Abstract

Coliform tests were performed on 85 hide and 75 meat samples. IMViC reactions were determined on isolates from positive confirmed and fecal tests, and strains other than Escherichia coli were identified. Strains typed as Aerobacter aerogenes types I and II were identified as Enterobacter cloacae (51.4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.5%), Enterobacter aerogenes (15%), and Enterobacter liquefaciens, Serratia, and unidentified coliforms (12.1%). K. pneumoniae appeared to be responsible for less than 1% positive fecal tests.

Conversion of sucrose into isomaltulose by Enterobacter sp. FMB1, an isomaltulose-producing microorganism isolated from traditional Korean food.

Over 500 microorganisms isolated from Korean traditional foods, Maeju (source of soybean paste) and Nuruk (Korean koji), were screened to obtain an isomaltulose-producing microorganism. It was identified as Enterobacter sp. FMB-1 by 16S rRNA sequencing and the API 20E system. It had a greater than 90% conversion of sucrose (as 4 g/l) to isomaltulose in 2 days. Small amounts of trehalulose, glucose, and fructose were produced as byproducts, implying that this strain could be possibly employed in the production of isomaltulose in industry.

Exopolymeric production by bacterial strains isolated from activated sludge of paper industry.

The bacteria originated from the paper mill sludge were identified, isolated and cultured. Enterobacter (E) and Klebsiella (K) represented 70% of the culturable aerobic flora. Kinetics of EPS production in isolated culture and in arbitrary 1:1 mixture was investigated by high-pressure size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). In isolated culture, Enterobacter produced regularly and gradually during 24 h of culture, while Klebsiella produced the total amount of EPS already after 4 h without any changes later. The chromatographic profiles of the EPS production of the 1:1 mixture after 4, 8 and 24 h of culture could be fitted as a linear combination of the profiles of exopolymers produced by pure Enterobacter and Klebsiella strains. After 24 h of culture, Enterobacter was predominant in term of population (82%) and produced about 77% EPS amount, in spite of competition phenomena observed during culture.

Utility of the VITEK 2 Advanced Expert System for identification of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production in Enterobacter spp.

Forty clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. were identified as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers by disk diffusion. The VITEK 2 Advanced Expert System (AES) identified the ESBL phenotype in only 25 isolates (62.5%), and erroneously reported cephalosporin susceptibility in 11 isolates (28%). Refinements in the AES are required in order to improve ESBL detection in Enterobacter.
