Policies in place help diminish cross-contamination onto foodstuffs, but prevalence of these organisms has not diminished. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been regarded as Generally Recognized as Safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), allowing them as food additives. The antimicrobial properties of LAB are well known, but innovative ways to utilize LAB strains in the food industry need to be further explored. The objective of this study was to assess Lactobacillus salivarius (L28)’s ability to inhibit foodborne pathogens in a variety of matrices, which include stainless steel, dry pet food, and human colorectal epithelial adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). The experiment was divided into three parts; 1.) Reduction of L. monocytogenes attachment on stainless steel utilizing L28 at different temperatures and concentrations and its efficacy as a pre-treatment to prevent future attachment, 2.) Examination of the fate of Salmonella spp. present in raw chicken fat for pet kibble coating in tandem with L28 biocontrol agent, and 3.) Examination of the displacement of Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 on caco-2 cells by L28. During the first phase of the project, stainless steel coupons were inoculated with L. monocytogenes for 24h at 12°C and 25°C, the coupons were treated with various concentrations of L28 for 24h. Consequently, L28 significantly (P<0.05) inhibited L. monocytogenes attachment at both temperatures and at most concentrations. After the reduction was noted, stainless steel coupons were pre-treated with L28 at the same concentrations and temperatures, then inoculated with L. v Texas Tech University, Jorge Franco, May 2020 monocytogenes for an hour. All pre-treatment concentrations significantly prevented L. monocytogenes attachment at 25°C, only the high concentration overnight cultures were able to provide significant inhibition at 12°C. For the second phase of the project, raw chicken fat was inoculated with a five- strain cocktail of Salmonella to mimic Salmonella contamination. The Salmonella inoculated chicken fat was assigned to one of two treatments in which half was inoculated with L28, and the other half served as the control. The chicken fat was applied onto the kibble and homogenized in a tumble drum, the target concentration of L28 was 106 CFU/lb of kibble. The kibble was allowed to dry for 4h, then the samples were stored at 25°C for 72h. Time points were plated for Salmonella enumeration at 0h, 4h, 24h, 48h, and 72h for the chicken fat and

When liquid cultures of L. monocytogenes were prepared in defined media, it was noted that planktonic cells rapidly dropped out of suspension. Zeta potential and hydrophobicity assays found that the cells were more negatively charged (−22, −18, −10 mV in defined media D10, MCDB 202 and brain heart infusion [BHI] media, respectively) and were also more hydrophobic. A SEM analysis detected a capsular-like structure on the surface of cells grown in D10 media. A crude extract of the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) was found to contain cell-associated proteins. The proteins were removed with pronase treatment. The remaining non- proteinaceous component was not stained by Coomassie blue dye and a further chemical analysis of the EPS did not detect significant amounts of sugars, DNA, polyglutamic acid or any other Citation: Nwaiwu, O.; Wong, L.; specific amino acid.

Rita Pombinho September 2019 II RESUMO As doenças infeciosas são uma das principais causas de morte mundialmente, sendo a principal em bebés e crianças. Embora os tratamentos convencionais para combater infeções microbianas sejam muito eficazes, geram subpopulações bacterianas resistentes. O controlo da virulência bacteriana e a modulação da resposta do hospedeiro surgem como alternativas terapêuticas promissoras para combater as infeções. Listeria monocytogenes é uma ameaça recorrente para a saúde pública e para a indústria alimentar. É um patogénio Gram-positivo e intracelular de origem alimentar e um excelente modelo para o estudo da interação do hospedeiro com o patogénio. Esta bactéria tem a capacidade de atravessar as barreiras intestinal, hematoencefálica e materno-fetal e colonizar tecidos do hospedeiro podendo causar listeriose. Esta capacidade é alcançada através da expressão de inúmeros fatores de virulência que permite L. monocytogenes invadir, sobreviver e multiplicar dentro de células fagocíticas e não-fagocíticas. A análise do modo como este patogénio manipula as funções celulares do hospedeiro, leva à identificação de novos mecanismos que podem ser alargados a outros patogénios relevantes e ajuda na criação de novas estratégias terapêuticas. Deste modo, este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar e caracterizar novos mecanismos de virulência de L.
