Abstract in Portuguese
O estufamento de embalagens a vácuo de carnes refrigeradas, também conhecido como blown pack, é atribuído a bactérias psicrófilas e psicrotróficas, dentre as quais fazem parte algumas espécies de clostrídios, enterobactérias e bactérias lácticas. A capacidade desses microrganismos crescer em temperaturas de refrigeração adequadas torna um desafio o seu controle pela indústria. O Brasil é um dos grandes produtores de carne bovina no mundo e apesar da importância que a indústria de carne representa para o país, existem poucos estudos sobre as possíveis causas da deterioração do tipo blown pack. A importância deste trabalho fundamenta-se na escassez de pesquisas sobre esse problema que afeta a indústria de carne. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a presença dos principais microrganismos envolvidos na deterioração tipo blown pack, com ênfase em clostrídios, enterobactérias e bactérias láticas. Assim, o método Terminal- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, disponível no laboratório de Biologia Molecular do CENA-USP, foi empregado por permitir um diagnóstico rápido e preciso para detecção de microrganismos. Foram analisadas 15 amostras de carne bovinas refrigeradas, embaladas a vácuo e estufadas, provenientes de frigoríficos dos estados de São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul e Goiás. Os cortes utilizados para as análises foram contrafilé, músculo, alcatra, cupim, picanha e filé de costela. As amostras apresentavam características de deterioração tipo blown pack dentro da data de validade, com períodos armazenamento variando de 30 a 120 dias. Foram identificadas as espécies Clostridium algidicarnis, Clostridium gasigenes, Clostridium putrefaciens, Clostridium frigidicarnis, Lactobacillus sakei, Hafnia alvei e Serratia liquefaciens pela técnica T-RFLP, que se mostrou uma excelente ferramenta de identificação microbiana nas amostras de carne. Devido à alta prevalência de enterobactérias nas amostras de carnes detectadas pela técnica de T-RFLP, foram realizadas análises convencionais com isolamento e identificação de enterobactérias, a fim de confirmar a presença destes microrganismos viáveis e cultiváveis nas amostras. As espécies de enterobactérias cultivadas e identificadas foram H. alvei, Ser. liquefaciens, Citrobacter braakii, Pantoea sp e Yersinia enterocolitica, sendo esta última potencialmente patogênica e de interesse em saúde pública. Observou-se que a H. alvei foi a espécie predominante nas amostras avaliadas, tanto pela técnica de T-RFLP como pelas análises microbiológicas convencionais. Com o objetivo de complementar os resultados, foram realizadas análises convencionais de cultivo visando o isolamento de Clostridium estertheticum e Clostridium gasigenes nas amostras de carne. A técnica de PCR foi empregada com a finalidade de identificação dos isolados obtidos.

Abstract in English
The distension of the packaging of vacuum packed chilled meat, also know as blown pack, is assigned to psichrophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria, among which are part some clostridium, enterobacteria and lactic bacteria.The ability of these microorganisms to grow at refrigeration temperatures makes it an appropriate challenge its control by the industry. Brazil is a major producer of beef in the world and despite the importance of the beef industry represents for the country, there are few studies on the possible causes of deterioration of blown pack type. The importance of this work is based on the dearth of research on this problem that affects the meat industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of the main microorganisms involved in the deterioration blown pack type, with emphasis on clostridia, enterobacteria and lactic bacteria. Thus, the method-Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, available at Molecular biology laboratory of CENA-USP, was used to allow a rapid and accurate diagnosis for the detection of microorganisms. We analyzed 15 samples of beef chilled, vacuum packed wich abundant gas production, refrigerators from the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás cuts used for the analysis were striploin, shin, rump, hump, cop of rump and cube roll. The samples showing signs of deterioration such blown pack within the shelf life, with storage periods ranging from 30 to 120 days. Were identified Clostridium algidicarnis, Clostridium gasigenes, Clostridium putrefaciens, Clostridium frigidicarnis, Lactobacillus sakei, Hafnia alvei and Serratia liquefaciens by TRFLP technique, which proved an excellent tool for microbial identification in meat samples. The high prevalence of enterobacteria in samples of meat detected by the technique of TRFLP analysis was performed with conventional isolation and identification of enterobacteria, in order to confirm the presence of viable and culturable microorganisms in the samples. The species of enterobacteria were identified and cultivated H. alvei, Ser. liquefaciens, Citrobacter braakii, Pantoea sp. and Yersinia enterocolitica, the latter being potentially pathogenic and interest in public health. It was observed that H. alvei was the predominant species in the samples evaluated by both the T-RFLP technique and by conventional microbiological tests. In order to complement the results were analyzed conventional cultivation and isolation of Clostridium estertheticum and Clostridium gasigenes in meat samples. The PCR technique was employed for the purpose of identification of isolates.
