Comparison of Brands of Media for Isolating Bacteria from Poultry, Beef and Shrimp

et al.

Abstract: Five brands of media (BBL, Difco, Gibco, Oxoid and Scott) were evaluated for enumerating microorganisms by the aerobic plate count and by Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, and coliform counts, and for determining Salmonella incidence. Microbiological evaluations were done on raw chickens, raw beef and raw shrimp, except that Salmonella incidence was not determined on shrimp samples. There were statistically significant differences in total plate counts (with chicken, beef and shrimp), Enterobacteriaceae co… Show more

We conducted a study to determine quantitatively and qualitatively the presence of Campylobacter spp., Escherichia coli, staphylococci, total coliforms, total aerobic bacteria, and Salmonella on broiler carcasses from selected small retail processors in Trinidad. We used standard media and procedures for detection and quantification. All carcass and weep samples were positive for aerobic bacteria, E. coli, total coliforms, and staphylococci. Significant differences in the mean counts of aerobic bacteria were observed for samples of carcass (P = 0.001), weep (P = 0.038), and liver and heart (P = 0.017). There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the prevalence of E. coli and Campylobacter for liver and heart samples and gizzard samples across various areas (health divisions) in Trinidad and for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli for offal samples. The prevalence of Salmonella in carcass, drip, gizzard, and liver and heart samples was 7.3, 3.1, 2.1, and 1.0%, respectively, and three serotypes, Salmonella Kiambu (53.8%), Salmonella Kentucky (38.5%), and Salmonella Mbandaka (7.7%) were isolated. Of the six groups of microbes considered with respect to sale activity, the differences in the prevalence of Campylobacter in medium-activity sale shops (95.8%) and low-activity sale shops (83.3%) and the mean counts of staphylococci for medium-activity sale shops (5.5 +/- 0.9) and low-activity sale shops (5.1 +/- 0.8) were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Carcasses rinsed in a stagnant system had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) prevalence (92.3%) and mean count per milliliter (3.1 +/- 0.7) for Campylobacter compared with 77.8% and 2.7 +/- 0.7 for shops that rinsed with constantly running water. The frequency of rinse water change significantly (P = 0.04) affected the prevalence of Salmonella on carcasses. It is recommended that a quality control system be introduced for these shops, particularly with respect to evisceration and rinsing practices.

1. The microbiological quality and shelf life of chicken carcasses marketed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were assessed. 2. The mean initial microbial counts (log10 count/cm2) were 4.67, 4.14, 2.21, 2.78 and 2.96 for total aerobes, psychrotrophs, coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus and yeasts and moulds, respectively; these counts suggest a moderate level of contamination during processing. 3. Yeasts and moulds were present in relatively large numbers and constituted a considerable portion of the spoilage flora. 4. The mean shelf life of chicken broilers was 9.6, 6 and 4.4 d at 4, 7 and 10 degrees C, respectively. Storage at 4 degrees C resulted in better keeping than storage at 7 degrees C or 10 degrees C, while there was no significant difference between 7 degrees and 10 degrees C. 5. The initial total of aerobes, psychrotrophs and yeasts and moulds were found to negatively correlate with shelf life.
