The persistence of certain Listeria monocytogenes strains in food-related environments suggests niche adaptation these and therefore constitutes a major risk to consumer health results economic losses for the food producer. In this study, set 23 L. isolates, including group persistent sporadic strains, was evaluated regarding their swarming motility at 11°C. each group, significant (p<0.05) differences were observed. transcript levels nine cold stress-related genes analyzed by real-time...
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is currently a legume crop of minor importance in Europe but highly relevant staple Africa and the second most cultivated Mozambique. In Portugal Mozambique, cowpea's phenotypic genetic variation has been maintained locally by farmers some areas. We used molecular markers SSR, SilicoDArT SNP to analyze diversity population structure 97 cowpea accessions, mainly from (Southern Europe) Mozambique Africa). As far as we know, this first time that...
Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are amongst the most important agents responsible for food outbreaks occurring worldwide. In this work, two Lactobacillus spp. strains (LABs), plantarum (LB95) paraplantarum (LB13), previously isolated from spontaneously fermenting olive brines, reference probiotic strains, casei Shirota rhamnosus GG, were investigated their ability to attenuate virulence of aforementioned pathogens using animal cell...
This article presents the major differences in exoproteomes of Listeria monocytogenes strains grown at 11°C and 20°C, their comparison to 37°C, optimal temperature growth this foodborne pathogenic bacteria. A set four previously characterized representing genetic diversity species was used. Two were virulent, which one persistent, two low virulent strains. The proteins secreted by minimal medium separated sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis identified liquid...
