Listeria monocytogenes - How This Pathogen Survives in Food-Production Environments?

Jacek Osek et al.

Summary: Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen, poses a severe threat to vulnerable populations. It can survive and grow in various environmental stress conditions and form biofilms, increasing the risk of contamination. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of its adaptation to adverse conditions is crucial for developing effective pathogen control methods.

Microbiome Population Dynamics of Cold-Smoked Sockeye Salmon during Refrigerated Storage and after Culture Enrichment

Karen G. Jarvis et al.

Summary: In this study, the microbial community in cold-smoked salmon was investigated using 16S rRNA gene and shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The findings revealed the dynamics of bacterial taxa during aerobic cold storage and after culture enrichment, with Pseudomonas species being the most diverse. The study also identified potential homologs to bacteriocins, which can contribute to improving pathogen detection and quality preservation of cold-smoked salmon.

A polysaccharide utilization locus from the gut bacterium Dysgonomonas mossii encodes functionally distinct carbohydrate esterases

Cathleen Kmezik et al.

Summary: The research characterizes three carbohydrate esterases found in a gut Bacteroidete, showing their distinct functions in xylan degradation and revealing the structure and activity features of these enzymes. The investment of Dysgonomonas mossii in producing multiple CEs suggests important enzyme activities for improved accessibility of xylan and cleavage of polysaccharide-polysaccharide and lignin-polysaccharide bonds in the gut environment.

The Cheese Production Facility Microbiome Exhibits Temporal and Spatial Variability

Jared Johnson et al.

Summary: The study aimed to quantify the variability of microbial subpopulations within cheese manufacturing facilities, revealing significant differences between facilities and days, especially on food contact surfaces. Several industrially relevant bacteria, such as lactobacilli and Streptococcus, were found to play important roles in cheese flavor and texture development.

Microbial diversity and ecology of biofilms in food industry environments associated with Listeria monocytogenes persistence

Annette Fagerlund et al.

Summary: Contamination with the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes may occur in the food processing environment, where different strains of microbial communities can have diverse influences on the presence of L. monocytogenes. Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise new insights into how resident microbiota may impact the presence of L. monocytogenes in food industry environments.

Microbial colonization and resistome dynamics in food processing environments of a newly opened pork cutting industry during 1.5 years of activity

Jose F. Cobo-Diaz et al.

Summary: The study found that pig carcasses were a source of resistant bacteria that colonized the food processing environment, with drains and certain food-contact surfaces serving as reservoirs for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Over time, there was an increase in abundance and diversity of ARGs, mainly assigned to Acinetobacter and associated with resistance to antimicrobials frequently used in the region. The presence of mobile genetic elements and lateral gene transfer events were mainly detected in drains at a later sampling time.
