Prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli and dynamics of microbiota in pork processing environments
The seasonal prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and impact of control measures on carcass microbiomes associated with pork processing were investigated. Samples (n = 693) from the holding pen floor (HPF), gloves of workers (GLV), scalding water (SCW), tonsils (TSL), cecal material (CEC), hides after bleeding (HAB), and carcasses after scalding (CAS), before and after evisceration, before (B) and after (A) lactic acid (LA) spray, and after chilling (ACH) were analyzed for STEC, total plate count (TPC), Enterobacteriaceae (EB), coliforms, E. coli and microbial profiling.
The slaughter process reduced TPC, EB, coliforms and E. coli on carcasses by 6.99, 5.30, 5.06 and 4.99 log, with scalding and LA/chilling reducing TPC by 3.15 and 2.45 log, respectively. No ACH carcasses yielded EB or E. coli. In summer, HAB were more contaminated than in other seasons (P < 0.05). STEC were found in 73 samples, with 90 % from HAB, CEC and HPF and summer having the highest STEC detection rate. Overall, 12 samples were presumptive E. coli O157 positive based on PCR, but none yielded E. coli O157 isolates. Microbial composition varied among sources and seasons (P < 0.05). The genera accounting for ≥10 % of their respective total population were Escherichia (43.5 %), Streptococcus (12.8 %) and Klebsiella (11.3 %) for CEC/TSL; Streptococcus (22.6 %) and Escherichia (14.2 %) for HAB/HPF; Anoxybacillus (58.3 %) and Streptococcus (11.7 %) for SCW; Stenotrophomonas (30 %) for GLV; Acinetobacter (20.7 %), Rothia (12.0 %) and Macrococcus (10.4 %) for before LA carcasses; Stenotrophomonas (11.0 %) for after LA carcasses; and Bacillus (10.8 %) for ACH, respectively. LA/air chilling primarily shapes ACH carcass microbiota.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
