Isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from Meat and Dairy Products

Introduction: This study was intended to determine the presence and distribution of Listeria monocytogenes in various meat and dairy products from Qazvin Province by culture followed by biochemical and morphological assays. The identity of the isolates was further obtained by amplification of prfA gene in bacteria isolates. This gene is a transcriptional activator of virulence gene ex...

Dairy products and red meat: midwesterners always knew they were good for something.

In this issue of Circulation, Iso et al 1 report an intellectually stimulating observation from the Nurses’ Health Study Cohort linking diet with disease. The intake of saturated fat and animal protein, much maligned in this cholesterol-conscious world, were negatively associated with the risk of stroke due to intraparenchymal hemorrhage. A sigh of relief can be heard throughout the cattle-prod...

Isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from Meat and Dairy Products

Listeria spp. are Gram-positive and facultative anaerobic bacteria, with a low G+C content in their genetic material. The genus comprises six species, namely Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, Listeria seeligeri, Listeria innocua, Listeria welshimeri, and Listeria grayi. The only pathogenic species of this genus is L. monocytogenes, although there have been few reports on the capability...
