Numerous microbial pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, enter the host through the intestine. Although relatively little is known about the biological functions of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (i-IEL), they are generally considered a first line of defense against intestinal infections. In the mouse, the vast majority of i-IEL express the CD8 coreceptor either as a CD8 alpha/al...
Meningoencephalitis is a serious and often fatal complication of Listeria monocytogenes infection. The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of internalin A (InlA) and B, which are involved in the invasion of L. monocytogenes into cultivated host tissue cells, and that of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PlcB), which mainly promotes the direct cell-to-cell spread of L. m...
BACKGROUND Solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients are classically considered to be at increased risk for listeriosis. However, risk factors for this infection have not been assessed. METHODS We carried out a multicenter, matched case-control study (1:2 ratio) from January 1995 through December 2007. Control subjects were matched for center, transplant type, and timing. Conditional logistic r...
The use of live Listeria-based vaccines carries serious difficulties when administrated to immunocompromised individuals. However, cellular carriers have the advantage of inducing multivalent innate immunity as well as cell-mediated immune responses, constituting novel and secure vaccine strategies in listeriosis. Here, we compare the protective efficacy of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages...
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is a naturally occurring cytokine whose only known function is the inhibition of interleukin-1 (IL-1). Using a reverse genetic approach in mice, we previously showed that increasing IL-1ra gene dosage leads to reduced survival of a primary listerial infection. In this study, we characterize further the role of endogenously produced IL-1ra and, by infer...
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic intracellular pathogen that has become an important cause of human foodborne infections worldwide. Given its close relationship to other Listeria species and its tendency to produce non-specific clinical symptoms, the availability of rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tests for the differentiation of L. monocytogenes from other Listeria species i...
Although rates of listeriosis are low in comparison to other foodborne pathogenic illness, listeriosis poses a significant risk to human health as the invasive form can have a mortality rate as high as 30%. Food processors, especially those who produce ready-to-eat (RTE) products, need to be vigilant against Listeria monocytogenes, the causative pathogen of listeriosis, and as such, the occurre...
Incidence of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in a small-scale mushroom production facility.
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of significant concern to the agricultural and food processing industry because of its ability to grow and persist in cool and moist environments and its association with listeriosis, a disease with a very high mortality rate. Although there have been no listeriosis outbreaks attributed to fresh mushrooms in the United States, retail surveys and re...
