Title in Portuguese
Listeria monocytogenes em matadouros de aves: marcadores sorológicos e genéticos no monitoramento de sua disseminação
Keywords in Portuguese
Aves
Disseminação das cepas
Listeria monocytogenes
Tipagem molecular
Abstract in Portuguese
O Brasil é o maior exportador de carne de frango e o terceiro maior produtor desta carne. O consumo desta fonte de proteína tem aumentado bastante nos últimos anos, tendo passado de 23,2 Kg/habitante em 1995 para 35,5 Kg/habitante em 2005. O mercado internacional tem se tornado cada vez mais exigente com relação aos padrões microbiológicos destes produtos. Pela importância das aves para a economia brasileira e por Listeria monocytogenes apresentar alta taxa de mortalidade, além de ser facilmente encontrada em carne de aves, decidiu-se verificar a ocorrência deste patógeno em dois matadouros, um com evisceração automática (Planta A) e outro com evisceração manual (Planta M), e traçar as possíveis rotas da disseminação do microrganismo na linha de processamento. Do total de 851 amostras coletadas de produtos, das superfícies de contato e de não contato com o produto, das mãos dos manipuladores e da água utilizada durante o processo de abate, 423 amostras foram da Planta A e 428 da Planta M. O teste VIP® Listeria foi utilizado para a triagem das amostras, sendo que aquelas positivas foram submetidas à caracterização fenotípica (provas bioquímicas e ágar cromogênico). A identificação e a tipagem das cepas foi realizada por técnicas moleculares (BAX® System, multiplex-PCR 16S rRNA, multiplex-PCR, ribotipagem e PFGE). L. monocytogenes foi isolada de 20,1% das amostras da Planta A, sendo 61,6% pertencentes ao sorogrupo 4b, 4d ou 4e; 19,2% ao sorogrupo 1/2a ou 3a; 15,2% ao sorogrupo 1/2c ou 3c; e 4,0% ao sorogrupo 1/2b, 3b ou 7. Na Planta M, 16,4% das amostras foram positivas para L. monocytogenes, havendo predomínio do sorogrupo 1/2a ou 3a (72,9%), seguido do sorogrupo 4b, 4d ou 4e (27,1%). Baseado nos resultados dos testes para caracterização fenotípica e genotípica, verificou-se que L. monocytogenes presente no produto final apresentou características semelhantes àquelas presentes na planta, e não no animal. Apenas uma cepa foi isolada na zona suja da Planta A, piso da seção de depenagem, e todas as demais foram isoladas da zona limpa de ambas as plantas.

Abstract in English
Brazil is the first exporter of chicken meat and the third producer of this kind of meat in the world. The consumption of this protein source in Brazil has been increasing, having passed from 23.2 Kg/inhabitant in 1995 to 35.5 Kg/inhabitant in 2005. The international market has become more demanding for safety of these products. Because of the importance of this food commodity to Brazilian economy and because of Listeria monocytogenes importance as a foodborne pathogen this study was conducted. The presence of the pathogen in two facilities, one with automatic evisceration (Plant A) and another with manual evisceration (Plant M), was evaluated to identify possible routes of microorganism dissemination in the processing line. From a total of 851 collected samples of products, food contact and non-food contact surfaces, workers' hands and water used in the process, 423 samples were from Plant A and 428 from Plant M. VIP® Listeria was used for the samples screening, positive ones were plated and suspected characteristic colonies submitted to biochemical characterization. Selected strains were submitted to identification and typing by molecular techniques (BAX® System, multiplex-PCR 16S rRNA, multiplex-PCR, ribotyping and PFGE). L. monocytogenes was isolated in 20.1% of the samples from Plant A with 61.6% belonging to serogroup 4b, 4d or 4e; 19.2% to serogroup 1/2a or 3a; 15.2% to serogroup 1/2c or 3c; and 4.0% to serogroup 1/2b, 3b or 7. From Plant M 16.4% of the samples were positive for L. monocytogenes, with predominance of serogroup 1/2a or 3a (72.9%) followed by serogroup 4b, 4d or 4e (27.1%). Based on the results of phenotypic and genotypic characterization, it was verified that L. monocytogenes present in the final product had similar characteristics to those isolated in the plant, and not in the animals. Only one strain was isolated in the dirty zone of Plant A, on the floor of defeathering section, and all others were isolated in the clean zone of both plants.
