Date: 2025-12-04Read: 1
new versionGB 4789.9-2025 National Food Safety Standard Microbiological Examination of Food - Examination of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coliIt will be officially implemented in March 2026. The update of this standard marks a new stage of more precise and efficient monitoring and control of curved bacteria in China.To help you quickly grasp the key points of the new regulations and smoothly complete the testing upgradeThis article will provide you withClarify the core differences between the old and new versions to help you quickly grasp the key points.
Quick overview of core changes
From 'single' to 'double inspection', from 'traditional' to 'precise'
Expanded detection range: more comprehensive coverage
Old standard:Examination of Campylobacter jejuni.
New standards:expand toCampylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coliInspection meets more complex and comprehensive food safety inspection needs, with a wider range of application scenarios.
Optimization of inspection program:
Stronger selectivity and higher sensitivity
(1) Sample pre-treatment
Old standard:Some samples (general samples, shellfish, egg yolk liquid or egg slurry) are directly homogenized/mixed in selective enrichment solution (Bolton broth), with two-step enrichment at 36 ℃ and 42 ℃.
New standards:Use 0.1% peptone waterRinse, homogenize, centrifuge and enrichTake the sediment suspension and add it to the bacterial growth solution,Cultivate at 42 ℃ for 24 hours under microaerophilic conditions for one-step bacterial growth.
(2) Separation and Purification
Old standard:After bacterial growthDirect line vaccination(Inoculate the 24-hour and 48h cultures and 1:50 dilution separately onto Skirrow blood agar and mCCDA agar plates).
New standards:After adding bacteria, useMembrane culture methodSeparate and utilize the special mobility of curved bacteria to effectively reduce interference from miscellaneous bacteria and improve the detection rate of target bacteria.
Improvement of culture medium:
Selective enhancement, focusing on recovery and protection
Old standard:Bolton broth, modified CCD agar (mCCDA), Skirrow blood agar, Brucella broth.
New standards:Delete the above content and replace with Campylobacter enrichment solution and Kamali blood agar.And the formula of the culture medium was optimized,Better inhibition of bacterial growthMore emphasis is placed on adding to the culture mediumResuscitation enhancing ingredients (such as blood, activated carbon, etc.)Reduce bacterial death caused by oxidative stress and other factors during the inspection process, and improve the detection rate.
Upgrading of appraisal technology:
More advanced methods and more accurate results
(1) Identification of the genus Campylobacter
Old standard (5 tests):Identification will be carried out by combining morphological observation, dynamic observation, oxidase test, microaerophilic growth test at 25 ℃± 1 ℃, and aerobic growth test at 42 ℃± 1 ℃;
New standard (3 trials):Delete power observationCombined withMorphological observation, oxidase test, aerobic 25 ℃± 1 ℃ growth testConduct identification.
(2) Identification of Campylobacter jejuni
Old standard:Relying on traditional biochemical experiments(Catalase, Sodium hippurate hydrolysis, Indoleacetate hydrolysis test)/Microbial biochemical identification system for identification.
New standards:On the basis of the original biochemical experiment,addreal-time pcrandMatrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)As a confirmation method. Significantly improved identificationAccuracy, specificity, and efficiencyThis provides strong technical support for the traceability of bacterial strains.
