Carla Palacios-Gorba et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that dairy farms serve as reservoirs for hypervirulent Listeria monocytogenes, with seasonal variations and animal types impacting the prevalence of this pathogen. Various sublineages and clonal complexes of L. monocytogenes were identified, with different cgMLST types common among animals and surfaces within the same farm.

Heterogeneity in single-cell outgrowth of Listeria monocytogenes in half Fraser enrichment broth is affected by strain variability and physiological state

Jasper W. Bannenberg et al.

Summary: Pathogens exhibit highly variable behavior at the single-cell level, impacting the efficacy of detection methods. Heterogeneity in single-cell growth is influenced by heat stress, selective enrichment broth, and the specific strain of Listeria monocytogenes. Low cell concentrations can impede detection due to cell heterogeneity, emphasizing the importance of considering single-cell heterogeneity in optimizing enrichment procedures for low levels of L. monocytogenes contamination.

Comparative Analysis of Genetic Determinants Encoding Cadmium, Arsenic, and Benzalkonium Chloride Resistance in Listeria monocytogenes of Human, Food, and Environmental Origin

Tereza Gelbicova et al.

Summary: The environmental adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes involves complex mechanisms contributing to their survival and spread in the environment, leading to the development of listeriosis. Analysis of whole-genome sequencing data revealed that genes encoding cadmium, arsenic, and benzalkonium chloride resistance were predominantly located on mobile genetic elements and could horizontally spread across different lineages. Certain serotypes and clonal complexes showed a relationship between the spread of resistance genes and the need for further study to understand their adaptation in food production environments.

Unraveling the emergence and population diversity of Listeria monocytogenes in a newly built meat facility through whole genome sequencing

Adrian Alvarez-Molina et al.

Summary: The study conducted sampling and analysis of the food processing environment of a newly opened meat processing facility, identifying an increase in Listeria monocytogenes isolation frequency and sequence type diversity over time. Persistent strains were observed in the environment, suggesting clonal expansion and persistence of certain strains with attenuated virulence potential and plasmid presence. The analysis also showed that ST9 strains isolated were more closely related to European isolates than North American isolates and more frequently linked to meat and pork products in Europe.

Summary: The study presents an analysis of the GenomeTrakr WGS Network's impact on food safety, showing that adding WGS isolates to the NCBI database is associated with reducing illnesses from WGS pathogens. According to cost benefit analysis, the program likely broke even in its second year of implementation and could produce increasing public health benefits as the network matures.

Making Sense of the Biodiversity and Virulence of Listeria monocytogenes

Olivier Disson et al.

Summary: Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen causing listeriosis, with manifestations such as bacteremia and meningoencephalitis. Reference strains have been crucial in microbiological, immunological, and cell biology research. Integrating bacterial population genomics with environmental, epidemiological, and clinical data has revealed new factors in L. monocytogenes' virulence and adaptation.

Hypo- and Hyper-Virulent Listeria monocytogenes Clones Persisting in Two Different Food Processing Plants of Central Italy

Fabrizia Guidi et al.

Summary: A study was conducted on 66 Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) strains isolated from a small-scale meat processing plant and a dairy facility in Central Italy from 2013 to 2018. Whole Genome Sequencing and bioinformatics analysis revealed genetic relationships between the strains, persistence, and virulence abilities. The study found that CC9 and CC121 strains in the meat processing plant were more adapted to the environment and showed higher biofilm production, while the CC2 strains in the dairy facility persisted for a longer period of time.

Summary: This study revealed significant variability in the survival and virulence potential of Listeria monocytogenes isolates within the food production environment. Some isolates displayed resistance to cadmium and disinfectants, while no resistance to clinically important antibiotics was observed. Additionally, potential hypervirulent strains containing key virulence factors were identified.

Environmental dissemination of pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes in flowing surface waters in Switzerland

Susanne Raschle et al.

Summary: Listeria monocytogenes was found in 13% of surface water samples from rivers, streams, and inland canals in Switzerland, with some isolates belonging to hypervirulent clones implicated in listeriosis outbreaks. The presence of L. monocytogenes in river ecosystems may contribute to the dissemination of clinically highly relevant strains to the food chain.
