Laboratory Investigation of food-borne disease – (some components only!)
• Food ! maceration & resuscitation in BPW (resuscitation = ...................................?)
• Food suspension ! possibly plate directly to selective and differential agars (“food agars”) – to grow pathogen and suppress non-pathogens; or differentiate these
– PEMBA; Baird-Parker; MSA; XLD; SSA; BSA; MAC; TCBS; TSC; Oxford; (poss. HBA)
– (QC all these agars with appropriate reference strains – to ensure agars working properly)
• Food suspension ! enrichment (grow pathogen; suppress other orgs)
– alkaline peptone water (APW) enrich Vibrio spp. and Aeromonas spp.
– mannitol cysteine selenite broth (MCSB) enrich Salmonella spp. and most Shigella spp.
– (? cold enrich for Listeria monocytogenes )
• Plate enrichment broths! selective and differential agars for growth
– alkaline peptone water (APW)! TCBS (HBA)
– mannitol cysteine selenite broth (MCSB)! XLD; BSA; MAC; SSA (HBA)
• Read plates and count/follow-up suspicious colonies:
– Rapid tests – Gram, catalase and oxidase
– Latex coagulase on suspicious staphylococci – s/c suspicious colonies to HBA back-up cultures (with O129 disk for poss. Vibrio spp.)
• Identification and confirmatory testing:
– Biochemical ID (API strips or biochem bottles); lipid/spore stain for .........; tube coag for .........
– O (LPS) and H (flagella) serogrouping for Salmonella isolates
• Refer isolates to reference lab:
– for strain typing – to show if outbreak strains are related or not & for epidemiological tracking
Epidemiological investigation in outbreaks (some points only!):
• Coordinationbetween:
– Food lab – isolates bacterial and viral pathogens from food
– Clinical lab – isolates pathogens from patients
– Public Health Unit (PHU) – investigates, traces patients and coordinates
– NSW Food Authority – inspects and prosecutes
• Inspection of suspect premises
– swabs and sampling for Food Lab investigation
• Questionnaire
– for cases and controls involved in the outbreak
• Questionnaire data: – Epidemic Curve
• Point source vs intermittent/recurrent transmission
• Food intoxication vs food infection
– Food Attack Table
• for statistics
– Chi-squared test
• “association” or “dependency” between factor and outcome (or lack thereof)
• (or, is there an over-association between the two beyond that predicted by random chance)
– Odds Ratio and CI
• magnitude of risk for outcome attributable to a factor, compared to its absence
• (or, how much does eating the food increase disease risk, compared to not eating it?)

Disinfectant testing
Points –Category A test: kill over 8 minutes for 2 inoculums added at 0 & 10 min.“Hospital Grade” disinfectant
Category C test: kill over 8 min. for 1 inoculum
Organisms: standard reference strains of relevant pathogens
Inoculum: 2 x 108 – 2 x 109 cfu/ml
Pass criteria: – growth in no more than 3 of 5 recovery tubes inoc.with 0.02ml each
– passes as above on repeat testing over 3 consecutive days
Controls: Sterility control (recovery broth)Sterility control (disinfectant)Viability of organisms controlDisinfectant inactivator control
Initial pre-clean increases disinfectant efficacy as biological material inhibits disinfectants
Water & Food Faecal coliform Quality Testing
Rationale of “indicator organisms” – what are they and how chosen?
Plate counts for total heterotroph numbers
R2A agar: better for enviro oligotrophs and injured/damaged bacteria. Low nutrientTSA and PCA plates: for standard heterotrophs
Membrane filtration of water for total orgs., and total & faecal coliformsTotal count: if high indicative of high [nutrient]? – if so why; & what orgs present
volumes handledusing M-Endo plates for presumptive coliforms and faecal coliforms on membranesconfirmatory EMB + indole for faecal coliforms
MPN for water and foods (for faecal Escherichia coli )
LT (lauryl (SDS) tryptone/gas) as selective and presumptive for coliformsEC as more selective for faecal E. coli (inhibitory formulation; temp. 44#C)Confirmation via EMB appearance and indole
Consider permissible numbers of faecal coliforms, concept of "indicators", use of faecalEnterococci , and time req'd for testing
