Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have caused numerous foodborne outbreaks. Compared with the most well-known STEC E. coli O157:H7, importance of non-O157 STEC has been underestimated and they have gained far less attention till increasing outbreaks recently. Using natural plant materials as antimicrobial agents is a heated area. Therefore in this study, Cinnamomum cassia, a widely used spice in cuisine, was tested for its antibacterial efficacy on CDC top six non-O157 STECs including O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed that the major component of C cassia oil was cinnamaldehyde (59.96%). The disk diffusion assay indicated that 20 mu L 4% (v/v) C cassia oil per disk resulted in inhibition zones of 15.0 mm, 18.5 mm, 15.7 mm, 19.3 mm, 18.8 mm, and 25.3 mm for O26:H11, O45:NM, O103:H2, O111:H2, O121:H19, and O145:NT, respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentration for all tested non-O157 STECs were 0.025% (v/v). Minimum bactericidal concentration was strain dependent, which was 0.05% (v/v) for O26:H11, O121:H19, O145:NT, while 0.1% (v/v) for O45:NM, O103:H2 and O111:H2. Growth kinetics showed that at the low inoculation of approximate 2.5 x 10(5) CFU/mL, C. cassia oil at the concentration of 0.01875% (v/v) completely inhibited the growth of O26:H11 and O145:NT for at least 24 h, and increased the duration of lag phase of O45:NM, O103:H2, O111:H2, O121:H19 by18, 12, 6, and 16 h, respectively. Including 0.025% (v/v) C. cassia oil completely inhibited the growth of all tested non-O157 STECs for at least 24 h. At high inoculation of 5 x 106 CFU/mL, inhibition effect of C. cassia oil decreased. Death curve showed that including as low as 0.05% (v/v) C cassia oil could kill non-O157 STECs. 0.1% (v/v) C. cassia oil showed bactericidal effects on all tested non-O157 STECs within 15 min. C cassia oil at the concentration of 0.15% (v/v) killed all O26:H11, O121:H19 and O145:NT within 30 min, while O45:NM, O103:H2 and O111:H2 at 120, 60, and 60 min, respectively. In conclusion, C cassia oil can effectively inhibit the growth of non-O157 STECs at concentration as low as 0.025% (v/v). Our data suggest that C cassia oil has the potential to be used as a natural antibacterial agent in food industry. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
