Abstract
Trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC), a typical plant-derived compound, has been widely used in the control of foodborne pathogen contamination. Nevertheless, the risk associated with the occurrence of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria induced by TC remains unclear. The results of this study showed that Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) entered the VBNC state after being induced by TC at a minimum inhibitory concentration of 312.5 μg/mL and survived for at least 22 days under TC treatment. Enhanced resistance was found against heat treatment (75°C, 30 s), antibiotics (i.e., ampicillin, ceftriaxone sodium, chloramphenicol), and hydrogen peroxide (3%) in VBNC S. Enteritidis. A synergistic effect against VBNC S. Enteritidis occurred when TC was combined with acid treatment, including lactic acid and acetic acid (pH = 3.5). VBNC and resuscitated S. Enteritidis by sodium pyruvate treatment (100 mM) were found to retain the infectious ability to Caco-2 cells. Relative expression levels of the stress-related genes relA, spoT, ppx, lon, katG, sodA, dnaK, and grpE were upregulated in VBNC S. Enteritidis. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein aggregates was observed in VBNC cells. Besides, the resuscitation of VBNC cells was accompanied with clearance of ROS and protein aggregates. In summary, this study presents a comprehensive characterization of stress tolerance and resuscitation of VBNC S. Enteritidis induced by cinnamaldehyde, and the results provide useful information for the development of effective control strategy against VBNC pathogenic bacteria in food production.

[PMID: 37761181 PMCID: PMC10527867 DOI: 10.3390/foods12183472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The fermentation process can be affected when the starter culture enters the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate how VBNC cells change physiologically. Lacticaseibacillus (L.) paracasei Zhang is both a probiotic and a starter strain. This study aimed to investigate the metabolomic differences between VBNC and recovered L. paracasei Zhang cells. First, L. paracasei Zhang was induced to enter the VBNC state by keeping the cells in a liquid de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS) medium at 4 °C for 220 days. Flow cytometry was used to sort the induced VBNC cells, and three different types of culture media (MRS medium, skim milk with 1% yeast extract, and skim milk) were used for cell resuscitation. Cell growth responses in the three types of recovery media suggested that the liquid MRS medium was the most effective in reversing the VBNC state in L. paracasei Zhang. Metabolomics analysis revealed 25 differential metabolites from five main metabolite classes (amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid, vitamin, and purine and pyrimidine). The levels of L-cysteine, L-alanine, L-lysine, and L-arginine notably increased in the revived cells, while cellulose, alginose, and guanine significantly decreased. This study confirmed that VBNC cells had an altered physiology.

Citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde, two plant-derived antimicrobial agents can induce Staphylococcus aureus into VBNC state with different characteristics. Food Microbiol 2023; 112:104241.

Abstract
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state bacteria are difficult to detect in the food industry due to their nonculturable nature and their recovery characteristics pose a potential threat to human health. The results of this study indicated that S. aureus was found to enter the VBNC state completely after induced by citral (1 and 2 mg/mL) for 2 h, and after induced by trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.5 and 1 mg/mL) for 1 h and 3 h, respectively. Except for VBNC state cells induced by 2 mg/mL citral, the VBNC state cells induced by the other three conditions (1 mg/mL citral, 0.5 and 1 mg/mL trans-cinnamaldehyde) were able to be resuscitated in TSB media. In the VBNC state cells induced by citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde, the ATP concentration was reduced, the hemolysin-producing ability was significantly decreased, but the intracellular ROS level was elevated. The results of heat and simulated gastric fluid experiments showed different environment resistance on VBNC state cells induced by citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde. In addition, by observing the VBNC state cells showed that irregular folds on the surface, increased electron density inside and vacuoles in the nuclear region. What's more, S. aureus was found to enter the VBNC state completely after induced by meat-based broth containing citral (1 and 2 mg/mL) for 7 h and 5 h, after induced by meat-based broth containing trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.5 and 1 mg/mL) for 8 h and 7 h. In summary, citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde can induce S. aureus into VBNC state and food industry needs to comprehensively evaluate the antibacterial capacity of these two plant-derived antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly infective pathogens are cultured and studied in biosafety laboratories. It is critical to thoroughly disinfect these laboratories to prevent laboratory infection. A whole-room, non-contact, reduced corrosion disinfection strategy using hydrogen peroxide was proposed and evaluated. AIM To evaluate the bactericidal efficacy of 8% and 10% vaporized hydrogen peroxide( VHP) in a laboratory setting with spores and bacteria as bioindicators. METHODS Spores of B. atrophaeus and B. stearothermophilus, along with bacteria E. coli, S. aureus, and S. epidermidis were placed in pre-selected locations in a sealed laboratory and an OXY-PHARM NOCOSPRAY2 vaporized hydrogen peroxide generator was applied. Spore killing efficacy was qualitatively evaluated, and bactericidal efficacy was quantitatively analyzed, and the mean log10 reduction was determined. Finally, the optimized disinfection strategy was verified in a BSL-3 laboratory. FINDINGS Significant reductions in microbial load were obtained for each of the selected spores and bacteria when exposed to VHP in concentrations of 8% and 10% for 2～3 h. S. aureus was found to be more resistant than E. coli and S. epidermidis. Tests with 8% hydrogen peroxide and exposure for more than 3 h completely killed B. atrophaeus on surfaces and equipment in the BSL-3 laboratory. CONCLUSION The vaporized hydrogen peroxide generator is superior in terms of good diffusivity and low corrosiveness and is time-effective in removing the disinfectant residue. This study provides reference for the precise disinfection of air and object surfaces in biosafety laboratories under varying conditions.
