Fermentované masné výrobky jako potenciální zdroj Encephalitozoon cuniculi
VECKOVÁ, Tereza
This study describes the prevalence and burden of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in pork meat and evaluates the effect of fermentation in the production of sausages on E. cuniculi infectivity for immunedeficient (SCID) and immunocompetent (BALB/c and C57BL/6) mice. Using a nested polymerase chain reaction approach, 2 of 50 slaughter pigs was found to have E. cuniculi genotype II in meat in an amount 60-250 spores per 1 g. Under experimental conditions, E. cuniculi genotype II spores (3000 spores per 1 g) in meat remained infective for mice following fermentation treatments at 24 °C for 48 hrs and consumed within two weeks after production. Based on these findings, fermented meat products should be considered as a potential source of E. cuniculi infection in humans.
