Listeria monocytogenes: An Emerging Food Borne Pathogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 emphasizes the relationship between infection and the development of monocytosis in the host, which is now considered to be an inconsistent feature of listeriosis in all animal species (OIE Manual, 2014).

Background & Objective: Listeria monocytogenes has already established as an important food born pathogen which induce listeriosis in human. Use of bacteriocins to provide food safety has been increased dramatically. Nisin has a wide spectrum inhibitory effect than the other bacteriocins and inhibits food-borne pathogens such as L. monocytogenes and many other Gram-positive spoilage microorg...
