Nama from Listeria Monocytogenes
Identification and Characterisation of an Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) - NamA from Listeria monocytogenes by Majid Abdullah Bamaga A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy September, 2014 Abstract The food-borne pathogene Listeria monocytogenes has been considered a significant threat to human health worldwide. It mainly infects individuals suffering insuffecint immunity such as pregnant women. During pregnancy, L. monocytogenes is capable of causing a serious damage to the mother and the fetus. It can spread to different organs including the placenta via adaptation to interacellular lifestyle. To maintain pregnancy, the levels of the hormones progesterone and β-estradiol increase and reduction in hormone levels was proposed to be associated with fetal death and abortion. The objectives of this project therefore were to investigate the role of pregnancy hormones on the growth and virulence of L. monocytogenes, and to identify bacterial genes with possible roles in binding to pregnancy hormones. It was obsereved that the growth of L. monocytogenes in the presence of progesterone under anaerobic condition was affected by the action of the hormone and the effect was dose/time-dependent of exposure as increasing concentrations showed greater effect on the bacterial growth. Interestingly, bacterial growth was restored within 24 h of exposure to the hormone. In parallel, a Tn917-LTV3 insertion library was constructed and a number of mutants isolated that had reduced growth in the presence of β-estradiol were identified. However, reduction in growth was not microbiologically significant. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify listerial genes with possible role in hormones degradation. -

A Critical Review on Listeria Monocytogenes
International Journal of Innovations in Biological and Chemical Sciences, Volume 13, 2020, 95-103 A Critical Review on Listeria monocytogenes Vedavati Goudar and Nagalambika Prasad* *Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Life Science, School of Life Sciences, JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru, Karnataka, Pin code: 570015, India ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is an omnipresent gram +ve, rod shaped, facultative, and motile bacteria. It is an opportunistic intracellular pathogenic microorganism that has become crucial reason for human food borne infections worldwide. It causes Listeriosis, the disease that can be serious and fatal to human and animals. Listeria outbreaks are often linked to dairy products, raw vegetables, raw meat and smoked fish, raw milk. The most effected country by Listeriosis is United States. CDC estimated that 1600 people get Listeriosis annually and regarding 260 die. It additionally contributes to negative economic impact because of the value of surveillance, investigation, treatment and prevention of sickness. The analysis of food products for presence of pathogenic microorganisms is one among the fundamental steps to regulate safety of food. This article intends to review the status of its introduction, characteristics, outbreaks, symptoms, prevention and treatment, more importantly to controlling the Listeriosis and its safety measures. Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes, Listeriosis, Food borne pathogens, Contamination INTRODUCTION Food borne health problem is outlined by the World Health Organization as “diseases, generally occurs by either infectious or hepatotoxic in nature, caused by the agents that enter the body through the activity of food WHO 2015 [1]. Causes of food borne health problem include bacteria, parasites, viruses, toxins, metals, and prions [2]. -

Characterizing the culturable bacteria isolated from imported, ready-to-eat (RTE) foods for their ability to control Listeria monocytogenes by Krishna Sen Gelda A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Krishna Sen Gelda, September 2019 ABSTRACT CHARACTERIZING THE CULTURABLE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM IMPORTED, READY-TO-EAT (RTE) FOODS FOR THEIR ABILITY TO CONTROL LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES Krishna Sen Gelda Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Jeff Farber Listeria monocytogenes, an important foodborne pathogen, remains a significant threat to public health. This thesis investigated the culturable microbiota of select imported, RTE foods to see whether the existing bacterial microflora could inactivate, inhibit the growth and/or cause a reduction in the virulence of L. monocytogenes. Among all the foods tested (dried apple slices, cumin seeds, date fruits, fennel seeds, pistachios, pollen, raisins and seaweed), the date fruit microbiota displayed the most promise for harbouring antagonistic properties against L. monocytogenes. Of the 191 isolates recovered from five different date fruits, 36 (19%) produced zones of inhibition against L. monocytogenes that ranged from 0.3 to 5.8 mm. The inhibitory strains were all identified as Bacillus spp. Among those Bacillus spp. that were tested for their ability to inhibit PrfA, all caused a significant reduction in the activation of the PrfA protein (p-value < 0.05). In addition, the anti-Listeria compound(s) produced by B. altitudinis DS11 were found to be proteinaceous in nature, acid and alkali-tolerant and resistant to temperature treatments up to 100oC. -

BACILLALES INFLUENCE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF DAIRY PRODUCTS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Marie Beno December 2017 © 2017 Sarah Marie Beno BACILLALES INFLUENCE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF DAIRY PRODUCTS Sarah Marie Beno, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Bacillales, an order of Gram-positive bacteria, are commonly isolated from dairy foods and at various points along the dairy value chain. Three families of Bacillales are analyzed in this work: (i) Listeriaceae (represented by Listeria monocytogenes), (ii) Paenibacillaceae (represented by Paenibacillus), and (iii) Bacillaceae (represented by the Bacillus cereus group). These families impact both food safety and food quality. Most Listeriaceae are non- pathogenic, but L. monocytogenes has one of the highest mortality rates of foodborne pathogens. Listeria spp. are often reported in food processing environments. Here, 4,430 environmental samples were collected from 9 small cheese-processing facilities and tested for Listeria and L. monocytogenes. Prevalence varied by processing facility, but across all facilities, 6.03 and 1.35% of samples were positive for L. monocytogenes and other Listeria spp., respectively. Each of these families contains strains capable of growth at refrigeration temperatures. To more broadly understand milk spoilage bacteria, genetic analyses were performed on 28 Paenibacillus and 23 B. cereus group isolates. While no specific genes were significantly associated with cold-growing Paenibacillus, the growth variation and vast genetic data introduced in this study provide a strong foundation for the development of detection strategies. Some species within the B. -

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages Against Listeria Monocytogenes and Their Applications As Biosensors for Foodborne Pathogen Detection
Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages against Listeria monocytogenes and their Applications as Biosensors for Foodborne Pathogen Detection by Safaa Ahmed Othman Fallatah A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Safaa Fallatah, February, 2018 ABSTRACT The Isolation and Characterization of Lytic Bacteriophages against Listeria Spp and their Applications for the Rapid Detection of L. monocytogenes in Food Contact Surface and Broth Safaa Fallatah Advisor: University of Guelph, 2018 Dr. Mansel Griffiths The aim of this study was to determine the potential application of bacteriophages for the detection of Listeria spp. on food contact surfaces (FCS). Eight phages were selected for further characterization to determine the most appropriate phage for use in a detection assay. They were characterized for host range, TEM, stability to air dying for 24 h at 25 °C, and restriction endonuclease pattern. L. monocytogenes strain C716 was very resistant to all phages, however; a mutated phage, AG13M, was able to infect L. monocytogenes strain C716. AG20 & AG23 phages were high specificity against their host (Listeria spp). AG20 phage was immobilized on ColorLok paper and used in the to detect L. monocytogenes C519 in broth and FCS. AG20 phage was able to detect as few as 50 CFU/mL of L. monocytogenes in TSB and 40 CFU/cm2 on FCS using a plaque assay to detect progeny phage within 24 h.
