  6. The antimicrobial action of resveratrol against Listeria monocytogenes in food-based models and its antibiofilm properties

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      BACKGROUND

      Resveratrol (3,5,4’-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural phytoalexin synthesized by plants in response to stress. This compound has several beneficial documented properties, namely anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuro-protective or antimicrobial activities. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of resveratrol against Listeria monocytogenes and L. innocua was studied.

  12. Inverse trends of Campylobacter and Salmonella in Swiss surveillance data, 1988-2013

    • Eurosurveillance

    • Clinical isolates of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. are notifiable in Switzerland. In 1995, Campylobacter replaced Salmonella as the most frequently reported food-borne pathogen. We analysed notification data (1988-2013) for these two bacterial, gastrointestinal pathogens of public health importance in Switzerland. Notification rates were calculated using data for the average resident population.

  16. WrpA is an atypical flavodoxin-family protein under regulatory control of the Brucella abortus general stress response system

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The general stress response (GSR) system of the intracellular pathogen Brucella abortus controls transcription of approximately 100 genes in response to a range of stress cues. The core genetic regulatory components of the GSR are required for B. abortus survival under non-optimal growth conditions in vitro, and for maintenance of chronic infection in an in vivo mouse model. The functions of the majority of the genes in the GSR transcriptional regulon remain undefined.

  23. Contribution of the Salmonella enterica KdgR Regulon to Persistence of the Pathogen in Vegetable Soft Rots [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • During their colonization of plants, human enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica, are known to benefit from interactions with phytopathogens. At least in part, benefits derived by Salmonella from the association with a soft rot caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum were shown to be dependent on Salmonella KdgR, a regulator of genes involved in the uptake and utilization of carbon sources derived from the degradation of plant polymers.

  24. Diguanylate Cyclases AdrA and STM1987 Regulate Salmonella enterica Exopolysaccharide Production during Plant Colonization in an Environment-Dependent Manner [Plant Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Increasing evidence indicates that despite exposure to harsh environmental stresses, Salmonella enterica successfully persists on plants, utilizing fresh produce as a vector to animal hosts. Among the important S. enterica plant colonization factors are those involved in biofilm formation. S. enterica biofilm formation is controlled by the signaling molecule cyclic di-GMP and represents a sessile lifestyle on surfaces that protects the bacterium from environmental factors.

  25. To Modulate Survival under Secondary Stress Conditions, Listeria monocytogenes 10403S Employs RsbX To Downregulate {sigma}B Activity in the Poststress Recovery Stage or Stationary Phase [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Listeria monocytogenes is a saprophytic bacterium that thrives in diverse environments and causes listeriosis via ingestion of contaminated food. RsbX, a putative sigma B (B) regulator, is thought to maintain the ready state in the absence of stress and reset the bacterium to the initial state in the poststress stage in Bacillus subtilis. We wondered whether RsbX is functional in L. monocytogenes under different stress scenarios.
