Celik1, G.; Dikici, A.; Koluman, A.
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 log10 cfu/g). After incubation at 44oC (about 180 min), yogurt samples were capped and stored at 4oC 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 log10 cfu/g, respectively. A significant decrease was determined in all groups during the storage of yogurt samples at 4oC (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 log10 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.

Sushi is a popular traditional Japanese food in worldwide. This study was conducted to investigate the physical, chemical, sensory and microbiological quality of sushi sold in supermarket and restaurants. 300 sushi samples were purchased from 5 different popular restaurants (A, B, D, E, and F) and 1 supermarket (C). Four main types of sushi (California roll (CR), sesame roll (SMR), sake roll (SR), take roll (TR)) were chosen from each station. pH values of sushi rice samples were found to be all below 4.6. According to sensory overall quality of sushi samples, CR and SMR from station C had significantly the lowest values (p<0.05). Among the sushi samples, pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected in 25 g portion of any samples. Counts of total aerobic bacteria were high in stations A, B, D, E, and F (between 4.3-7 log CFU/g), except for station C (3.5 log CFU/g). Results for coliform counts showed similar trends as those of E. coli counts in samples. E. coli counts of all sushi types from all stations (except SMR, SR and TR from station D and SR from station E) exceeded the limit of acceptability (<100 MPN/g). Our finding may suggest a common presence of coliforms and E. coli in raw materials used in sushi preparation.
