Ev Yapım Ve Ticari Bebek Gıdalarının Mikrobiyolojik Kalitesi Ve Antibiyotik Direnci: Karşılaştırmalı Bir Ön Çalışma

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmada tamamlayıcı bebek beslenmesinde kullanılan, ticari ve ev koşullarında hazırlanmış bebek mamalarının mikrobiyolojik analizlerinin yapılması ve mamalardan izole edilen patojen bakterilerin antibiyotik direnç profillerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç Ve Yöntem: Hem ev yapımı hem de ticari olarak mevcut olan çeşitli bebek mamalarından örnekler alınmış ve standart mikrobiyolojik yöntemler kullanılarak mikrobiyal içerik ve elde edilen patojen izolatların antibiyotik direnç profilleri analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmada, ev yapımı bebek mamalarının ticari mamalara göre mikrobiyolojik kalitesinin daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bebek mamalarının mikrobiyolojik kalitesinin uzun süreli depolamanın sonunda önemli ölçüde etkilendiği gözlemlenmiştir. Özellikle, bazı örneklerde çoklu antibiyotik direncine sahip patojen bakterilerin varlığı tespit edilmiştir, bu da bebekler için potansiyel sağlık risklerini göstermektedir. Sonuç: Çalışma, bebek mamalarının hazırlanması ve seçiminde mikrobiyolojik güvenliğin önemini ayrıca ortaya çıkan çoklu antibiyotik direnç verileri göz önüne alınarak daha iyi bir farkındalık ile standartların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

Microbiological Quality and Antibiotic Resistance of Home-made and Commercial Complementary Foods: A Comparative Pilot Study

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to perform microbiological analyses of commercial and homemade infant formulas used in complementary infant feeding and to determine the antibiotic resistance profiles of pathogenic bacteria isolated from these formulas. Materials and Methods: Samples were taken from various homemade and commercially available infant formulas. The microbial content and antibiotic resistance profiles of the isolated pathogenic strains were analyzed using standard microbiological methods. Results: The study found that the microbiological quality of homemade infant formulas was lower compared to commercial formulas. It was observed that the microbiological quality of infant formulas was significantly affected by prolonged storage. Notably, the presence of pathogenic bacteria with multiple antibiotic resistances was detected in some samples, indicating potential health risks for infants. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of microbiological safety in the preparation and selection of infant formulas. Additionally, the emergence of multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria underscores the necessity for increased awareness and the establishment of stringent standards.
