Abstract Listeria monocytogenes ( Lm ) is a major human and animal foodborne pathogen. Here we show that hypervirulent clones, particularly CC1, are strongly associated with dairy products, whereas hypovirulent CC9 CC121, meat products. Clone adaptation to distinct ecological niches and/or different food products contamination routes may account for this uneven distribution. Indeed, clones colonize better the intestinal lumen invade more tissues than ones, reflecting their adaption host...

ABSTRACT Susceptibility to antibiotics of 4,816 clinical L. monocytogenes strains isolated since 1926 was studied, and the temporal evolution susceptibility analyzed through several decades. The mechanisms resistance in each resistant strain were studied. prevalence estimated at 1.27% among isolates from humans. Resistance tetracyclines+ fluoroquinolones more common has recently emerged. Although acquired did not implicate clinically relevant antibiotics, possibility gene transfers,...

Abstract Two species of Listeria are pathogenic; L. monocytogenes infects humans and animals, ivanovii has been considered to infect ruminants only. We report ivanovii–associated gastroenteritis bacteremia in a man. This isolate was indistinguishable from prototypic ruminant strains. is thus an enteric opportunistic human pathogen.

Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is worldwide a pathogen, but the geographic distribution of clones remains largely unknown. Genotyping 300 isolates from 5 continents and diverse sources showed existence few prevalent globally distributed clones, some which include previously described epidemic clones. Cosmopolitan indicates need for genotyping standardization.

During 2015-2016, we evaluated the performance of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a routine typing tool. Its added value for microbiological and epidemiologic surveillance listeriosis was compared with that pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), current standard method. A total 2,743 Listeria monocytogenes isolates collected part were characterized in parallel by PFGE core genome multilocus sequence (cgMLST) extracted from WGS. We investigated cgMLST clusters containing human isolates....

Matrix-associated laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a rapid and simple microbial identification method. Previous reports using the Biotyper system suggested that this technique requires preliminary extraction step to identify Gram-positive rods (GPRs), technical issue may limit routine use pathogenic GPRs in clinical setting. We tested accuracy MALDI-TOF MS Andromas strategy set 659 GPR isolates representing 16 bacterial genera 72 species by...

The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is genetically heterogeneous. Although some clonal groups have been implicated in multiple outbreaks, there currently no consensus on how "epidemic clones" should be defined. objectives of this work were to compare the patterns sequence diversity two sets genes that widely used define L. groups: multilocus typing (MLST) and multi-virulence-locus (MvLST). Further, we evaluated within by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Based 125 isolates...

ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes depends on the ability this bacterium to escape from phagosome host cells via action pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O (LLO). Expression LLO-encoding gene ( hly ) requires transcriptional activator PrfA, and both prfA genes are essential for L. virulence. Here, we used hemolytic activity LLO as a phenotypic marker screen spontaneous virulence-attenuating mutations in . Sixty nonhemolytic isolates were identified among collection 57,820...

Bacterial sepsis has become the most frequent infectious complication of transfusion. Although Yersinia enterocolitica is a common enteropathogen usually causing relatively mild disease, it nevertheless prominent cause life-threatening post-transfusion infection. To gain better understanding clinical presentation and prognosis this rare occurrence, we performed systematic detailed review 55 published cases, which present here after description mechanisms underlying contamination red blood...

In August 2017, an outbreak of six listeriosis cases in Denmark was traced to cold-smoked salmon, using epidemiological investigations and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses. Exchange genome sequences allowed identification France a food isolate from salmon-derived product human 2016 within the same cgMLST cluster as Danish isolates (L2-SL8-ST8-CT771). The salmon came third European Union country. WGS can rapidly link across Europe.

Abstract Invasive listeriosis is a severe foodborne infection in humans and difficult to control. Listeriosis incidence increasing worldwide, but some countries have implemented molecular surveillance programs improve recognition management of outbreaks. In Germany, routine whole-genome sequencing, core genome multilocus sequence typing, single nucleotide polymorphism calling are used for subtyping Listeria monocytogenes isolates from cases suspected foods. During 2018–2019, an unusually...
