Prevalence, Genetic Diversity, and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) Isolated from Sunshik, Its Ingredients and Soils

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The prevalence, genetic diversity, and antibiotic susceptibility of Cronobacter species (Enterobacter sakazakii) isolated from sunshik products, its ingredients,and root vegetable farm’s soils were investigated to analyze main reservoirs and contaminated sources of Cronobacter spp. Cronobacter spp. was isolated from 9 of 15 sunshik products, 26 of 72 its ingredients, and 2 of 39soils. The root vegetables such as sweet potato and carrot showed higher contamination rate (70%) than the other sunshik ingredients. All isolates showed 929 bp band amplified from 16S rRNA and resistant to ampicillin,amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and cefazolin. All isolates showed diverse random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) band patterns. However, 3 cases of RAPD banding patterns between clinical strains and isolates from sunshik products and root vegetables (yam, carrot) were related with similarities level of 80%. These studies indicated that root vegetables can be an important contamination source of Cronobacter spp. in sunshik products. Thus, the preparation of root vegetables for manufacturing sunshik products used as a weaning diet was handled with more care than the other sunshik ingredients.
