USA – Listeria Illnesses and a Death reported in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Maine linked to Almark Foods Hard-Boiled Eggs
As of December 17, 2019, a total of seven people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from five states.
Listeria specimens from ill people were collected from April 10, 2017, to November 12, 2019. Ill people range in age from less than 1 to 82 years, with a median age of 75. Seventy-one percent of ill people are male. Of six ill people with information available, four hospitalizations have been reported. One death has been reported from Texas. One illness was reported in a newborn who was infected with Listeria while the mother was pregnant, but the newborn survived.
Research -The probiotic, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, inhibits Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation
Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation renders these cells highly resistant to current sanitation methods, and probiotics may be a promising approach to the efficient inhibition of Listeria biofilms. In the present study, three Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi were shown to be effective probiotics for inhibiting Listeria biofilm formation. Biofilms of two L. monocytogenes serotypes, 1/2a (ATCC15313) and 4b (ATCC19115), in dual‐species culture with each probiotic strain were decreased by more than 40‐fold as compared with single‐species Listeria biofilms; for instance, a reduction from 5.4 × 106 colony forming units (CFU)/cm2 L. monocytogenes ATCC19115 in single‐species biofilms to 1.1 × 105 CFU/cm2 in dual‐species biofilms. Most likely, one of the Leuconostoc strains, L. mesenteroides W51, led to the highest Listeria biofilm inhibition without affecting the growth of L. monocytogenes. The cell‐free supernatant from the L. mesenteroides W51 culture containing large protein molecules (>30 kDa) also inhibited Listeria biofilms. These data indicate that Leuconostoc probiotics can be used to repress L. monocytogenes biofilm contamination on surfaces at food processing facilities.
