Resumen
La resistencia bacteriana sobre distintos antimicrobianos, tales como biocidas o
antibióticos, conlleva una gran amenaza para la seguridad alimentaria. Este es uno de
los mayores problemas que crece a diario y el mayor número de la población en España
no es consciente de ello. Los últimos datos hablan del fallecimiento de unas 35.000
personas, según denuncia la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y
Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC). Las bacterias resistentes pueden provocar diversas
infecciones tanto en humanos como animales y supone un gran reto pode combatir
contra ellas, dada la resistencia que pueden llegar a presentar a un elevado número de
antibióticos diferentes. Durante el presente estudio, se aislaron bacterias resistentes a
diferentes antibióticos procedentes de alimentos encurtidos, tales como pepinillos,
aceitunas o berenjenas. Posteriormente se identificaron mediante PCR y además, se
llevaron a cabo ensayos de resistencia de las colonias seleccionadas frente a distintos
biocidas.
Bacterial resistance to different antimicrobials, such as biocides or antibiotics, poses a great threat to food safety. This is one of the biggest problems that grows daily and the largest number of the population in Spain is not aware of it. The latest data speak of the death of some 35,000 people, as reported by the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC). Resistant bacteria can cause various infections in both humans and animals and is a great challenge to combat against them, given the resistance that can come to present a high number of different antibiotics. During the present study, bacteria resistant to different antibiotics were isolated from pickled foods, such as pickles, olives or aubergines. Subsequently, they were identified by PCR and, in addition, resistance tests of the selected colonies were carried out against different biocides.
