A simple, novel method for determining stress-adaptive response of Listeria monocytogenes in food systems is presented. The method involves plating samples on Listeria-selective agar (LSA) acidified to pH 5.25 with incubation at 36 degrees C for 60 h to detect acid adaptation and plating on LSA with 70 gl-1 NaCl and incubation at 7 degrees C for 7 d to detect cold-osmotic adaptation. Adapted cells produced larger colonies (> 1 mm) under these conditions than unadapted cells. Scot A (97%) and Brie-1 (100%) cells incubated in milk at pH 5 for 3 h manifested the acid-adapted colony type compared with 6% and 21% of viable cells in the unstressed control population. After a 5-d adaptation period at 4 degrees C in milk with 80 gl-1 salt, 29% of Scot A and 91% of Brie-1 viable cells exhibited the adapted colony type compared with < 1% of the unstressed control population. Stress-adapted L. monocytogenes were isolated from soft cheese held for 42 d at 10 C. 相似文献

A novel real-time PCR-based method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
AIMS: A new real-time PCR-based method was developed for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food. METHODS AND RESULTS: A two-step enrichment involving a 24-h incubation in half-Fraser broth followed by a 6-h subculture in Fraser broth was used, followed by cell lysis and real-time PCR with primers and a TaqMan probe previously developed in our laboratory. When the method was evaluated with 144 naturally contaminated food samples, 44 were detected as positive by the PCR-based method and 42 by the standard method EN ISO 11290-1. With 61 food samples artificially contaminated at a level of 10(0) CFU per 25 g, 61 and 58 positive samples were detected by the respective methods. CONCLUSIONS: The developed real-time PCR-based method facilitated the detection of L. monocytogenes in food on the next day after the sample reception, with a reduction of false-positive results because of dead bacterial cells and false-negative results because of PCR inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method can be used for L. monocytogenes detection in food as a faster alternative to current methods. 相似文献

Aims: Detectability of Listeria monocytogenes at 100 CFU per food sample in the presence of Listeria innocua using standard microbiological detection was evaluated and compared with the real‐time PCR‐based method. Methods and Results: Enrichment in half‐Fraser broth followed by subculture in Fraser broth according to EN ISO 11290‐1 was used. False‐negative detection of 100 CFU L. monocytogenes was obtained in the presence of 101 CFU L. innocua per sample using the standard detection method in contrast to more than 105 CFU L. innocua per sample using real‐time PCR. Identification of L. monocytogenes on the chromogenic medium by the standard procedure was impossible if L. innocua was able to overgrow L. monocytogenes by more than three orders of magnitude after the enrichment in model samples. These results were confirmed using naturally contaminated food samples. Conclusions: Standard microbiological method was insufficient for the reliable detection of 100 CFU L. monocytogenes in the presence of more than 100 CFU of L. innocua per sample. On the other hand, if the growth of L. monocytogenes was sufficient to reach the concentration equal to the detection limit of PCR, the amount of the other microflora present in the food sample including L. innocua was not relevant for success of the PCR detection of L. monocytogenes. Significance and Impact of the Study: After the enrichment, the PCR detection is more convenient than the standard one as PCR detection is not compromised by other present microflora. 相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen responsible for non-invasive and invasive diseases in the elderly, pregnant women, neonates and immunocompromised populations. This bacterium has many similarities with other non-pathogenic Listeria species which makes its detection from food and environmental samples challenging. Subtyping of L. monocytogenes strains can prove to be crucial in epidemiological investigations, source tracking contamination from food processing plants and determining evolutionary relationships between different strains. In recent years there has been a shift towards the use of molecular subtyping. This has led to the development of new subtyping techniques such as multi-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and multi-locus sequence based typing (MLST). This review focuses on the available methods for Listeria detection including immuno-based techniques and the more recently developed molecular methods and analytical techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight based mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). It also includes a comparison and critical analysis of the available phenotypic and genotypic subtyping techniques that have been investigated for L. monocytogenes. 相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is an emerging bacterial foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis, an illness characterized by meningitis, encephalitis, and septicaemia. Less commonly, infection can result in cutaneous lesions and flu-like symptoms. In pregnant women, the pathogen can cause bacteraemia, and stillbirth or premature birth of the fetus. The mortality rate for those contracting listeriosis is approximately 20%. Currently, the United States has a zero tolerance policy regarding the presence of L. monocytogenes in food, while Canada allows only 100 cfu/g of food. As such, it is essential to be able to detect the pathogen in low numbers in food samples. One of the best ways to detect and confirm the pathogen is through the detection of one of the virulence factors, listeriolysin O (LLO) produced by the microorganism. The LLO-encoding gene (hlyA) is present only in virulent strains of the species and is required for virulence. LLO is a secreted protein toxin that can be detected easily with the use of blood agar or haemolysis assays and it is well characterized and understood. This paper focuses on some of the common methods used to detect the pathogen and the LLO toxin in food products and comments on some of the potential uses and drawbacks for the food industry. 相似文献

AIMS: This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence and lineages of Listeria monocytogenes in different kinds of food products in local Chinese markets. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 2686 food samples and 645 water samples were collected and L. monocytogenes was isolated from 2.28% (76 of 3331) of all samples. The prevalence of L. monocytogenes (14 of 290, 4.83%) in raw meat products was significantly higher than that in other raw food products (P < 0.05). Among 844 ready-to-eat (RTE) food samples, 21 samples were positive for L. monocytogenes. RTE packaged food products from two supermarkets had a prevalence ranging from 0.00% to 25.00%. The prevalence of L. monocytogenes in meat products of freshly slaughtered hogs was 0.95% (four of 420), significantly lower than that in raw meat products in the retail markets (P < 0.05). Ten isolates were recovered from 645 water samples, which were collected after hands washing by shopkeepers or waiters. A total of 38 isolates were randomly selected for lineage classification based on the nucleotide variation of actA gene. Eighty percentage of isolates from RTE food products belonged to Lineage II while only 20% belonged to Lineage I. CONCLUSIONS: Food products in Chinese markets are contaminated with L. monocytogenes. Raw meat products have the highest contamination rates among all the raw food samples. RTE food products are more likely to be contaminated with Lineage II strains. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The data presented here show the main contamination sources of L. monocytogenes in Chinese food products. 相似文献

Stationary-phase cells of Listeria monocytogenes grown in glucose-free or glucose-containing media were exposed for 90 min to various stresses, including acid stress (pH 4.0 to 7.0), osmotic stress (10.5 to 20.5% NaCl), and various temperatures (-5 to 50 degrees C), and were further exposed to pH 3.5. Exposure to a mildly acidic (pH 5.0 to 6.0) environment provided protection of the pathogen against acid upon subsequent exposure. This adaptive response, however, was found to be strongly dependent on other environmental conditions during the shock, such as temperature or the simultaneous presence of a second stress factor (NaCl). Growth of L. monocytogenes in the presence of glucose resulted in enhanced survival of the pathogen at pH 3.5. Sublethal stresses other than acidic stresses, i.e., osmotic, heat, and low-temperature stresses, did not affect the acid resistance of L. monocytogenes (P > 0.5). More-severe levels of these stresses, however, resulted in sensitization of the pathogen to acid. 相似文献

Nineteen Listeria monocytogenes strains were characterized by automated ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and plasmid profiling to determine the relationship between genotype and sanitizer resistance. Isolates within a ribogroup had a consistent sensitivity or resistance phenotype except for ribogroup C isolates. All isolates with resistance phenotypes harbored two plasmids. The sensitivity of L. monocytogenes strains to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) was correlated with sensitivity to sanitizers and antibiotics with other modes of action. All isolates tested contained the mdrL gene, which encodes an efflux pump that confers resistance to QACs and is both chromosome and plasmid borne. 相似文献

A new molecular approach for the detection and identification of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in food is presented here. The method is based on the PCR amplification of a fragment of the iap gene from the five species belonging to the genus and on the analysis of the PCR products obtained by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The protocol was first optimized by using strains from international collections. Based on the differences present in the sequences amplified, it was possible to obtain species-specific DGGE migration that allowed fast and easy identification of L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. welshimeri, L. seeligeri, and L. ivanovii. Moreover, for L. monocytogenes serotypes, partial differentiation was possible. The optimized protocol was used for identification of Listeria strains traditionally isolated from food and for direct detection and identification of Listeria members in food after an overnight enrichment. Identification of 48 food isolates and direct detection of Listeria spp. in 73 food samples show the potential of the method that can be used as a fast screening test to investigate the presence of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes in food. 相似文献

AIM: To assess the effect of different foods, which have been implicated or not in cases of listeriosis, on the in vitro virulence-associated phenotype level of different Listeria monocytogenes strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: The virulence-associated phenotype level of L. monocytogenes was studied with the in vitro cell test based on a plaque-forming assay with a human adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29) monolayer. Three strains of L. monocytogenes were grown in preparations (homogenate, 1-mum filtrate or 0.2-mum filtrate) of different food extracts ['rillettes' (potted minced pork), milk, raw salmon and cold-smoked salmon] or in a control medium, brain heart infusion (BHI). The bacterial suspensions grown in food extracts or in BHI at 37 degrees C were diluted with their growth medium (food extract or BHI) or with minimum essential medium before seeding on confluent HT-29 cell monolayers. Filtration of food extracts had no significant effect on the plaque numbers formed by the bacteria. A significant decrease in the plaque numbers was noted for the three strains when they grew in the rillettes extracts, compared with the other food extracts and BHI. The levels of in vitro virulence-associated phenotype of the strains after growth in the rillettes extract were similar to or lower than that of the hypovirulent internal reference strain L. monocytogenes 442. After growth in milk and cold-smoked salmon, the impact on virulence-associated phenotype depended on the strain. In contrast, plaque-forming assay indicated increased virulence-associated phenotype when the strains were switched from a nutrient-rich medium (food extract or BHI) to a minimum essential medium. CONCLUSIONS: In vitro virulence-associated phenotype level of the studied strains grown in BHI or cold-smoked salmon was the same as the control virulent strain EGD. In contrast, the nutrients present in rillettes may therefore substantially reduce the number of plaques but not the growth of L. monocytogenes. The utilization of minimum essential medium as diluent attenuates changes the effect of the food extract on virulence-associated phenotype in vitro. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: In the experimental design of this study, we showed that the nature of the food could affect the in vitro virulence-associated phenotype level of L. monocytogenes. 相似文献

A new selective medium (Al-Zoreky-Sandine listeria medium [ASLM]) was formulated to recover Listeria monocytogenes from food specimens; the medium completely inhibited common food microflora. Recognition of Listeria colonies is evident by black discoloration of the medium due to esculin hydrolysis without need for special illuminating equipment. The medium contains acriflavin, ceftazidime, and moxalactam as selective agents. Compared with Listeria Selective Agar, ASLM was equally effective in recovering L. monocytogenes. However, ASLM inhibited micrococci, enterococci, and gram-negative bacteria, especially a strain that mimicked L. monocytogenes on Listeria Selective Agar. The new medium was able to recover heat injured cells with only 15% less count than the nonselective medium. 相似文献

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on Listeria monocytogenes in phosphate-buffered saline and model food systems 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Three strains of Listeria monocytogenes (NCTC 11994, a poultry isolate and the Scott A strain) were exposed to a range of pressures (300, 350, 375, 400 and 450 MPa) in 10 mmol l−1 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7·0 for up to 30 min at ambient temperature. Generally, increasing the magnitude and duration of compression resulted in increasing levels of inactivation, although the inactivation kinetics varied depending on the strain and pressure applied. The three strains also exhibited a wide variation in their resistance to high pressure. The resistance of the three strains to high pressure (375 MPa) was also assessed in a series of model food systems containing one of each of the three main food constituents: protein (1, 2, 5 and 8% w/v bovine serum albumin in PBS), carbohydrate (1, 2, 5 and 10% w/v glucose in PBS) and lipid (olive oil (30% v/v) in PBS emulsion). Overall, increasing the concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glucose in the suspending medium resulted in decreasing levels of inactivation of all three strains; however, the minimum concentration of BSA and glucose required to increase survival to a level greater than that observed in PBS alone varied depending on the strain and on the duration of the treatment. The survival of all three strains was greater in the olive oil/PBS emulsion than in PBS alone at all treatment times. 相似文献

AIMS: The effectiveness of freeze-dried powder, fermented with bacteriocin producing Carnobacterium piscicola CS526, was evaluated for the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes in a food model. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 10% solution of milk whey powder was fermented with a bacteriocinogenic C. piscicola CS526 Bac(+) or its nonbacteriocinogenic mutant strain CS526 Bac(-) at 30 degrees C for 12 h and freeze-dried. The freeze-dried piscicocin CS526 Bac(+) fermentate exhibited strong anti-listerial activity even at a concentration of 1% (w/v) in sterile water (pH 7), but the piscicocin CS526 Bac(-) fermentate and nonfermented whey powder had no anti-listerial activity. In the presence of 10% piscicocin CS526 Bac(+) fermentate, L. monocytogenes in ground meat rapidly decreased from 10(5) CFU g(-1) to less than the detection limit (3.0 x 10(3) CFU g(-1)) within 5 and 1 days at 4 and 12 degrees C, and was bacteriostatically inhibited for 25 and 4 days at 4 and 12 degrees C respectively. Furthermore, this inhibitory effect was enhanced at lower temperatures. CONCLUSIONS: Piscicocin CS526 Bac(+) fermentate was effective for the control of L. monocytogenes in a food model at refrigeration temperatures. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A freeze-dried bioactive piscicocin CS526 Bac(+) powder can be a powerful tool to ensure food safety against L. monocytogenes contamination in refrigerated foods such as ready-to-eat products. 相似文献

The heat resistance of Listeria monocytogenes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Heat resistance data for Listeria monocytogenes are reviewed. The organism is appreciably more resistant than common Salmonella serotypes but less resistant than Salmonella senftenberg 775W. Reports that the organism can survive heating at 80°C have not been substantiated and are incompatible with carefully determined D and z values in milk and a range of foods. Cooking food to an internal temperature of 70°C for 2 min is adequate to ensure destruction of L. monocytogenes. Normal pasteurization procedures will inactivate L. monocytogenes in milk but the margin of safety is greater for vat pasteurization than for high temperature short time treatment. 相似文献
