Thus we received 4.683 samples within a 6-months-period. In the laboratory those samples were mixed following Table 2 and examined concerning the occurrence of enteropathogenic bacteria. Additionally we carried out an investigation of kitchensurfaces and -utensils by means of \"Rodac\"-plates. The evaluation of the food-samples showed no growth of salmonella, shigella, yersinia or campylobacter; however, in 267 samples were found staphylococci, in 191 enterococci, in 388 enterobacteria, in 28 aerobic sporeformers and in 144 fungi. Mainly sausage- and meatproducts appeared to be contaminated by staphylococci, also enterococci and enterobacteria (Fig. 1); other groceries were colonized by these microorganisms only to a minor degree. Fungi and aerobic sporeformers were isolated primarily in salads, bakery- and milkproducts (Fig. 2). Though some of the foodstuffs contained up to 10(5) pathogenes/g (Fig. 5), no cases of gastroenteritis were observed within our families. In case of mishandling (e.g. storage of food in refrigerators with temperatures above 4 degrees C) the development of foodborne enteritis has to be taken into account. The kitchens' examination showed a relatively high degree of contamination with pathogenic resp. potentially pathogenic organisms, represented in Fig. 7 by data obtained from different objects of investigation (surfaces, sinks and cloths).</p>","PeriodicalId":77820,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1.

{"title":"Some microbiological aspects of inedible rendering processes.","authors":"P I Hansen,&nbsp;K Olgaard","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Various aspects of the bacteriology of inedible rendering have been investigated in order to establish a solid basis for future decisions concerning an up-to-date and flexible legislation on rendering. Thermal death (TD)-graphs for spores of B. cereus and Cl. perfrigens, PA 3679 (Fig. 3), and heat transmission equations for animal tissues have been determined. By using the heat transmission data for bones and the TD graphs for the spores it is possible to predict the decimal reductions of spores in the centre of the largest pieces present during a given rendering process, thus establishing conditions for bacteriological safe processes. The calculations show that predrying for 45 min followed by cooking at 125 degrees C for 15 min and final drying ensures destruction of non-sporeforming bacteria and Bacillus anthracis spores even in the centre of 70 mm bone particles while heat resistant spores of clostridia are virtually unaffected. By reducing the particle size to less than 40 mm, the same process will result in a reasonable reduction of heat resistant clostridia spores, too (Table 4). In order to verify such theoretically calculated effects a new technique has been developed in which steel tubes containing a paste inoculated with spores were inserted in bones. These were treated in a cooker, were caught during discharge and examined. The results confirmed the calculations (Table 5). Most modern rendering systems (Carver-Greenfield, Stork-Duke, Wet Pressing) are continuous without pressure cooking and a common feature is a fine mincing minimizing the problem of heat penetration. In order to obtain information regarding the thermal sterilizing effect in such systems investigations were made in a pilot cooker using inoculated meat-and-bone meal mixed with water and/or fat. Regardless of whether fat was added or not sterility was found for samples containing water when the temperature during drying reached 110-120 degrees C, whereas cooking in fat only drastically increased the heat resistance of spores of both strains. Sterility was only obtained at temperatures of the order of 140 degrees C, a fact of minor importance for rendering, where thermal treatment usually takes place with moisture present. The decimal reductions actually found were compared to calculated ones and the former were all substantially higher than the latter (Table 6). Thorough investigation of sterilization in the wet pressing system has confirmed the conclusion that inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms during drying is obtained when temperatures reach 110 degrees C (Table 7 and 8).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":77820,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1.

Yersinia enterocolitica was isolated from 82 of 1650 samples of central water supplies and from 42 of 779 samples of decentralized water supplies. Only three of these strains were serotype O3 but indole-positive and different by that from the indole-negative human pathogenic serotype O3 which is most frequent in Western Europe. No strain was serotype O9.

This points thereupon that Y.e. do not originally belong to the saprophytic soil bacteria but reaches the drinking water subsequently by fecal pollution.

In a further step it was examined how far these trends could be explained by the hypothesis \"diet and cancer\" (western diet). Under the postulation that the manifestation of western diet has reduced the risk of stomach cancer drastically, the risk of colorectal cancer has not increased to the same extent. Moreover, rectal cancer has shown only a slight increase and might even decrease in years to come. Having in mind the increasing risk, diet has no major impact so far. The differences in trends according to age groups and birth cohorts indicate the influence of other factors than diet. Furthermore, it is necessary to deal with colon and rectal cancer separately because of the differences in their trends.</p>","PeriodicalId":77820,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1.
