Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of tetracycline resistance in lactobacilli isolated from traditional Serbian white brined raw milk cheeses (Homolje, Sjenica, Zlatar). Isolation of presumptive lactobacilli was initially performed using MRS-S agar without tetracycline, or supplemented with 16 and 64 µg/mL of tetracycline. Rep-PCR (GTG)5 genotyping showed a high diversity of the isolates obtained, as examination of 233 isolates resulted in 156 different Rep-PCR fingerprints. Ninety out of 156 (57.69%) of the strains, representatives with different (GTG)5 fingerprints, were identified by MALDI-TOF MS as lactobacilli, while 66 out of 156 (42.31%) strains were identified as members of other LAB genera. All except one out of 90 Lactobacillus isolates further tested by microdilution method, demonstrated unimodal distribution of tetracycline MIC values which were equal to or lower from the breakpoint MIC values (EFSA in EFSA J 10: 1-10, 2012. 10.2903/j.efsa.2012.2740). Only one Lb. paracasei isolate showed the presence of tet(M) gene, while the other analyzed tet genes [tet(A), tet(B), tet(C) tet(K), tet(L), tet(O) and tet(W)] were not detected in any of the isolates. The results of this study indicates that lactobacilli from traditional Serbian raw milk cheeses do not present considerable tetracycline resistance reservoirs. For final conclusions about the safety of these autochthonous cheeses regarding the possible tetracycline resistance transferability, the assessment of the entire cheese microbiota is needed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2019.
All research outputs
#3,223,327
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Food Science and Technology
#166
of 1,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#68,470
of 332,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Food Science and Technology
#3
of 117 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,452 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,026 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 117 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
