Antibiotic susceptibility profile of Pediococcus spp. from diverse sources. 3 Biotech 2018; 8:489. [PMID: 30498662 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-018-1514-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2017] [Accepted: 11/13/2018] [Indexed: 10/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the antibiotic susceptibility profile of Pediococcus strains from diverse sources. From a total of 115 dairy and non-dairy samples, 40 Pediococcus strains were isolated. Their biochemical and molecular characterization confirmed them as P. pentosaceus and P. acidilactici. All the 40 identified isolates were evaluated for antibiotic susceptibility using disc diffusion assay against a total of 20 antibiotics. The isolates exhibited varied range of responses towards the antibiotics depending on the strain type, source and location of isolation. All the isolates were either sensitive or intermediate resistant to amoxycillin, erythromycin, ceftriaxone, cloxacillin, cefoperazone, penicillin, netillin, gentamycin and chloramphenicol. Resistance towards vancomycin and nalidixic acid was exhibited by most of the isolates. A total of 16 strains belonging to dosa batter (n = 4; n = number of isolates), fermented vegetables (n = 4), fermented grape juice (n = 4), idly batter (n = 3) and the only isolate from butter milk exhibited sensitivity/intermediate towards 80-90% of the studied antibiotics. No considerable difference in susceptibility pattern was observed between the two Pediococcus species, i.e., P. pentosaceus and P. acidilactici. Overall, the maximum resistance was exhibited by isolates belonging to silage (Sil-2; 50%) followed by cow milk (PD-41), dosa batter (8-PD) and human isolate (PD-45) which showed resistance towards 40% of studied antibiotics. The susceptibility profiling of Pediococcus strains will be helpful in their safer selection for future food and feed applications.

Abstract
The type strains of four subspecies of Leuconostocmesenteroides, L. mesenteroidessubsp. mesenteroides, L. mesenteroidessubsp. cremoris, L. mesenteroidessubsp. dextranicum and L. mesenteroidessubsp. suionicum, and strain DRC1506T, used as a starter culture for commercial kimchi production in Korea, were phylogenetically analyzed on the basis of their complete genome sequences. Although the type strains of the four L. mesenteroides subspecies and strain DRC1506T shared very high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (>99.72 %), the results of analysis of average nucleotide identity (ANI), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) and core-genome-based relatedness indicated that they could form five different phylogenetic lineages. The type strains of L. mesenteroidessubsp. mesenteroides, L. mesenteroidessubsp. cremoris and L. mesenteroidessubsp. dextranicum and DRC1506T shared higher ANI and in silico DDH values than the thresholds (95-96 % and 70 %, respectively) generally accepted for different species delineation, whereas the type strain of L. mesenteroidessubsp. suionicum (DSM 20241T) shared lower ANI (<94.1 %) and in silico DDH values (<57.0 %) with the other four L. mesenteroides lineage strains, indicating that DSM 20241T couldn be reclassified as representing a different species. Here, we report that DRC1506T represents a novel subspecies within the species Leuconostoc mesenteroides, for which the name Leuconostoc mesenteroidessubsp. jonggajibkimchii subsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DRC1506T (=KCCM 43249T=JCM 31787T). In addition, L. mesenteroidessubsp. suionicum is also reclassified as Leuconostoc suionicum. sp. nov. (type strain DSM 20241T=ATCC 9135T=LMG 8159T=NCIMB 6992T).

Abstract
A total of 516 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from chorizo made in Castilla-León (Spain) were characterized. Strains were isolated at three different stages: minced meat, half ripened chorizo and ripened chorizo. According to the Schillinger and Lücke classification, 355 strains (68.8%) were Lactobacillus sake, 85 strains (16.5%) were Lactobacillus curvatus, 32 strains (6.2%) belonged to the genus Pediococcus, and 44 strains which were not included in the previous species were grouped as Lactobacillus sp. Strains of L. sake and L. curvatus could be separated into four groups each, on the basis of fermentation of maltose and lactose. Group S1 (maltose-, lactose-négative L. sake) predominated (39.5%). Many strains of this group fermented the following carbohydrates: glucose, ribose, galactose, sucrose, melibiose and trehalose.

Abstract
The influence of different starter cultures on the sensory properties of chorizo, especially on texture, was studied. This work focused on the differences observed between the use of the commercial lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus sake (Lc) and Pediococcus sp (Pc), as well as on the differences between these commercial strains and another Lactobacillus sake (A216) isolated from traditional chorizo. Three batches of chorizo were processed, each batch made up of four different types that contained or lacked one of the three starter cultures. Concerning capacity of acidification, the results indicated that there were no differences between the use of Lactobacillics sake or Pediococcus sp when 0.1% glucose is used. Furthermore, there were no differences in the sensory properties of the final product. Sausage processed with noncommercial Lactobacillus sake (A216) had a more intense flavour and was preferred by consumers because of its texture and overall characteristics. The use of starter culture had a favourable influence on sausage processing, reducing its manu facture time and improving some sensory properties of the final product.

Abstract
A total of 152 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from pickles produced in the Ankara-Çubuk region. These isolates were clustered into eight groups on the basis of their phenotypic characteristics including cell morphology, CO2 production from glucose, growth at 10 and 45 °C, growth in 6.5 % NaCl, and growth at pH 9.6. API 50 CH carbohydrate fermentation test, 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequence analysis, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) whole-cell protein profile analysis were also performed for precise identification of the isolates at the species level. Molecular identification revealed that the most prevalent LAB species involved in pickle fermentation were Pediococcus ethanolidurans (46 isolates, 30.3 %), Lactobacillus brevis (37 isolates, 24.3 %), Lactobacillus plantarum (37 isolates, 24.3 %), and Lactobacillus buchneri (15 isolates, 9.9 %). Other LAB were found in minor frequencies such as Pediococcus parvulus (8 isolates, 5.3 %), Lactobacillus namurensis (6 isolates, 3.9 %), Lactobacillus diolivorans (1 isolate, 0.7 %), Lactobacillus parabrevis (1 isolate, 0.7 %), and Enterococcus casseliflavus (1 isolate, 0.7 %). When results of phenotypic and genotypic identification methods were compared, differences in the species distribution of LAB associated with pickles were defined between the API and the 16S rRNA sequencing. The API 50 CHL test coincided with the 16S rRNA results in 71 out of the 152 tested isolates, indicating that API gave unreliable identification results. A clear correlation could not be found between the results of whole-cell SDS profiles and 16S rRNA sequencing. Therefore, molecular characterization by 16S rRNA sequencing was considered to be the most reliable method for identifying isolates. The results presented in this work provide insight in to the LAB population associated with traditional Çubuk pickles and constitute a LAB strain resource for further studies involving the development of starter cultures.

Abstract
The taxonomic position of three
Lactobacillus
-like micro-organisms (strains SG293T, SG296 and SG310) isolated from fermented rice grain (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica) in Japan was investigated. These heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria were Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming and did not show catalase activity. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain SG293T revealed that the type strains of
Lactobacillus malefermentans
(98.3 %),
Lactobacillus odoratitofui
(96.2 %),
Lactobacillus similis
(96.1 %),
Lactobacillus kimchicus
(96.1 %),
Lactobacillus paracollinoides
(95.9 %) and
Lactobacillus collinoides
(95.7 %) were the closest neighbours. Additional phylogenetic analysis on the basis of pheS and rpoA gene sequences, as well as biochemical and physiological characteristics, indicated that these three strains were members of the genus
Lactobacillus
and that the novel isolates had a unique taxonomic position. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c and C19 : 1 cyclo 9,10. Because low DNA–DNA hybridization values among the isolates and
Lactobacillus malefermentans
JCM 12497T were observed, it is proposed that these unidentified isolates be classified as a novel species of the genus
Lactobacillus
,
Lactobacillus
oryzae sp. nov. The type strain is SG293T ( = JCM 18671T = DSM 26518T).

Abstract
Four strains of Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, catalase-negative and non-motile lactic acid bacteria, LOOC260T, LOOC253, LOOC273 and LOOC279, were isolated from timothy grass (Phleum pratense L.) silage produced in Hokkaido, a subarctic region of Japan. These isolates grew at 4–37 °C, indicating the psychrotolerant nature of these strains. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA and pheS gene sequences, as well as biochemical and physiological characteristics, indicated that these four strains were members of the genus
Lactobacillus
. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain LOOC260T demonstrated that the closest neighbours were the type strains of
Lactobacillus suebicus
(97.7 %),
Lactobacillus oligofermentans
(96.7 %) and
Lactobacillus vaccinostercus
(96.7 %). Strain LOOC260T showed low levels of DNA–DNA association with
Lactobacillus suebicus
JCM 9504T (14.7±3.5 %),
Lactobacillus oligofermentans
JCM 16175T (15.1±4.8 %) and
Lactobacillus vaccinostercus
JCM 1716T (10.7±3.0 %). The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c and C19 : 1 cyclo 9,10. On the basis of phenotypic, physiological and phylogenetic evidence, these isolates represent a novel species of the genus
Lactobacillus
, for which the name
Lactobacillus
hokkaidonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LOOC260T ( = JCM 18461T = DSM 26202T).

Abstract
A taxonomic study was conducted on two Gram-reaction-positive, catalase-negative, irregular short-rod-shaped or coccoid lactic acid bacteria, designated strains SG25T and SG23, that were isolated from grains of fermented Japanese rice (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica). A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data clearly showed that the strains belonged to the genus
Weissella
and were most closely related to
Weissella soli
LMG 20113T (with a sequence similarity of 96.9 % for each novel strain). The peptidoglycan of each strain contained the amino acids glutamic acid, lysine, serine and alanine in a molar ratio of 1.0 : 1.2 : 0.5 : 3.0, respectively. On the basis of the unusual phenotypic characteristics of the novel strains and the low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness recorded between each novel strain and
Weissella soli
JCM 12536T, strains SG25T and SG23 represent a single novel species in the genus
Weissella
, for which the name Weissella oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SG25T ( = JCM 18191T = DSM 25784T).

Abstract
The microbial flora of naturally fermented sausages was studied. Lactic acid bacteria were the dominant species at the end of fermentation in all 3 batches (ca. 10(8) cfu g(-1)). Enterobacteria, Pseudomonas, yeasts and aerobic spore-formers decreased during fermentation and the ripening process and were below the detection limit in the end product. Enterococci exceeded 10(4)-10(5) cfu g(-1) during fermentation and remained constant at this level during ripening. Gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci exceeded 10(5) cfu g(-1), except for batch 1, during the first days of fermentation and then decreased until the end of ripening (10(2)-10(4) cfu g(-1)). No pathogenic staphylococci, sulfite reducing clostridia or Salmonella spp. were detected. Listeria spp. occurred in the first days of fermentation but were eliminated by the end of whole process in all batches. Identification showed that the majority of lactobacilli isolated from MRS agar strains were assigned to the species of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lb. plantarum/pentosus. All the isolated strains from the mannitol salt agar belonged to the genus of Staphylococcus. The predominant species were Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus simulans. The tests used to characterize the lactic acid bacteria and staphylococci as well as their distribution on the three batches were also discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of natural antimicrobials on the growth of typical spoilage bacteria from marinated pork. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of thymol, cinnamaldehyde, allyl isothiocyanate, citric acid, ascorbic acid, a rosemary extract, and a grapefruit seed extract against Lactobacillus algidus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Leuconostoc carnosum, Carnobacterium maltaromaticum, Carnobacterium divergens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, and Serratia proteamaculans were determined in a microplate assay. Combinations of antimicrobials were tested and several combinations showed synergistic effects in inhibiting bacterial growth. Single and combined antimicrobials were added to vacuum-packed pork meat to evaluate preserving effects. Antimicrobial concentrations of up to 10 times the MIC values showed no effect on total bacterial growth in vacuum packed pork meaning that although most antimicrobials inhibited the growth of spoilage bacteria in vitro, results from the microplate assay could not be transferred to the meat system. Most natural antimicrobials possess strong odor and flavor that limit their use as a food preservative. In conclusion, this study showed that the use of natural antimicrobials in meat products is limited and that bacterial quality and shelf life was not enhanced under the chosen conditions.

Abstract
Mesophilic and psychrotrophic populations from refrigerated meat were identified in this study, and the spoilage potential of microbial isolates in packaged beef was evaluated by analyzing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fifty mesophilic and twenty-nine psychrotrophic isolates were analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR, and representative strains were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum and C. divergens were the species most frequently found in both mesophilic and psychrotrophic populations. Acinetobacter baumannii, Buttiauxella spp. and Serratia spp. were identified among the mesophilic isolates, while Pseudomonas spp. were commonly identified among the psychrotrophs. The isolates were further characterized for their growth at different temperatures and their proteolytic activity in vitro on meat proteins extracts at 7 degrees C. Selected proteolytic strains of Serratia proteamaculans, Pseudomonas fragi, and C. maltaromaticum were used to examine their spoilage potential in situ. Single strains of these species and mixtures of these strains were used to contaminate beef chops that were packed and stored at 7 degrees C. At time intervals up to 1 month, viable counts were determined, and VOC were identified by GC/MS. Generally, the VOC concentrations went to increase during the storage of the contaminated meats, and the profiles of the analyzed meat changed dramatically depending on the contaminating microbial species. About 100 volatiles were identified in the different contaminated samples. Among the detected volatiles, some specific molecules were identified only when the meat was contaminated by a specific microbial species. Compounds such as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-buten-1-ol, 2-hexyl-1-octanol, 2-nonanone, and 2-ethylhexanal were detectable only for C. maltaromaticum, which also produced the highest number of aldehydes, lactones, and sulfur compounds. The highest number of alcohols and ketons were detected in the headspace of meat samples contaminated by P. fragi, whereas the highest concentrations of some alcohols, such as 1-octen-3-ol, and some esters, such as isoamyl acetate, were produced by S. proteamaculans. In conclusion, different microbial species can contribute to meat spoilage with release of different volatile compounds that concur to the overall quality decrease of spoiling meat.

Abstract
Extracts prepared from honeysuckle, Scutellaria, Forsythia suspensa (Thunb), cinnamon, and rosemary with 75% ethanol and from clove oil dissolved in 75% ethanol were applied to inoculated agar media to observe their inhibitory effects on the growth of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Lactobacillus plantarum. All the extracts suppressed the growth of these bacteria; Scutellaria exhibited the strongest effect against E. coli. An orthogonal test revealed that the most effective antimicrobial composite extracts were equal-volume mixtures of 0.125 g/ml Scutellaria + 0.5 g/ml honeysuckle + 0.125 g/ml Forsythia + 0.25 g/ml cinnamon and 0.25 g/ml cinnamon + 0.125 g/ml rosemary + 0.25% clove oil. These mixed extracts also produced strong antimicrobial effects in vacuum-packaged fresh pork, with 1.81- to 2.32-log reductions in microbial counts compared with the control when stored for up to 28 days. The sensory panel detected minimal differences in surface color and off-odors between meat samples treated with herb-spice extracts and the control. These results indicate that combined herb and spice extracts can be used as natural antimicrobials for food preservation.

Abstract
An identification method by PCR, specific to the Carnobacterium genus, was optimised by testing it on 28 bacterial strains. Primers from the literature were tested to differentiate Carnobacterium strains present among various bacterial species. The DNA of Carnobacterium species (C. alterfunditum, C. divergens, C. funditum, C. gallinarum, C. inhibens, C. maltaromaticum, C. mobile, C. viridans), specifically amplified by the Cb1-Cb2R primer couple at a hybridization temperature of 69 degrees C, gave only one band of 340 bp. The validation of this technique was carried out on a French soft cheese made with pasteurised milk inoculated with C. maltaromaticum LMA 28. Using classical PCR, detection was not possible for decimal dilutions of the cheese above 1 g L(-1). With Sybr Green I real time PCR, the specificity of the reaction was confirmed by the T(m) value. The standard curve constructed using the main threshold cycle and various concentrations of C. maltaromaticum LMA 28 (ranging from 10(0) to 10(8) cfu mL(-1)) showed good linearity and a sensitivity limit of > or = 10(4) cfu g(-1) of cheese. This technique was applied on commercially available cheeses made from raw cow's milk. The Sybr Green I real time PCR method constitutes an effective and easy-to-perform method to quantify Carnobacterium sp. in cheese.

Abstract
In order to show which of the initial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) contaminants are also causing spoilage of a modified-atmosphere-packaged (MAP), marinated broiler leg product at 6 degrees C, LAB were enumerated and identified on the 2nd and 17th days following manufacture. A total of 8 fresh and 13 spoiled packages were studied for LAB levels. In addition, aerobic mesophilic bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae were determined. The average CFU/g values in the 8 fresh packages were 1.3 x 10(3), 9.8 x 10(3) and 2.6 x 10(2) on de Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (MRS), Plate Count Agar (PCA) and Violet Red Bile Glucose agar (VRBG), respectively. The commercial shelf life for the product had been set as 12 days, and all packages analyzed on the 17th day were deemed unfit for human consumption by sensory analysis. The corresponding CFU/g averages in the spoiled product were 1.4 x 10(9), 1.1 x 10(9) and 3.9 x 10(7) on MRS, PCA and VRBG agar, respectively. For characterization of LAB population, 104 colonies originating from the fresh packages and 144 colonies from the spoiled packages were randomly picked, cultured pure and identified to species level using a 16 and 23S rDNA HindIII RFLP (ribotyping) database. The results showed that enterococci (35.7% of the LAB population) were dominating in the fresh product, whereas carnobacteria (59.7%) dominated among the spoilage LAB. Enterococcus faecalis, Carnobacterium piscicola and Carnobacterium divergens were the main species detected. In general, when the initial LAB population is compared to the spoilage LAB, a shift from homofermentative cocci towards carnobacteria, Lactobacillus sakei/curvatus and heterofermentative rods is seen in this marinated product.

Abstract
A total of 176 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from a typical Spanish blood sausage called "morcilla de Burgos" were identified by means of phenotypic characteristics and 16S rDNA RFLP (ribotyping). LAB were isolated from "morcilla" of different producers and in different storage periods, which includes unpackaged, vacuum and modified atmosphere packaged "morcilla" and vacuum packed and pasteurised "morcilla". The knowledge of specific spoilage bacteria of "morcilla de Burgos" will be useful to design new preservation methods to extend the shelf-life of this product. Identification made according to phenotypic and biochemical characteristics shows the majority of the isolates were heterofermentative LAB (93.2%) and eight different bacterial groups could be distinguished (A-G). Weisella viridescens was the main species detected (42%). In addition, Leuconostoc spp. (23.9%), Weissella confusa (11.4%) and Lactobacillus fructosus (5.7%) species were found. Few strains were phenotypically misidentified as Lactobacillus sanfrancisco, Pediococcus spp., Lactobacillus sakei/curvatus and Carnobacterium spp. and 11 strains remained unknown. Most of the leuconostocs were identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Leuconostoc carnosum species. Ribotyping shows a quite good correlation with phenotypic methods, although it has been possible to identify 15 different clusters. W. viridescens and leuconostocs were also the predominant LAB. Strains identified as W. confusa by phenotypic characteristics were resolved in W. confusa and Weissella cibaria by ribotyping. Neither Carnobacterium piscicola nor Lb. sanfrancisco were identified by means of genotypic method. All Lb. fructosus strains and some more included in different phenotypic groups (17 strains in total) could not be associated with any reference strain (cluster VII).

Abstract
The population dynamic of constitutive biota on 84 samples belonging to two different types of French fermented dry sausages during the ripening process in a pilot-scale ripening chamber was investigated. Samples were analyzed in three steps of their production: fresh product, first drying stage, and finished product. In addition, 180 strains of lactic acid bacteria were identified using a miniaturized biochemical procedure of characterization. In general, the number of lactic acid bacteria that evolved during the ripening process of French dry sausages increased during the first days of the process after which the number of these organisms remained constant at approximately 8 log CFU/g. Lactobacillus sakei and Pediococcus pentosaceus, bacteria added as starter, were the dominant species. Pediococcus urinaeequi, Pediococcus acidilactici, and particularly Lactobacillus curvatus were also present. Finally, we have to take into account that the controlled conditions of the pilot plant generally contribute to the homogenization of the behavior of the starter biota.

Abstract
Two closely related lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus, are very difficult to be rapidly differentiated. Here we report multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based restriction enzyme analysis that is useful for rapid and reliable identification of these two species. This method employs both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme analysis (REA). First, multiplex-PCR using three primers that were designed from 16S rDNA sequence produces two bands, a 433-bp and a 623-bp band. A 433-bp band represents only L. sakei and L. curvatus among lactobacilli and genetically related bacteria, and a 623-bp band is used for further identification by restriction analysis. Second, restriction analysis of 623-bp band using Hind III restriction enzyme discriminates L. sakei from L. curvatus. This method could identify 28 strains as L. sakei or L. curvatus, which were frequently isolated from kimchi, a traditional fermented cabbage product in South Korea. Therefore, these results suggest that this method is simple, rapid, and reliable for the identification of L. sakei and L. curvatus species.

Abstract
The genus Carnobacterium is currently divided into the following eight species: Carnobacterium piscicola, C. divergens, C. gallinarum, C. mobile, C. funditum, C. alterfunditum, C. inhibens, and C. viridans. An identification tool for the rapid differentiation of these eight Carnobacterium species was developed, based on the 16S-23S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacer region (ISR). PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of this 16S-23S rDNA ISR was performed in order to obtain restriction profiles for all of the species. Three PCR amplicons, which were designated small ISR (S-ISR), medium ISR (M-ISR), and large ISR (L-ISR), were obtained for all Carnobacterium species. The L-ISR sequence revealed the presence of two tRNA genes, tRNA(Ala) and tRNA(Ile), which were separated by a spacer region that varied from 24 to 38 bp long. This region was variable among the species, allowing the design of species-specific primers. These primers were tested and proved to be species specific. The identification method based on the 16S-23S rDNA ISR, using PCR-RFLP and specific primers, is very suitable for the rapid low-cost identification and discrimination of all of the Carnobacterium species from other phylogenetically related lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract
A novel strategy for identification of Carnobacterium food isolates based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of PCR-amplified 16S-23S ribosomal intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) was developed. PCR amplification from all Carnobacterium strains studied always yielded three ISR amplicons, which were designated the small ISR (S-ISR), the medium ISR (M-ISR), and the large ISR (L-ISR). The lengths of these ISRs varied from one species to another. Carnobacterium divergens NCDO 2763(T) and C. mobile DSM 4849(T) generated one major S-ISR band (ca. 400 bp) and minor M-ISR and L-ISR bands (ca. 500 and ca. 600 bp, respectively). The ISRs amplified from C. gallinarum NCFB 2766(T) and C. piscicola NCDO 2762(T) were larger (S-ISR, ca. 600 bp; M-ISR, ca. 700 bp; and L-ISR, ca. 800 bp). The L-ISR contained two tDNAs coding for tRNA(Ile) and tRNA(Ala) genes. The M-ISR included one tRNA(Ala) gene, and the S-ISR did not contain a tDNA gene. The RFLP scheme devised involves estimation of variable PCR product sizes together with HinfI, TaqI, and HindIII restriction analysis. Forty-two isolates yielded four unique band patterns that correctly resolved these isolates into four Carnobacterium species. This method is very suitable for rapid, low-cost identification of a wide variety of Carnobacterium species without sequencing.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for centuries in the fermentation of a variety of dairy products. The preservative ability of LAB in foods is attributed to the production of anti-microbial metabolites including organic acids and bacteriocins. Bacteriocins generally exert their anti-microbial action by interfering with the cell wall or the membrane of target organisms, either by inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis or causing pore formation, subsequently resulting in death. The incorporation of bacteriocins as a biopreservative ingredient into model food systems has been studied extensively and has been shown to be effective in the control of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. However, a more practical and economic option of incorporating bacteriocins into foods can be the direct addition of bacteriocin-producing cultures into food. This paper presents an overview of the potential for using bacteriocin-producing LAB in foods for the improvement of the safety and quality of the final product. It describes the different genera of LAB with potential as biopreservatives, and presents an up-to-date classification system for the bacteriocins they produce. While the problems associated with the use of some bacteriocin-producing cultures in certain foods are elucidated, so also are the situations in which incorporation of the bacteriocin-producer into model food systems have been shown to be very effective.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize gram-positive, catalase-negative, psychrotrophic, lactic acid-homofermentative, non-motile cocci isolated from vacuum-packaged refrigerated beef using phenotypic and genotypic methods. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 89 strains was isolated at 2 and 6 weeks as one of the predominant microflora of five samples of vacuum-packaged beef stored at 2 degrees C. The strains were compared with reference strains of some gram-positive, catalase-negative cocci using SDS-PAGE whole-cell protein pattern analysis, biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing. The biochemical and physiological characteristics of the isolates resembled those of Lactococcus piscium GTC 552(T). Numerical analysis of the SDS-PAGE whole-cell protein patterns resulted in close clustering of the strains with L. piscium GTC 552(T) (r > 0.68). Other Lactococcus and Leuconostoc species could be distinguished from the isolates using SDS-PAGE whole-cell protein patterns (r < 0.58) and biochemical characteristics. The 16S rDNA sequencing of four randomly selected strains showed that the strains differed from L. piscium GTC 552(T) by two to three bases in the highly variable region of the sequence. This is the first report on the isolation of L. piscium from vacuum-packaged beef. CONCLUSIONS The gram-positive catalase-negative cocci isolated from vacuum-packaged refrigerated beef have been identified as L. piscium. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The findings of this work contribute to the knowledge of the microflora of vacuum-packaged refrigerated beef.

Abstract
The development of a community of lactic acid bacteria from vacuum-packaged beef was investigated during a 6-week storage trial at 2 degrees C. The lactic acid bacteria population was monitored by using molecular techniques to identify a random sample of isolates at biweekly intervals during the storage trial. The polymerase chain reaction and a randomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique were used to identify and distinguish populations of lactic acid bacteria that developed during the storage trial. At week 0, the population of lactic acid bacteria was 3.5 log cfu/120 cm2 and by week 6, the population reached a maximum of 7.6 log cfu/120 cm2. A sampling from the week 0 population indicated a mixed community of Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus sakei and Leuconostoc spp. However, the sampling from week 6 indicated the population composition had changed to one where a single Leuconostoc strain predominated. This strain demonstrated antagonism towards the growth of other lactic acid bacteria isolated during the study. Additionally, the strain inhibited the growth of foodborne pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes. DNA sequence data from the 16S rRNA gene suggested that the isolate may be a Leuconostoc gelidum strain.

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used as disinfectant in medical and food environments. There is a growing concern about the increasing incidence of disinfectant-resistant microorganisms from food. Disinfectant-resistant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may survive disinfection and cause spoilage problems. Moreover, resistant LAB may potentially act as a reservoir for resistance genes. A total number of 320 LAB from food industry and meat were screened for resistance to the QAC benzalkonium chloride (BC). Out of 320 strains, five strains (1.5%) were considered to be resistant and 56 (17.5%) were tolerant to BC. The resistant strains were isolated from food processing equipment after disinfection. The resistant, tolerant, and some sensitive control bacteria were examined for susceptibility to 18 different antibiotics, disinfectants, and dyes using disc agar diffusion test and microdilution method. Little systematic cross-resistance between BC and any of the antimicrobial agents tested were detected except for gentamycin and chlorhexidine. A BC-tolerant strain was much easier to adapt to higher levels of BC as compared to a BC-sensitive strain. No known gram-positive QAC resistance genes (qacA/B, qacC, qacG, and qacH) were detected in the BC-resistant strains. Identification to species level of the BC-resistant isolates was carried out by comparative analysis of 16S-rDNA sequencing. In conclusion, resistance to BC is not frequent in LAB isolated from food and food environments. Resistance may occur after exposure to BC. The BC resistant isolates showed no cross-resistance with other antimicrobial compounds, except for gentamycin and chlorhexidine. Nevertheless, BC-resistant LAB may be isolated after disinfection and may contribute to the dissemination of resistance.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the combined effect of packaging film and temperature on the rate and type of end-products caused by the growth of two main contrasting prevailing organisms in air and 100% CO2, Pseudomonas sp. and Lactobacillus sp., respectively. METHODS AND RESULTS Pseudomonas sp. and Lactobacillus sp. were inoculated individually on sterile meat fillets. The samples were packed in air or 100% CO2, using a high and a low permeable film, and stored at 0 and 10 degrees C. Pseudomonas sp. grew aerobically and in 100% CO2 using high permeable film at both storage temperatures, while film permeability significantly affected the growth of Lactobacillus sp. only at 10 degrees C. Enzymatic kits and HPLC and GC analysis were used to determine the chemical changes of the samples throughout storage. Pseudomonas sp. presented a greater rate of consumption of glucose and lactate than Lactobacillus sp. in samples stored aerobically or with high permeable film. Propanol-1 and two unidentified organic acids were present only in samples inoculated with Pseudomonas sp., while acetaldehyde, ethanol, diacetyl and acetoin were detected in samples inoculated with Lactobacillus sp. CONCLUSION Since different microbial species and introduction of new packaging methods affect spoilage reactions of meat either qualitatively or quantitatively, a combination of several chemical indicators should be thoroughly investigated. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The present study provides information on how and when such potential indicators can be exploited for the benefit of the industry and consumer.

Abstract
A rapid, systematic and reliable approach for identifying lactic acid bacteria associated with meat was developed, allowing for detection of Carnobacterium spp., Lactobacillus curvatus, Lact. sakei and Leuconostoc spp. Polymerase chain reaction primers specific for Carnobacterium and Leuconostoc were created from 16S rRNA oligonucleotide probes and used in combination with species-specific primers for the 16S/23S rRNA spacer region of Lact. curvatus and Lact. sakei in multiplex PCR reactions. The method was used successfully to characterize lactic acid bacteria isolated from a vacuum-packaged pork loin stored at 2 degrees C. Seventy isolates were selected for identification and 52 were determined to be Lact. sakei, while the remaining 18 isolates were identified as Leuconostoc spp.

Abstract
A total of 149 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the spontaneous fermentation of 'Almagro' eggplants were characterized and identified. Of the isolates, 148 were determined as belonging to the genus Lactobacillus. A coccoid, gram-positive database-negative isolate was obtained in the early stages of fermentation. The Lactobacillus strains were divided into six groups based on sugar fermentation patterns and other physiological and morphological characteristics, and were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum biotype 1 (54.4%), Lactobacillus brevis biotype 2 (19.5%), Lactobacillus fermentum (9.4%), Lactobacillus brevis biotype 3 (5.4%), Lactobacillus pentosus (4.7%) and nine strains, which were not included in the previous species, were grouped as Lactobacillus spp. (6.0%). Fermentation was initiated by Lactobacillus brevis biotype 2 and Lactobacillus fermentum. During the fermentation Lactobacillus plantarum became the predominant species.

Abstract
The potential of the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique to differentiate Carnobacterium divergens from other members of the genus Carnobacterium was examined. A numerical analysis of the genomic profiles obtained demonstrated that it was possible to differentiate the C. divergens strains from other Carnobacterium strains using this technique. The heterogeneity observed in the representatives of the species C. piscicola adds further weight to the suggestion in other taxonomic studies that subspecies of this species exist.
