Abstract

The contamination of Bacillus cereus was investigated in 240 RTE (ready-to-eat) food samples including 118 seafoods, 82 Korean packaged meals and 40 other RTE foods. Many B. cereus presumptive strains were isolated from the enrichment culture in Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) added polymyxin, followed by selective culture in Mannitol Egg Yolk Polymyxin (MYP) agar and Gram staining. A total of 36 strains (16 in seafoods, 17 in Korean pack-aged meals and 3 in other RTE foods) were identified as B. cereus by the analysis of 61 biochemical tests of the API 50CHB/20E system test and supplementary tests of $\beta$-hemolysis, rhizoid growth, motility and oxidase activity. The 28 strains out of 36 B. cereus isolates produced diarrhoeal enter-otoxin in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth. All isolates were resistant to ampicillin and penicillin antibiotics, and most of them were susceptible to gentamicin, vancomycin, bacitracin, chloram-phenicol, kanamycin and streptomycin. The growth of B. cereus was affected by environmental temperature and incubation time. Culture with temperature under 1$0^{\circ}C$ effectively restricted the growth of B. cereus.

국민 다소비 식품인 생선회, 패류 등의 횟감류 118건, 김밥, 햄버거 등의 도시락류 82건 및 기타 ready-to-eat(RTE) 식품 40건, 총 240건을 대상으로 Bacillus cereus의 오염실태를 조사한 결과, 횟감류 16건(13.6%), 도시락류 17건(20.7%), 기타 RTE 식품에서 3건(7.5%), 총 36건(15.0%)에서 B. cereus가 검출되었다. B. cereus의 검출은 polymyxin B를 첨가한 TSB배지를 사용한 증균배양 후, MYP agar에서 전형적인 집락을 선별하였으며, 선별된 균주들을 대상으로 그람염색, oxidase test, 혈액한천배지에서의 rhizoid growth, $\beta$-용혈성 유ㆍ무등을 통해 추정 균주들을 분리하였다. API 50CHB/20E system을 통한 생화학적 분석과 motility시험 등을 행하여 최종적으로 B. cereus로서 동정ㆍ확인하였다. 확인된 36균주 중 28균주(77.8%)가 BCET-RPLA 시험을 통해 BHI broth에서 설사형 독소를 생성하는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 항생제 감수성 시험 결과 분리균들은 ampicillin (100%), penicillin G (100%) 및 rifampicin (69.5%)에 내성을 보였으며, gentamicin (100%), vancomycin (100%), bacitracin (86.1%), chloram-phenicol (97.2%), erythromycin (69.4%), kanamycin (86.1%) 및 streptomycin (97.2%)에 감수성을 나타내었다. B. cereus의 생육은 온도와 시간에 밀접한 관련성을 보였는데, 냉장온도인 1$0^{\circ}C$이하에서는 균의 생육이 상당히 저해된 반면, 2$0^{\circ}C$ 및 3$0^{\circ}C$에 보관시에는 급격한 증식을 보여 기온이 상승하는 하절기에 특히 많은 주의가 필요하다고 판단되었다.
