[Enterococci and coliforms in yellow sheep's milk cheese]. 1979

V Aleksieva

Ninety-two samples of sheep milk yellow cheese were investigated 30 and 180 days after its production. The content of enterococci varied within a wide range--from 100 to 1,9 million per g. In 14.28% of the samples more than 10 000 enterococci per g were found. No correlation between salt content, acidity and pH and number of enterococci in the yellow cheese samples studied as well as between quantity of enterococci, period of cheese ripening and storage and the organoleptic evaluation of the product's ripeness was established. In 100% of the samples studied coli titer was above 0.1. Of the 137 differentiated enterococci strains 67.1% belonged to the species Str. durans, while 32.8%--to Str. faecium.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002611	Cheese	A nutritious food consisting primarily of the curd or the semisolid substance formed when milk coagulates.	Cheeses
D004755	Enterobacteriaceae	A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock.	Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D005516	Food Microbiology	The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in food and food products. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms: the presence of various non-pathogenic bacteria and fungi in cheeses and wines, for example, is included in this concept.	Microbiology, Food
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
