چکیده
Background and Objective: Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic bacterium, commonly present in retail foods. Its enterotoxin-producing ability, short generation time, ability to grow at elevated temperatures, and spore-forming ability, allows it to survive in food-processing temperatures, and cause foodborne illness. The aim of study was to screen dehydrated vegetables contaminated with cpe and cpa carrying C.perfringens. Materials and Methods: This is descriptive-analytical study, was carried out on ۱۴۰ samples (۷۰ unpacked and ۷۰ packed) dehydrated vegetables collected from different areas of Tehran. Samples were inoculated on peptone and sulfite polymyxin sulfadiazine (SPS) agar for enrichment. The enrichment culture was then incubated on anaerobic condition for ۴۸ hours. The black colonies were selected for identification test and PCR. The bacterial colonies were identified by biochemical tests, and duplex PCR was performed for α-toxin (cpa) and enterotoxin (cpe) genes. Results: In general ۱۳ samples (۹.۳%) were identified as C. perfringens using phenotypic methods, all of the isolates were also positive for cpa but negative for cpe gene. The contamination rate for packed vegetables was ۱۲.۸% and for unpacked was ۵.۷%. Conclusion: Our finding showed that contamination of packed dehydrated vegetables was higher than unpacked; this might be due to drying as well as packaging process. We found that these isolates were negative for enterotoxin.کلیدواژه ها
