Capacity of Listeria monocytogenes Strains from the 2011 Cantaloupe Outbreak To Adhere, Survive, and Grow on Cantaloupe

JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION, 79(5), 757–763.

By: M. Martinez  n, J. Osborne n, V. Jayeola n, V. Katic* & S. Kathariou  n

author keywords: Adherence; Cantaloupe; Growth; Listeria monocytogenes; Outbreak; Serotype
MeSH headings : Cucumis melo; Disease Outbreaks; Food Microbiology; Listeria monocytogenes; Listeriosis / epidemiology
TL;DR: All strains from the 2011 cantaloupe outbreak were able to adhere and grow, with ∼10-fold increases after 7 days at 4 or 8°C and after 24 h at 25°C, with a propensity for more growth on rind than on flesh or in extract. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

Genetic Determinants for Cadmium and Arsenic Resistance among Listeria monocytogenes Serotype 4b Isolates from Sporadic Human Listeriosis Patients

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 79(7), 2471–2476.

By: S. Lee n, M. Rakic-Martinez n, L. Graves*, T. Ward *, R. Siletzky n & S. Kathariou n

MeSH headings : Arsenic / toxicity; Cadmium / toxicity; Drug Resistance, Bacterial; Genes, Bacterial; Humans; Listeria monocytogenes / drug effects; Listeria monocytogenes / genetics; Listeria monocytogenes / isolation & purification; Listeriosis / microbiology
TL;DR: In Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b isolates from sporadic listeriosis, heavy metal resistance was primarily encountered in certain clonal groups (ECI, ECII, and ECIa); all arsenic-resistant isolates harbored the arsenic resistance cassette previously identified in pLI100.

Listeria monocytogenes Strains Selected on Ciprofloxacin or the Disinfectant Benzalkonium Chloride Exhibit Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Benzalkonium Chloride, and Other Toxic Compounds

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 77(24), 8714–8721.

By: M. Rakic-Martinez n, D. Drevets *, V. Dutta n, V. Katic* & S. Kathariou n
