Actin filament nucleation by the bacterial pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes
Shortly after Listeria is phagocytosed by a macrophage, it dissolves the phagosomal membrane and enters the cytoplasm. 1 h later, actin filaments coat the Listeria and then become rearranged to form a tail with which the Listeria moves to the macrophage surface as a prelude to spreading. If infected macrophages are treated with cytochalasin D, all the actin filaments associated with the Listeri...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes: a foodborne pathogen.
Listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes, appears to be increasing in incidence worldwide. The disease is of great concern to the food industry. A recent outbreak in California was linked to the consumption of Mexican-style soft cheese and involved more than 300 cases, 30% of which were fatal. L. monocytogenes can be found in a variety of dairy products, leafy vegetables, fish and meat pro...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Inactivation of Food Pathogen Listeria monocytogenes
The aim of this study is to examine the possibility to inactivate food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes by nonthermal antimicrobial treatment – photosensitization. L. monocytogenes was incubated with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) (7.5 mM) for 0–2 h to produce endogenous photosensitizers and then illuminated with visible light. The LED-based light source used for the illumination of L. monocytogene...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes, a down-to-earth pathogen
Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of the food-borne life threatening disease listeriosis. This pathogenic bacterium received much attention in the endeavor of deciphering the cellular mechanisms that underlie the onset of infection and its ability to adapt to the food processing environment. Although information is available on the presence of L. monocytogenes in many environmental ...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes: An Emerging Food Borne Pathogen
There are many organisms secreted through milk, one of them is Listeria monocytogenes which causes significant public health problem. L. monocytogenes is the most important species in the genus Listeria creating human health hazard and having a worldwide distribution with an extensive host range which includes mammal, poultry, fish, crustacean and ticks. The name of the intracellular organism e...
