Abstract

Enterobacter sakazakii is implicated in severe forms of neonatal infections such as meningitis and sepsis. This organism has been isolated from a wide range of foods, including cheese, vegetables, grains, herbs, and spices, but its primary environment is still unknown. Generally, dried infant milk formula has been epidemiologically identified as the source of E. sakazakii. Sunsik (a powdered mixture of roasted grains and other foodstuffs) is widely consumed in Korea as a side dish or energy supplement. Sunsik is consumed without heat treatment; thus, lacking an additional opportunity to inactivate foodborne pathogens. Therefore, its microbiological safety should be guaranteed. In this study, the prevalence of E. sakazakii was monitored in 23 different sunsik component flours, using FDA recommended methods; but E. sakazakii medium (Neogen) and Chromogenic E. sakazakii medium (Oxoid) were used as the selective media. In total, presumptive E. sakazakii strains were isolated from 8 different sunsik powders. Subsequently, an API 20E test was conducted, and 15 strains from 5 different sunsik flours (sea tangle, brown rice, non-glutinous rice, cheonggukjang, dried anchovy) were confirmed as E. sakazakii. Fifteen strains were again confirmed by PCR amplification, using three different primer sets (tDNA sequence, ITS sequence, 16S rRNA sequence), and compared to ATCC strains (12868, 29004, 29544, 51329). They were once again confirmed by their enzyme production profiles using an API ZYM kit. Finally, RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA)-genotyping was carried out as a monitoring tool to determine the contamination route of E. sakazakii during processing.

시판되고 있는 선식 원료를 수거하여 최근 새로운 식중독균으로 보고되고 있는 Enterobacter sakazakii 분리 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 총 23종의 선식 원료 중 8개의 선식 원료에서 E.sakazakii로 추정되는 콜로니를 분리할 수 있었으며 API 20E kit를 이용하여 1차적으로 동정한 결과, 다시마 분말, 멸치 분말, 현미 분말, 청국장 분말 및 멥쌀 분말에서 E. sakazakii를 분리할 수 있었다. 이후 3 종의 primer를 이용한 PCR을 실시하여 2차적으로 동정하였다. 또한, 분리된 균주에 대한 RAPD-PCR을 실시하여 최종적으로 8종의 분리균으로 molecular typing을 할 수 있었다.
