Evaluation of biofilm production capacity and detection of enzyme KPC Salmonella spp. isolated from aviary and slaughter line of chicken According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2013), the world consumption of meat of chicken has been higher significantly in the last decades. On the other hand, the concern of the food producers with the safety of their products also has increased in the same proportion. During the steps of the slaughter operation in general, cross contamination are the main causes of pathogenic microorganisms dissemination in the obtained products and the causes of gastroenteritis in the consumer. Species of the Enterobacter Salmonella fall as the highest risks of this kind of disease, due to their association with countless outbreaks which occurred worldwide, after the consumption of these products. Some enterobacter have a blaKPC gene, which codes for the carbapenemase enzyme that confers resistance to carbapenems antibiotics, aggravating the situation. Some virulence factors found in this bacteria genes can also be associated to the ability of adherence and the formation of biofilms in inert surfaces, making it difficult the operations of sanitation in the processing lines. Thus, the present research aimed to verify the capacity of Salmonella spp. strains isolated from aviary and slaughter line of chicken in a fridge of Rio Grande do Sul state to produce biofilms and be resistant to carbapenems antibiotics. In the evaluation of biofilm production, it was used the polyethylene microplates and capsule production technique according to Stepanovic et al. (2004) and Rodrigues et al. (2006), respectively. The virulence factors of salmonella were researched, represented by the genes IpfA, agfA, sefA, invA, hilA, avrA, sopE, sivH,e spvC, using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method described by Borges et al. (2013). The lineages were submitted to the carbapenems antibiotic resistence test by the disk diffusion method with carbapenems according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute-CLSI (2010), and the research of the resistance to carbapenems gene blaKCP, by the strains Salmonella spp.: profile 1: genes ifpA, agfA, invA and avrA.; profile 2: genes ifpA, agfA, sefA, invA and avrA; profile 3: genes invA and avrA; profile 4: genes ifpA, agfA and invA. It was observed the resistance of the strains only to the imipenen antibiotic. Among the other 36 cultures of Salmonella spp. isolated, all were considered to produce biofilm in vitro, of which 69% were strong producers, 25% moderate, and only 6% were low producers. The method Congo Red Agar was not efficient to the presumptive test of biofilm production for the Salmonella spp. strains. It was not evidenced the gene blaKPC in Salmonella spp. strains isolates in this research.
