Research – Scientists further our understanding of how a foodborne bacterium can survive in food preparation environments
Scientists from the Quadram Institute and UK Health Security Agency have discovered that bacterial populations remain stable on factory floor despite cleaning efforts in ready-to-eat food production facilities.
In 2019, six people died from a listeria outbreak caused by contaminated ready-to-eat foods served in a number of hospitals across the UK. In light of this, scientists are now performing vital research which helps to understand how these pathogens can persist in ready-to-eat food preparation environments.
The results showed that the populations of bacteria that coexist with L. monocytogenes were stable over time and have adapted to the conditions on the factory floor, including food safety controls. Maria Diaz from the Quadram Institute and lead of the study explains, “as L. monocytogenes is supported by a stable community of other bacteria, we may now need to develop new strategies to alter the whole bacterial population to effectively eliminate the pathogen.”

Research – Inhibition and eradication of Listeria monocytogenes biofilm using the combined treatment with nisin and sesamol
Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes can form biofilms, which enables it to persist in the food industry and poses a significant threat to food safety. The combination of nisin (NS) and sesamol (SE) has been found to inhibit the proliferation of L. monocytogenes. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the combined use of NS and SE on the biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes and investigate the potential underlying mechanisms. The results showed that the combination of NS and SE completely inhibited the biofilm formation of both strains on the stainless steel sheet within 48 h. The existing L. monocytogenes biofilm on the stainless steel sheet was completely removed within 4 h after the combined treatment of NS and SE. Compared with individual treatment, the combined use of NS and SE resulted in a more significant downregulation in gene expression of fbpA, which is associated with L. monocytogenes biofilm formation. The findings suggest that the combined strategy of NS and SE in food processing has greater potential to control the formation of L. monocytogenes biofilms and eliminate existing ones, compared with using NS or SE alone.
