Assessment of biofilm, enzyme production and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria from milk pre- and post-pasteurization pipelines in Algeria. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 407:110389. [PMID: 37708608 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Bacterial biofilm is a major concern of dairy industry due to its association with milk contamination and its derived products. Algerian pasteurized milk shelf-life does not exceed one day, which may reflect the high level of contamination of this product and presence of extracellular enzymes such as lipases and proteases. This work aimed to investigate the microbial biodiversity in milk-processing surfaces of a dairy plant in Algeria. Therefore, stainless steel cylinders were placed in piping system of the dairy system before and after pasteurization of the milk, being removed after 7 days, for biofilm maturation and microorganism isolation and identification by mass spectrometry. Fifty-nine Gram-positive isolates were identified, namely Bacillus altitudinis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus weithenstephanensis, Enterococcus casseliflavus, Enterococcus faecium, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In addition, twenty-four Gram-negative isolates were identified, namely Acinetobacter schindleri Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter xiangfangensis, Leclercia adecarboxylata, and Raoultella ornithinolytica. Bacterial isolates showed ability for production of extracellular enzymes, being 49 % capable of both proteolytic and lipolytic activities. Milk isolates were tested for the ability to form biofilms on stainless steel. The cell numbers recovered on plate count agar plates from stainless steel biofilms ranged from 3.52 to 6.92 log10 CFU/cm2, being the maximum number detected for Enterococcus casseliflavus. Bacterial isolates showed intermediate and/or resistant profiles to multiple antibiotics. Resistance to amoxicillin, cefoxitin and/or erythromycin was commonly found among the bacterial isolates.

Malek F. Flow of spore-forming bacteria between suppliers of dairy powders and users in some developing countries: challenges and perspectives. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2023; 60:2132-2142. [PMID: 37273561 PMCID: PMC10232714 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-022-05495-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Abstract Spore-forming bacteria are common contaminants of milk powder and processing lines and a major concern for the dairy industry. This dairy-associated microflora was studied extensively and well characterized in developed countries (exporters of milk powder), compared to developing countries (importers). Thereby, the quality issues affecting dairy powders and derived products are not fully controlled in developing countries. That is the case in Algeria, where recombined or reconstituted pasteurized milk is of low quality, reduced shelf-life, and the related dairies faced recurrent contaminations due to spores and biofilms. The transfer of spore-forming bacteria from exporters of dairy powders to importers in developing countries is an interesting topic, not thoroughly investigated. In addition, milk powder-based products are growing worldwide and their attributes, processes and technologies need to be better understood and controlled. This review analyzes issues affecting milk powder quality, based on few studies from developing countries in comparison with current knowledge, and emphasis on the case in Algeria. It provides information on how spore-forming bacteria and their biofilms affect the quality and shelf-life of recombined pasteurized milk produced in Algeria and compromise hygiene conditions in local dairy plants. Challenges and perspectives for better management of spore transfer from exporters of dairy powders to importers in developing countries are thereby outlined. Highlights The presence of spore-forming bacteria in milk powder is a serious safety issue.Spores are not well known, characterized and controlled in importers from developing countries.Spores cause recurrent contamination of pasteurized milk and biofilm issues in Algerian dairies.Challenges are how to reduce the flow of spores in milk powder trade.Perspectives on identification targeting predominant spores and improvement of biofilm removal.

Abstract
Bacillus cereus not only has adverse effects on the nutrition and shelf life of dairy products but also seriously endanger people's health. This study was conducted to reveal the prevalence and genetic diversity of B. cereus strains isolated from raw milk and cattle farm environments. A total 56 of B. cereus strains were detected from 300 environmental samples (soil, water, fodder, air, milk pails, milking machines, cowsheds, bedding, excrement, cow surfaces, udders, overalls, soles, and staff hand samples) and 50 raw milk samples, and divided into 18 sequence types (STs) using multilocus sequence typing method. These STs included ST27, ST61, ST92, ST142, ST168, ST208, ST378, ST427, ST766, ST 857, ST1098, ST1140, ST1194, ST1236, ST1336, ST1339, ST1341, and ST1348, among them, ST857 (7/56, 12.5%) was the dominant ST, and were detected from air, cowsheds, bedding, excrement, and raw milk samples. Our findings could reveal the distribution and genetic diversity of B. cereus strains in raw milk and cattle farm environments, and provide a theoretical basis for controlling the potential harm of this pathogenic bacteria in dairy products.

Abstract
In the dairy industry, bacterial contaminants persist on equipment surfaces due to spore and biofilm formation. These are involved in cross-contamination problems that affect the quality of processed products and limit their life. The pasteurization process, in which milk is submitted to moderate heat treatment, is inefficient against bacterial spores. The most prevalent sporulated bacteria belong to Bacillus and related genera. The situation is more complicated in countries where pasteurized milk is derived from imported milk powder originally contaminated by bacterial spores. Studies have shown biofilm formation on dairy equipment by mesophilic strains from the group Bacillus cereus and thermophilic strains from the genus Geobacillus. These biofilms are resistant to cleaning procedures and are sources of chronic contamination of pasteurized milk. This review analyzes the dairy situation in Algeria exposed to sporulated flora and derived biofilm problems, with the aim of proposing efficient solutions in the light of current knowledge.

Abstract
The presence of Bacillus cereus in milk is a major concern in the dairy industry. In this study 27 Bacillus cereus sensu lato isolates from pasteurized and ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) milk (24 whole UHT and 4 pasteurized samples) collected at supermarket chains in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were evaluated to assess the potential risk for food poisoning. Toxigenic and virulence profiles were defined by gene-specific PCR. Affiliation to phylogenetic groups was assigned by panC sequencing. Microbiological analysis revealed the presence of B. cereus s.l. in eight (33.3%) brands (six brands of UHT and two brands of pasteurized milk). Twenty-seven isolates were recovered (13 B. cereus and 14 Bacillus thuringiensis ). Predominant toxigenic patterns were type I (contains all toxin genes except ces) and type II (does not contain cytK and ces), with seven (25.9%) isolates each. Predominant virulence patterns were type 2 (does not contain hlyII or shp) and type 3 (contains all virulence genes), with five (18.5%) isolates each. All isolates belonged to phylogenetic groups III and IV. Presence of hbl, piplc, and sph was associated with group IV isolates. Our results suggest that B. thuringiensis and B. cereus sensu stricto should be considered potential foodborne pathogens. Because the majority of the milk isolates studied have the potential to cause food poisoning because of the high prevalence of toxin and virulence genes and the specific phylogenetic group affiliations, these milk products can be potentially hazardous for human consumption.
