha$=0.05)에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 즉, 본 실험에 사용된 샘플에 대하여 표준방법과 HApS$^{TM}$ 방법간의 유의한 차이를 발견하지 못하였다. 그러므로 표준방법에 비하여 실험시간 및 실험방법에서 신속성 및 간편성을 지니는 HApS$^{TM}$방법은 축산식품의 총세균 및 대장균군 오염도 측정시에 표준방법을 대신할 수 있는 유용한 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

This study was performed to examine antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus spp. strains from retail raw meat and fish products purchased in 2012. 43 Enterococcus spp. strains were isolated from a total of 207 samples (beef, pork, chicken, fish) with contamination rate of 20.8%. The isolated strains were identified as E. faecalis (22 strains), E. gallinarum, E. hirae (5 strains), E. avium (4 strains), E. faecium (3 strains), E. duram, E. casseliflavus (2 strains). Susceptibility to 10 antibiotics was tested, and the highest resistance was observed to tetracycline. And antimicrobial resistance rates were presented below 20% with most of the other antimicrobial agents. The isolated Enterococci from chicken showed higher resistance also to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin, not only to tetracycline, compared to the isolated Enterococci from beef, pork and fish. Sixteen isolates (37.2%) were sensitive to all antibiotics. Four isolates (9.3%) were resistant to 3 or more antibiotics. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) was not identified. According to the results of genetic similarity pattern analysis via PFGE and rep-PCR, Enterococci strains showed different patterns from these collected in 2011. This indicates that there is no genetic similarity among all the strains.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the microbiological safety of food ingredients supplied to elementary school food services during processing. For this purpose, fifteen food ingredients and twelve factories were chosen in the provinces of Daegu and Gyeongbuk. Total plate counts and coliform counts were reduced in the ingredients after washing, but they increased after packing. After packing, the following levels of total plate counts and coliforms were detected, respectively: peeled bellflower roots ($1.2{\sim}3.6{\times}10^6$, $3.1{\sim}4.6{\times}10^5$ CFU/g), blanched vegetables ($5.6{\times}10^3{\sim}2.0{\times}10^5$, <5~$1.5{\times}10^4$ CFU/g), soybean curd (<5~$5.4{\times}10^3$, <5~$2.2{\times}10^3$ CFU/g), buckwheat starch jelly (<5, <5 CFU/g), soybean sprouts ($1.2{\times}10^6{\sim}1.8{\times}10^7$, $2.4{\times}10^5{\sim}4.3{\times}10^6$ CFU/g), mackerel ($2.2{\times}10^2$, $1.3{\times}10^2$ CFU/g), chicken ($3.8{\times}10^4$, $6.7{\times}10^2$ CFU/g), pork ($6.7{\times}10^2$, <5 CFU/g), and beef ($9.4{\times}10^2{\sim}5.2{\times}10^4$, <5~$2.1{\times}10^3$ CFU/g). Generally, the microbiological safety of the food ingredients was better during the processing stage than during the other stages, with the exception of packing. Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Bacillus cereus were detected in small amounts on the peeled bellflower roots, chicken, and pork, respectively. These results indicate that peeled bellflower roots, chicken, and pork need to be sanitized at the washing stage and cross contamination must be prevented at the packing stage.

This study examined the microbiological quality of daycare center meals. Six menu items from five daycare centers in Daegu included uncooked processed foods (seasoned cucumber and lettuce salad), post-preparation after cooking processed foods (rolled omelet and seasoned soybean sprout), and cooking processed foods (panbroiled beef with oyster sauce and seasoned pork roast). Microbiological analyses were performed for the aerobic plate counts (APC), coliforms, and Escherichia coli. The analyses were conducted in July and November 2017. The mean APC and coliform count of seasoned cucumber decreased significantly from 4.71 log colony forming units (CFU)/g and 2.50 log CFU/g in July to 4.07 log CFU/g and 1.78 log CFU/g in November, respectively (P<0.01 and P<0.001). The APC of panbroiled beef with oyster sauce and seasoned pork roast were significantly lower in July (1.84 and 1.79 log CFU/g) than in November (2.41 and 2.28 log CFU/g) (P<0.001). The coliform counts of panbroiled beef with oyster sauce and seasoned pork roast were significantly greater in November (2.11 and 1.62 log CFU/g) (P<0.001). E. coli was not detected. Among the foods prepared using the three preparation processes, the post-preparation after cooking processed foods had the lowest microbial quality. The APC and coliform counts of cooking processed foods were satisfactory in July, with an acceptable rating for pan-broiled beef with oyster sauce in November. Time-temperature control and the prevention of cross-contamination are essential during meal production for food safety, regardless of the season.
