Listeria
Methods | SpotlightGlycotyping and Specific Separation of Listeria monocytogenes with a Novel Bacteriophage Protein Tool KitListeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen that presents a major concern to the food industry due to its propensity to cause foodborne illness. The Listeria genus contains 15 different serovars, with most of the variance depending on the wall-associated teichoic acid glycopolymers, which confer somatic antigenicity. Strains belonging to...
Food MicrobiologyStrain Variability of Listeria monocytogenes under NaCl Stress Elucidated by a High-Throughput Microbial Growth Data Assembly and Analysis ProtocolThe pathogen Listeria monocytogenes causes the foodborne disease listeriosis, which can be fatal in immunocompromised individuals. L. monocytogenes tolerates several environmental stressors and can persist in food-processing environments and grow in foodstuffs despite traditional control measures...
