Contamination, persistence and dissemination of Cronobacter during the production of powdered infant formula in China in 2016
A total of 620 samples collected from two factories in China producing powdered infant formula (PIF) between July and November 2016 were analyzed for Cronobacter. Antimicrobial susceptibility, pulsed-field gel electropho-resis (PFGE), and biofilm formation of Cronobacter were carried out. The results showed that 2.26% samples were positive for Cronobacter among the 33 isolates that were identified. All Cronobacter isolates were susceptible to 12 antimicrobial agents tested except one isolate which showed intermediate resistance to Chloramphenicol. PFGE analysis showed that nine clusters comprising the 33 isolates were identified, among which C8, C4, and C5 were the predominant types. All 33 isolates were capable of forming biofilm, and particularly, C. malonaticus isolates showed a good biofilm-forming ability at both 28°C and 37°C. The results illustrated that it is necessary for PIF manufactures to develop control measures for reducing Cronobacter contamination and its associated foodborne illness among infants.
期刊介绍:
''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research and review papers associated with the quality and safety of food and food sources including cereals, grains, oilseeds, fruits, root crops and animal sources. It targets both primary materials and their conversion to human foods. There is a strong focus on the development and application of new analytical tools and their potential for quality assessment, assurance, control and safety. The scope includes issues of risk assessment, traceability, authenticity, food security and socio-economic impacts. Manuscripts presenting novel data and information that are likely to significantly contribute to scientific knowledge in areas of food quality and safety will be considered.
''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' provides a forum for all those working in the specialist field of food quality and safety to report on the progress and outcomes of their research.
