Isolation of Listeria monocytogenes and anti-listeriolysin O detection in sheep and goats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies were undertaken to compare the detection of anti-listeriolysin O antibodies (ALLO) and isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from meat and milk samples of sheep and goats. Out of 201 samples (87 of milk and 114 of meat) tested, 17.64% yielded Listeria species isolates. L. monocytogenes was isolated from 6.66 and 1.56% of meat (60) and (64) milk samples of goats, respectively, and 7.4% of sheep meat (54) samples. All the samples of ewes' milk (23) were negative for L. monocytogenes. Seropositivity for ALLO was observed in 41.13 and 33.76% of goats and sheep, respectively. The culture positivity for L. monocytogenes and detection of ALLO did not show any agreement (k<0.202). # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The listeriolysin gene from a weakly hemolytic but virulent strain of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a was cloned in Escherichia coli K-12. Recombinants were identified on the basis of their cross-reactivities to hyperimmune antisera raised against streptolysin O and listeriolysin. Low levels of hemolytic activity were detected in crude lysates of strains harboring the listeriolysin gene. I...

متن کاملPassive immunization with anti-ActA and anti-listeriolysin O antibodies protects against Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice
Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular pathogen that causes listeriosis. Due to its intracellular niche, L. monocytogenes has evolved to limit immune recognition and response to infection. Antibodies that are slightly induced by listerial infection are completely unable to protect re-infection of L. monocytogenes. Thus, a role of antibody on the protective effect against L. monocytogenes in...

Background: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. Objectives: The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...
