Qualidade bacteriológica de ovos contaminados com Pseudomonas aeruginosa e armazenados em temperatura ambiente ou refrigerados

Abstract

BACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF WASHED AND UNWASHED EGGS STORED UNDER ROOM TEMPERATURE AND REFRIGERATION AND CONTAMINATED WITH Pseudomonas aeruginosa ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sanitization and storage temperature on the quality of commercial eggs inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We used 240 large eggs, without cracks, from Dekalb White laying hens at 30 to 40 weeks of age. The experimental design used was two blocks in a 2 x 2 factorial arrange (washed/non-washed and refrigerated/non-refrigerated) with twelve replicates. The eggs were contaminated by handling, with 1.5 x 10 5 colony-forming units (CFU) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and stored at 5 °C and 25 °C for 30 days. Each ten days the eggshell and contents were submitted to bacteriological analyses. Variance analyses were performed and the data were compared by Tukey test. The results showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from the shells and contents of all eggs. Therefore, when the eggs were sanitized and stored at 5 ºC the contamination was less intense. The correlation between the presences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the shell and contents was high, when the eggs were not sanitized nor refrigerated. The conclusion of this study was that the egg must be sanitized and refrigerated when the stored for more than 30 days.

Brazilian green propolis doesn't have a beneficial effect on the cryopreservation of domestic cat epididymal spermatozoa

“…Occasionally, these cells tended to group into clusters with more than 3 cell units, generating morphology similar to streptobacillus microorganisms. It is believed to be contamination from egg yolk, a product which may contain bacteria strains of Salmonella (Oliveira & Silva, 2000) and Pseudomonas genus (Mendes et al, 2014). It is worth mentioning that the same egg yolk was used in the preparation of the cryoprotectant medium of the control group and the treatment groups containing propolis.…”

Bacteria Isolated from Free-range Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) Eggs Sold in Semiarid Conditions and its One Health Impact

“…However, microbiological studies reveal that contamination occurs, for most bacteria, mainly after laying. This horizontal spread is characterized by bacterial contamination in the passage through the cloaca or in contact with the environment and in its manipulation, with a direct correlation between egg and environment contamination [19].…”

“…A qualidade de ovos é um termo que se refere a vários padrões que definem a qualidade interna e externa, onde a qualidade externa é focada principalmente na formação da casca e suas características, enquanto a qualidade interna refere-se à limpeza e viscosidade do albúmen, forma da gema e coloração da gema entre outras características que podem ser influenciadas diretamente pela alimentação das aves e que podem ter impacto direto na hora da comercialização (MENDES et al, 2014).…”
