Sanitary conditions of sponges used in a food and nutrition unit of Fortaleza, Brazil

View through CrossRef
Esponjas usadas na higiene dos utensílios nas cozinhas das Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição (UAN) podem transferir quantidades suficientes de micro-organismos para os alimentos, uma vez que elas entram em contato com diversos utensílios e equipamentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a contaminação microbiológica de esponjas utilizadas em serviços de alimentação. Neste estudo, 10 esponjas foram coletadas em 10 UANs e posteriormente transferidas para o laboratório, onde foi realizada a análise dos micro-organismos coliformes fecais, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e Salmonella sp. Das 10 avaliadas, 60% (n=6) estavam contaminadas com coliformes fecais e todas as esponjas que apresentaram contaminação tinham entre quatro e seis dias de uso. Já nas pesquisas para Staphylococcus e Salmonella sp., todos os resultados foram negativos. Conclui-se que contaminação pode ser de origem fecal. Sendo assim, é necessário um controle mais eficaz no treinamento e na supervisão das condições de higiene dos manipuladores nas UANs para evitar a disseminação dos surtos de doenças transmitidas por alimentos (DTAs).
