Ready-to-eat meat products as a source of Listeria monocytogenes

Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Listeria Monocytogenes Isolated from Retail Ready-to-Eat Meat Products in Gorgan, Iran

Background and Objectives: Listeria monocytogenes are known as an emerged foodborne pathogen and considered as a severe health risk. In the present study, prevalence and antibiotic resistance of L. monocytogenes isolated from ready-to-eat meat products in Iran were assessed. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 ready-to-eat meat products, including chicken meat (wing, breast, and leg), lamb a...

Occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes in Ready-to-Eat Meat Products and Meat Processing Plants in Spain

The aim of this work was to study the occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes in several types of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products and in the environment of meat processing plants. A total of 129 samples of RTE meat products and 110 samples from work surfaces and equipment were analyzed. L. monocytogenes was detected in 6 out of 35 cooked products (17.14%), 21 out of 57 raw-cured products (36.84%)...

Control of Listeria monocytogenes Contamination in Ready-to-Eat Meat Products

The ubiquitous nature of Listeria monocytogenes and its ability to grow at refrigerated temperature makes L. monocytogenes a significant threat to the safety of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products. The contamination by L. monocytogenes in RTE meat primarily occurs during slicing and packaging after cooking. The effectiveness of postpackage decontamination technology such as in-package thermal past...

Transcriptome analysis of Listeria monocytogenes grown on a ready-to-eat meat matrix.

The contamination of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products with Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern for the food industry. For a better understanding of the adaptation and survival ability of L. monocytogenes grown on turkey deli meat, the transcriptome of L. monocytogenes strain F2365 was determined with a microarray. Microarray data were validated with a quantitative real-time reverse transc...
