TLDR
The recent outbreaks underscored the individual characteristics of specific foods and raised questions about the current understanding of infectivity of lower doses and the susceptibility of specific individuals, and further research is clearly necessary to control this pathogen.About:

Anti-Listeria monocytogenes biofilm mechanism of cold nitrogen plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the anti-L monocytogenes biofilm mechanism of cold nitrogen plasma (CNP) treatment by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the changes of gene expression were explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress and challenges on the bioassay of pathogenic bacteria.
TL;DR: The role of nanomaterials in the development of biosensors for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is investigated and type of nanoparticles, analytes, methods of detection and injection, sensitivity, matrix and method of tagging are argued.

Predictive risk models combined with employee- and management-implemented SSOPs identified and reduced Listeria monocytogenes prevalence in retail delis
Sophie Tongyu Wu,Susan R. Hammons,Jingjin Wang,Clara Assisi,Brittany DiPietro,Haley F. Oliver +5 more
TL;DR: A subsequent deep-clean SSOP (deep clean) conducted by store employees and management complemented with training and facilities improvements all aimed to reduce L. monocytogenes prevalence in retail delis, a pivotal part of preventing subsequent cross-contamination to RTE deli meats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in salmon with or without the competition of background microflora — A one-step kinetic analysis
TL;DR: The results showed that the background microflora in raw salmon have inhibiting effect on the growth of L. monocytogenes and microbiological shelf-life prediction of salmon, and the non-competitive and competitive models were accurate.

TL;DR: The European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control have analyzed the information on the occurrence of zoonoses and food-borne outbreaks in 2009 submitted by 27 European Union Member States as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Listeria monocytogenes virulence and pathogenicity, a food safety perspective.
TL;DR: Current progress in understanding the general features of virulence and pathogenesis of L. monocytogenes is discussed and areas of special relevance to the organism's involvement in human foodborne illness are focused on.

Control of Listeria monocytogenes in the Food-Processing Environment
TL;DR: The information presented in this paper provides the basis for the establishment of an environmental sampling program, the organization and interpretation of the data generated by this program, and the response to Listeria-positive results.

Review--Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in food industry equipment and premises.
Brigitte Carpentier,Olivier Cerf +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that there are no strains of Listeria monocytogenes with unique properties that lead to persistence, but harborage sites in food industry premises and equipment where L. monocyTogenes can persist and that when a low initial bacterial charge is applied, early cleaning and disinfection is the only way to avoid persistence.
