Detección de enterotoxinas en especies Staphylococcus coagulasa negativos aislados de muestras de leche bovina

Abstract

Ante el potencial peligro que representa para la salud pública la presencia de enterotoxinas estafilocócicas termoestables en productos lácteos, surgió la necesidad de investigar la potencial habilidad de producir estas toxinas por diferentes especies de Staphylococcus coagulasa negativos (SCN) aislados en leche bovina. Estas bacterias, que están adquiriendo cada vez mayor participación en las infecciones de los rebaños, producen varios factores de virulencia, entre ellos, enterotoxinas, y crecimiento en biofilm, lo cual contribuye a su permanencia en el sector productivo por dificultar la acción de agentes sanitizantes y desinfectantes. Dado que es esencial la correcta identificación de las especies estafilocócicas para un diagnóstico y tratamiento eficaz, este trabajo tuvo entre sus objetivos, la identificación genotípica de los aislamientos por análisis de PCR-RFLP del gen gap. La comparación de este método y la técnica considerada como prueba definitiva de identificación de especie basada en perfiles proteicos, MALDI-TOF MS, permitieron considerar al primero como confiable para la identificación de especie de los aislamientos de SCN con un 93,9% de coincidencia Sobre los factores de virulencia de SCN, se investigó, presencia de genes de enterotoxinas y capacidad fenotípica de formar biofilm, para luego determinar el grado de asociación entre ambas. Se obtuvo un importante número de cepas productoras de enterotoxinas (78,1%). Entre los genes encontrados, el gen sea fue el más prevalente, presente en cuarenta y siete de las 96 cepas (48,9%). En cuanto a la capacidad fenotípica de formación de biofilm, la mayoría (92,7%), ochenta y nueve de los 96 aislamientos analizados, presentaron esta habilidad. Es interesante destacar que el 60,4%, (58/96), resultaron fuertes formadores. La habilidad de producir biofilm por diferentes especies de SCN con presencia de genes para enterotoxinas remarca el riesgo potencial de la persistencia de estas bacterias en el ambiente de procesamiento de alimentos. Dado que las toxinas estafilocócicas permanecen en los productos aun luego del proceso térmico, los resultados obtenidos en este estudio valorizan la importancia de contar con estrictos programas de higiene que aseguren las prácticas de ordeño y la salud animal, y de este modo se ayude a preservar la salud del consumidor.

Due to the potential danger to the public health posed by staphylococcal thermostable enterotoxins in dairy products, the need arose to investigate the potential ability to produce these toxins by different coagulase negative Staphylococcus species (CNS) isolated in bovine milk. These bacteria, which are becoming increasingly involved in herd infections, produce several virulence factors, including enterotoxins, and biofilm forming, which contributes to their permanence in the dairy sector by hindering the action of sanitizing agents and disinfectants. Given that the correct identification of staphylococcal species is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment, this work had among its objectives the genotypic identification of the isolates by PCR-RFLP analysis of the gap gene. The comparison of this method and the technique considered as definitive proof of species identification based on protein profiles, MALDI-TOF MS, allowed the former to be considered reliable for the identification of species of CNS isolates with a 93.9% coincidence. Regarding the virulence factors of SCN, the presence of enterotoxin genes and the phenotypic capacity to form biofilm were investigated, in order to later determine the association between both. An important number of enterotoxin-producing strains was obtained (78.1%). Among the genes found, the gene was the most prevalent, present in forty-seven of the 96 strains (48.9%). Regarding the phenotypic capacity of biofilm formation, the majority (92.7%), eighty nine of the 96 isolates analyzed, showed this ability. It is interesting to note that 60.4% (58/96) were strong formers. The ability to produce biofilm by different species of SCN with the presence of enterotoxins genes, highlights the potential risk of persistence of these bacteria in the food processing environment. Since the staphylococcal toxins remain in the products even after the thermal process, the results obtained in this study value the importance of having strict hygiene programs that ensure milking practices and animal health, and in this way help preserve consumer's health.
