purpose: in this study, we have focused on antibacterial effect of newly synthesized thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives in iran on listeria monocytogenes. materials and methods: for evaluation of antibacterial effect, the disk diffusion method was applied to measure the growth inhibition zone diameter and broth micro dilution was performed to determine the minimum inhibito...

On the basis of a model we capture the role of strong attractive interaction in suppressing the rotational degrees of freedom of the system and volume exclusion in keeping microscopic symmetrybreaking intact to result in super-diffusive transport of small systems in a thermal atmosphere over a large time scale. Our results, characterize such systems on the basis of having a super-diffusive inte...

Introduction: Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen acquired through the consumption of contaminated foods. Thirteen serotypes have been reported, of which 1/2a, 1/2b, and 4b are responsible for 98% of human listeriosis cases. This study examines the association between serotypes and virulent clones, offering greater information and providing tools to prevent and control diseases caused by L. mo...

background most birds probably can carry listeria spp. asymptomatically in their intestines with varying prevalence and can transmit the pathogens to humans. the genus-listeria has two pathogenic species namely, listeria monocytogenes and listeria ivanovii. of these, l. monocytogenes is a well-known cause of abortion, encephalitis and septicaemia in man and animals. listeria ivanovii is an anim...

the purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the prevalence of raw milk contamination with listeria monocytogenes. in this study, 100 bulk tank milk samples were collected randomly and delivered to pegah pasteurization factory in mashhad.for isolation and identification of l. monocytogenes, the samples were first enriched using cold enrichment method in listeriaenrichment broth, follo...

the objective of this study was to isolation and characterization of listeria species and determines listeria monocytogenes serotypes in fresh fish, shrimp, crab and lobster in isfahan and shahrekord, iran. from september 2010 to april 2011, a total of 300 samples of fresh fish, shrimp, crab and lobster were obtained from randomly selected retail stores in isfahan and shahrekord, iran. the samp...

The phylogenetic interrelationships of members of the genus Listeria were investigated by using reverse transcriptase sequencing of 16S rRNA. The sequence data indicate that at the intrageneric level the genus Listeria consists of the following two closely related but distinct lines of descent: (i) the Listeria monocytogenes group of species (including Listeria innocua, Listeria ivanovii, Liste...

Background: Listeria monocytogenes has been identified as a serious food-borne pathogen. There is concern that raw dairy products maybe source of listeria strains responsible for human listeriosis. The aim of this study was determination of listeria from daily products which transferred to laboratory of food stuffs in Lorestan. Materials and Methods: In this study 720 different dairy samples s...

Listeria spp. are Gram-positive and facultative anaerobic bacteria, with a low G+C content in their genetic material. The genus comprises six species, namely Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, Listeria seeligeri, Listeria innocua, Listeria welshimeri, and Listeria grayi. The only pathogenic species of this genus is L. monocytogenes, although there have been few reports on the capability...
