Effect of ginger essential oil and 6-gingerol on a multispecies biofilm of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential antimicrobial and antibiofilm effect of ginger essential oil (GEO) and 6-gingerol on a multispecies biofilm formed by Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on a polypropylene surface. The minimum inhibitory concentration concentrations obtained for GEO were 100 and 50 mg/mL and for 6-gingerol 1.25 mg/mL. Sessile cell counts ranged within 5.35-7.35 log CFU/cm² in the control biofilm, with the highest sessile growth at 72 h. GEO treatments acted on the total population regardless of concentration at 1 and 48 h. L. monocytogenes behaved similarly to the total population, showing GEO action at 1 h and keeping the same pattern at 48, 72, and 96 h. Better action on S. Typhimurium was obtained at times of 1, 72, and 96 h. P. aeruginosa showed logarithmic reduction only when treated with GEO 50 mg at 24 h. As for 6-gingerol, in general, there was no significant action (p > 0.05) on the evaluated sessile cells. GEO showed antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium, and P. aeruginosa, acting as an inhibitor of biofilm formation. As for 6-gingerol, it was considered a possible antimicrobial agent but without efficacy during biofilm formation.

Project description:The application of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) for decontamination of sliced ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products (in this case, rolled fillets of ham), inoculated with Salmonella (S.) Typhimurium and Listeria (L.) monocytogenes was investigated. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is an ionised gas that includes highly reactive species and ozone, interacting with cell membranes and DNA of bacteria. The mode of action of CAPs includes penetration and disruption of the outer cell membrane or intracellular destruction of DNA located in the cytoplasm. Inoculated ham was treated for 10 and 20 min with CAP generated by a surface-micro-discharge-plasma source using cost-effective ambient air as working gas with different humidity levels of 45-50 and 90%. The chosen plasma modes had a peak-to-peak voltage of 6.4 or 10 kV and a frequency of 2 and 10 kHz. Under the tested conditions, the direct effectiveness of CAP on microbial inactivation was limited. Although all treated samples showed significant reductions in the microbial load subsequent to plasma treatment, the maximum inactivation of S. Typhimurium was 1.14 lg steps after 20 min of CAP-treatment (p<0.05), and L. monocytogenes was reduced by 1.02 lg steps (p<0.05) using high peak-to-peak voltage of 10 kV and a frequency of 2 kHz regardless of moisture content. However, effective inactivation was achieved by a combination of CAP-treatment and cold storage at 8°C ± 0.5°C for 7 and 14 days after packaging under sealed high nitrogen gas flush (70% N2, 30% CO2). Synergistic effects of CAP and cold storage for 14 days led to a clearer decrease in the microbial load of 1.84 lg steps for S. Typhimurium (p<0.05) and 2.55 lg steps for L. monocytogenes (p<0.05). In the case of L. monocytogenes, subsequent to CAP-treatment (10 kV, 2 kHz) and cold storage, microbial counts were predominantly below the detection limit. Measurement showed that after CAP-treatment, surface temperature of ham did not exceed the room temperature of 22°C ± 2°C. With the application of humidity levels of 45-50%, the colour distance ΔE increased in CAP treated samples due to a decrease in L* values. In conclusion, effectiveness of CAP-treatment was limited. However, the combination of CAP-treatment and cold storage of samples under modified-atmospheric-conditions up to 14 days could significantly reduce microorganisms on RTE ham. Further investigations are required to improve effectiveness of CAP-treatment.

Project description:Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is a promising novel method for biofilm inactivation as log-reduction values up to 4.0 log10 (CFU/cm2) have been reported. Nevertheless, as the efficacy of CAP itself is not sufficient for complete inactivation of mature biofilms, the hurdle technology could be applied in order to obtain higher combined efficacies. In this study, CAP treatment was combined with a mild hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment for disinfection of 1 and 7 day(s) old Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium biofilms. Three different treatment sequences were investigated in order to determine the most effective treatment sequence, i.e., (i) first CAP, then H2O2, (ii) first H2O2, then CAP, and (iii) a simultaneous treatment of CAP and H2O2. Removal of the biofilm, induction of sub-lethal injury, and H2O2 breakdown due to the presence of catalase within the biofilms were investigated in order to comment on their possible contribution to the combined inactivation efficacy. Results indicated that the preferred treatment sequence was dependent on the biofilm forming species, biofilm age, and applied H2O2 concentration [0.05 or 0.20% (v/v)]. At the lowest H2O2 concentration, the highest log-reductions were generally observed if the CAP treatment was preceded by the H2O2 treatment, while at the highest H2O2 concentration, the opposite sequence (first CAP, then H2O2) proved to be more effective. Induction of sub-lethal injury contributed to the combined bactericidal effect, while the presence of catalase within the biofilms resulted in an increased resistance. In addition, high log-reductions were partially the result of biofilm removal. The highest overall log-reductions [i.e., up to 5.42 ± 0.33 log10 (CFU/cm2)] were obtained at the highest H2O2 concentration if CAP treatment was followed by H2O2 treatment. As this resulted in almost complete inactivation of the L. monocytogenes and S. Typhimurium biofilms, the combined treatment of CAP and H2O2 proved to be a promising method for disinfection of abiotic surfaces.
