Medicinal plants are considered a major source for discovering novel effective drugs. To our knowledge, no studies have reported the chemical composition and biological activities of Moroccan Lactuca saligna extracts. In this context, this study aims to characterize the polyphenolic compounds distributed in hydro-methanolic extracts of L. saligna and evaluate their antioxidant and antibacterial activities; in addition, in silico analysis based on molecular docking and ADMET was performed to predict the antibacterial activity of the identified phenolic compounds. Our results showed the identifi...

Bacterial adhesion inhibition by microalgal EPSs from Cylindrotheca closterium and Tetraselmis suecica biofilms
In this study, three extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) fractions extracted from microalgae biofilms of Cylindrotheca closterium (fraction C) and Tetraselmis suecica (fraction Ta rich in insoluble scale structure and fraction Tb rich in soluble EPS) were screened for their anti-adhesive properties, against eight human food-borne pathogens belonging to Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes species. The results showed that the fraction Ta was the most effective inducing statistically significant reduction for three strains of E. coli, S. aureus, and L. m...

A stochastic approach for modelling the in-vitro effect of osmotic stress on growth dynamics and persistent cell formation in Listeria monocytogenes
This study aimed to investigate a possible relationship between exposure to different salt concentrations (osmotic stress) and the amount of persisters triggered in a strain of Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, we described this phenomenon from a mathematical perspective through predictive microbiology models commonly used in the food field. The lag time distribution of a L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 strain grown in broth with additional 2 %, 4 % and 6 % NaCl was evaluated using the software ScanLag. It uses office scanners to automatically record the colony growth on agar plates and evaluate the frequency distribution of...

Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria producing a potent anti-listerial bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) from chhurpi, a fermented milk product
The objective of this study was to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that produce bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) and have strong anti-listerial activity. We have identified and analyzed a LAB obtained from chhurpi samples, a popular milk-derived product in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. The strain was studied and identified based on its morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics. Furthermore, the molecular 16s-rDNA analysis suggests that the strain was Lactococcus sp. RGUAM1 (98.2% similar to Lactococcus lactis subsp. hordniae NBRC 100931T). The isolated strain can produce a po...

Radio frequency inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes in skimmed and whole milk powder
This study investigates the RF inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes in two types of milk powder; skimmed and whole milk powder. Specifically, the aims were to (i) examine the influence of the powder's composition on bacterial inactivation, (ii) evaluate the response of bacteria with different Gram properties (Gram positive and Gram negative) and (iii) verify the use of Enterococcus faecium as a surrogate for the two microorganisms for the specific RF process. In order to examine exclusively the influence of RF, a non-isothermal temperature profile was used, employing solely different RF energy ...

Lactic Acid Bacteria isolated from traditional and innovative alheiras as potential biocontrol agents
Food Microbiol. 2024 May;119:104450. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104450. Epub 2023 Dec 13.ABSTRACTFrom a selection of seven traditional and 14 innovative alheiras, 491 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated and tested for their antimicrobial activity against several food-borne pathogens. Among these, six strains revealed antimicrobial activity through potential bacteriocin production against 14 Listeria monocytogenes strains, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Clostridium sporogenes ESB050, and Clostridium perfringens ESB054. Through whole genome sequencing (WGS), these strains were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ...

Listeria monocytogenes prevalence and genomic diversity along the pig and pork production chain
Food Microbiol. 2024 May;119:104430. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104430. Epub 2023 Nov 25.ABSTRACTThe facultative intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is the causative agent of listeriosis, a severe invasive illness. This ubiquitous species is widely distributed in the environment, but infection occurs almost exclusively through ingestion of contaminated food. The pork production sector has been heavily affected by a series of L. monocytogenes-related foodborne outbreaks in the past around the world. Ready-to-eat (RTE) pork products represent one of the main food sources for strong-evidence listerio...
