Five strains of Bacillus stearothermophilus have been studied to identify a spore strain to be used as a biological indicator organism for low temperature steam and formaldehyde sterilization. Three strains gave poor reproducibility of batch size and growth index and were discarded. The other two strains gave good reproducibility with a high growth index and gave rise to linear survivor curves when exposed to 5% aqueous formaldehyde. However, only NCIMB 8224 sporulates on a simpler medium and as it was the most resistant to formaldehyde, it was further studied. Tests were carried out in a modified miniclave and factors studied included temperature of the steam and formaldehyde concentration. All studies confirmed the suitability of this strain as a biological indicator organism.

对5株嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌进行了研究,以确定一株芽孢菌株作为低温蒸汽和甲醛灭菌的生物指示菌。3株菌种的批量和生长指数重现性较差,被丢弃。另外两株菌株在5%甲醛水溶液条件下繁殖性好,生长指数高,存活曲线呈线性。然而,只有NCIMB 8224在更简单的培养基上产生孢子,并且由于其对甲醛的抗性最强,因此对其进行了进一步的研究。试验是在一个改进的微型容器中进行的,研究的因素包括蒸汽温度和甲醛浓度。所有的研究都证实了该菌株作为生物指示生物的适宜性。

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to characterize Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from a cluster of hospital-acquired infections that occurred over approximately 1 month in a French hospital. Five isolates from patients and 10 isolates from the water supply were characterized by biotyping and antibiotic susceptibility patterns and compared with 10 epidemiologically unrelated strains isolated from patients and rivers, by PFGE of digests of chromosomal DNA. Five environmental and four clinical isolates belonged to the same biotype and antibiotic susceptibility pattern type. The endonucleases XbaI, SpeI and SwaI gave satisfactory profiles whereas DraI did not. The profiles were stable, reproducible and discriminatory. The 10 epidemiologically unrelated strains exhibited 10 different patterns after digestion with XbaI, the least expensive, suitable endonuclease. PFGE is a rapid and discriminatory technique for the typing of Aeromonas hydrophila where a common origin of infection is suspected.

In this work, the death of Clostridium botulinum 213B was measured at temperatures between 101 degrees C and 121 degrees C. It was found that at all temperatures tested, survivor curves deviated from log-linearity which prevented their description using traditional first order kinetics. The survivor curves were better described using a vitalistic approach and the log-logistic transformation proposed by Cole et al. (1993). A single equation was derived to describe all survivor curves over the temperature range tested and a comparison of predicted and measured data showed good correlation. The implications of the use of the vitalistic approach to the validity of the 'minimum botulinum cook' is discussed.

在这项工作中,肉毒杆菌213B的死亡在101℃和121℃之间的温度下进行了测量。结果发现,在所有测试的温度下,存活曲线偏离对数线性,这使得它们无法用传统的一阶动力学来描述。幸存者曲线可以用活力论方法和Cole等人(1993)提出的逻辑-逻辑转换来更好地描述。推导出一个方程来描述在测试温度范围内的所有存活曲线,预测数据和测量数据的比较显示出良好的相关性。讨论了使用活力法对“最小肉毒杆菌烹饪”有效性的影响。

Escherichia coli grown in high or low phosphate medium was inoculated into a lake water starvation medium. The viable count decreased at 37 degrees C but not at the lower temperatures over 70 d. Alkaline phosphatase was monitored using a colorimetric assay with pNPP as the substrate. Derepression of the enzyme occurred in cultures starved for > 30 d in the lake water and within 5 d in lake water microcosms supplemented with carbon and nitrogen sources where there was rarely an increase in viable count. Chloramphenicol prevented the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase suggesting that, even under starvation conditions, de novo synthesis of the enzyme occurs.

将在高磷酸盐或低磷酸盐培养基中生长的大肠杆菌接种到湖水饥饿培养基中。活菌数在37℃时下降,但在较低温度下超过70 d时没有下降。用pNPP为底物的比色法监测碱性磷酸酶。在湖水中饥饿30 d以上的培养物和在补充碳氮源的湖水微生物中5 d以内的培养物中,活菌数几乎没有增加。氯霉素阻止了碱性磷酸酶的合成,这表明即使在饥饿条件下,酶也会重新合成。

The survival of a genetically-marked Aeromonas hydrophila strain was studied in water microcosms using viable counts. Aeromonas hydrophila AWWX1 was shown to survive without decline in viable counts for at least 10 d in three of four filtered-autoclaved freshwaters (surface water and groundwater) and in all examined filtered-autoclaved nutrient-poor waters (bottled spring water, Milli-Q and tap water). However, in the unfiltered waters, a rapid decrease in viable counts of Aer. hydrophila AWWX1 was observed after 1-5 d. The survival of Aer. hydrophila AWWX1 in nutrient-poor waters was compared with that of Pseudomonas fluorescens P17 and Spirillum strain NOX. Survival characteristics were organism- and water-dependent. In the filtered-autoclaved waters, viable counts of Spirillum strain NOX were ca 1 log-unit higher than for Aer. hydrophila AWWX1 and Ps. fluorescens P17. The tested strains Aer. hydrophila AWWX1 and Ps. fluorescens P17 survived 3 to 20, respectively 2 to 4 times better in the filtered-autoclaved waters compared to the unfiltered waters. Apparently, any inherent capability of these micro-organisms to adapt to low-nutrient environments was undone by the presence of the autochthonous microbiota. The present findings that Aer. hydrophila survives very poorly in several drinking waters is of utmost importance towards public health and arises questions about the mechanisms involved.

用活菌计数法研究了一种基因标记的嗜水气单胞菌菌株在水微生物中的存活。研究表明,嗜水气单胞菌AWWX1在四种经过过滤的高压灭菌淡水(地表水和地下水)中的三种以及所有经过过滤的高压灭菌的营养贫乏的水(瓶装泉水、milliq和自来水)中存活至少10天,而活菌数量没有下降。然而,在未经过滤的水中,Aer的活菌数量迅速下降。1 ~ 5 d后观察嗜水菌AWWX1的存活情况。在营养贫乏的水体中,将嗜水菌AWWX1与荧光假单胞菌P17和螺旋菌NOX进行比较。生存特征依赖于生物和水。在过滤后的高压水中,螺旋藻菌株NOX的活菌数比Aer高1 log-unit。亲水性蛋白AWWX1和荧光蛋白P17。测试的菌株是。亲水菌AWWX1和Ps. fluorescens P17在过滤后的高压灭菌水中的存活率分别为3 ~ 20倍,是未过滤水的2 ~ 4倍。显然,这些微生物适应低营养环境的任何固有能力都被本地微生物群的存在所破坏。目前的研究结果表明:嗜水菌在几种饮用水中的存活能力非常差,这对公众健康至关重要,并引发了有关其机制的问题。

A rapid and sensitive method for detection of Salmonella typhi would help in preventing the spread of outbreaks and in clinical diagnosis. In order to develop unique PCR primers to detect Salm. typhi, ribosomal RNA genes from Salm. typhi (Rawlings) were cloned in pUC18. The resulting clone was confirmed by sequencing. The cloned DNA fragment contained the 5S, part of the 23S rRNA genes and the 5S-23S spacer region (EMBL/GenBank accession No. U04734). It was expected that the 5S-23S spacer region is divergent unlike the highly conserved 23S + 5S genes. This was confirmed by comparison with the rRNA gene sequences in the EMBL/GenBank database. A pair of PCR primers specific for Salm. typhi was obtained, based on this spacer region sequence. The specificity of this pair of primers was tested with 54 Salm. typhi strains (of 27 different phage types). All these Salm. typhi strains showed the positive 300 bp PCR product with this pair of primers. Six other Salmonella species as well as six other non-Salmonella bacteria were tested and none showed the 300 bp PCR product. The sensitivity of the detection level was 0.1 pg of pure Salm. typhi genomic DNA, or approximately 40 Salm. typhi cells in a spiked food sample. This pair of primers therefore has the potential for development into a diagnostic tool for the rapid diagnosis of typhoid fever.

一种快速、灵敏的伤寒沙门氏菌检测方法将有助于预防疫情的蔓延和临床诊断。为了开发出检测Salm的独特PCR引物。伤寒,来自Salm的核糖体RNA基因。在pUC18中克隆了伤寒杆菌(Rawlings)。克隆结果经测序证实。克隆的DNA片段包含5S、部分23S rRNA基因和5S-23S间隔区(EMBL/GenBank登录号:U04734)。据推测,与高度保守的23S + 5S基因不同,5S-23S间隔区存在分化。与EMBL/GenBank数据库中的rRNA基因序列比较证实了这一点。Salm特异性PCR引物一对。根据这个间隔区序列得到了伤寒。用54个Salm检测了这对引物的特异性。伤寒菌株(27种不同的噬菌体类型)。这些都是Salm。该引物对斑疹伤寒菌株的PCR结果为300 bp阳性。另外6种沙门氏菌和6种非沙门氏菌均未检测出300 bp PCR产物。检测水平灵敏度为0.1 pg纯Salm。斑疹伤寒的基因组DNA,或大约40个Salm。食物样本中的伤寒细胞。因此,这对引物具有发展成为快速诊断伤寒的诊断工具的潜力。

Random amplified polymorphic DNA and restriction enzyme analysis of PCR amplified rDNA in taxonomy: two identification techniques for food-borne yeasts. 随机扩增多态性DNA和PCR扩增rDNA的限制性内切酶分析:食源性酵母的两种鉴定技术。

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay and the restriction enzyme analysis of PCR amplified rDNA are compared for the identification of the common spoilage yeasts Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Z. rouxii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida valida and C. lipolytica. Both techniques proved to be adequate tools for yeast identification. Since the RAPD does provide less stable patterns than restriction enzyme analysis of PCR amplified rDNA, and a large amount of data had to be compared without data reduction, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied successfully for clustering the RAPD patterns. The success of PCA is highly influenced by the primer used in RAPD and the amount of reference samples. A large amount of reference samples improves the performance of clustering in PCA.

比较了随机扩增多态性DNA (RAPD)法和PCR扩增rDNA限制性内切酶法对常见腐败酵母菌(Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Z. rouxii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida valida和C. lipolytica)的鉴定。这两种技术都被证明是酵母鉴定的适当工具。由于RAPD提供的模式不像PCR扩增的rDNA的限制性内切酶分析那样稳定,并且需要比较大量的数据而不进行数据缩减,因此应用主成分分析(PCA)成功地对RAPD模式进行聚类。主成分分析的成功与否很大程度上取决于RAPD中使用的引物和参考样品的数量。大量的参考样本提高了主成分分析的聚类性能。结果表明,引物的选择对RAPD方法的鉴别能力很重要。一些引物在亚种水平上进行了区分。两种分型方法收集的结果证明,该分型系统可用于分类学目的。

A new, rapid method for the determination of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC), especially suited to water industry needs, was recently proposed by the authors. This dynamic method measured the BDOC of circulating water continuously pumped over a biofilm attached to a special support (sinterized porous glass) that fills a system of two glass columns. The BDOC value corresponds to the difference in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) between inflow and outflow water samples. The analytical results are not significantly different from those of other bioassays that use indigenous bacteria, and the total duration of the analysis is less than 3 h. However, a problem common to all the BDOC methods based on attached bacteria is the extent to which the decrease in DOC during the BDOC analysis is due to true biodegradation or to adsorption of organic matter to the reactor. In the present study, a reasonable support is provided for the hypothesis that this decrease, at least in the dynamic method, is predominantly due to microbiological activity. After comparing the support (sinterized porous glass) with a good physical adsorbent (granular activated carbon), the influence of temperature, residual chlorine and sodium azide on the reactor performance was tested, and a sensitivity only attributable to biological activity was observed. Another set of experiments were performed to assess the fate and specific elimination of different organic substances, explicable assuming that biodegradation processes were involved.

最近,作者提出了一种新的快速测定生物可降解溶解有机碳(BDOC)的方法,特别适合于水工业的需要。这种动态方法测量了连续泵送循环水通过附着在特殊支撑(烧结多孔玻璃)上的生物膜的BDOC,该生物膜填充了由两个玻璃柱组成的系统。BDOC值对应的是流入和流出水样中溶解有机碳(DOC)的差异。分析结果与使用本地细菌的其他生物测定没有显著差异,分析的总持续时间小于3小时。然而,所有基于附着细菌的BDOC方法的共同问题是,在BDOC分析过程中DOC的减少是由于真正的生物降解还是有机物吸附到反应器中。在目前的研究中,一个合理的支持假设,这种减少,至少在动态方法中,主要是由于微生物活性。通过将载体(烧结多孔玻璃)与良好的物理吸附剂(颗粒活性炭)进行对比,测试了温度、余氯和叠氮化钠对反应器性能的影响,并观察到仅归因于生物活性的敏感性。进行了另一组实验来评估不同有机物质的命运和特定消除,假设涉及生物降解过程,这是可以解释的。
