Publisher: | Hellenic Veterinary Medical Soc | Abstract: | In this study, the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and non-O157 STEC serogroups of O26, O111, O103, and O145 were investigated during production and storage of yogurt. For this purpose, pathogens were individually inoculated into milk after pasteurization along with the starter culture (approximately 7.00 +/- 1.00 log(10) cfu/g). After incubation at 44 degrees C (about 180 min), yogurt samples were capped and stored at 4 degrees C for 20 days. Pathogens were enumerated at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20th days of storage. Lactic acid content (%) and pH of the samples were also screened. Moreover, mesophilic Lactococcus spp. and mesophilic Lactobacillus spp. were enumerated during production of yogurt. After incubation, the number of E. coli O157, O26, O103, O145, O111were 6.76 +/- 0.45, 6.64 +/- 0.53, 7.12 +/- 0.43, 6.00 +/- 1.39, 5.89 +/- 1.37 log(10) cfu/g, respectively. A significant decrease was determined in all groups during the storage of yogurt samples at 4 degrees C (p<0.05). It was detected on the 20th day of storage that the number of E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157 STEC serogroups of O103 and O145 were under the detection limit. However, STEC O26 and O111 were viable around 1.51 +/- 0.98 and 1.18 +/- 0.62 log(10) cfu/g respectively. Results of the study showed that Escherichia coli O157:H7 and non-O157 STEC serogroups might pose a potential health risk during production and storage of yogurt. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/47238 | ISSN: | 1792-2720 |
