Listeria monocytogenes—Can We Reduce or Eliminate It From Food Commodities?

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2026.
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis. Traditional control methods include heat treatment, high‐pressure processing, irradiation, and acidification, all aimed at reducing bacterial load in foods. Emerging strategies include gene expression, CRISPR‐Cas9, bacteriophage, competitive exclusion via beneficial microbes ...

Demographic Features of Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Taiwan, 1993 to 2020, and Genetic Characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis Isolates, 2003 to 2020

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
We present the demographic features of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Taiwan between 1993 and 2020 and the genetic characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis isolates recovered from 2003 to 2020. IMD was rare in Taiwan between 1993 and 2020, with

Determinants of Antimicrobial Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates From Intensive Care Patients in Latvia

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading nosocomial pathogen in intensive care units (ICUs), often resistant to multiple antibiotics. Data from the Baltic region remain scarce, limiting infection control and stewardship strategies. Methods We conducted an integrated phenotypic–genotypic analysis of A.

Genetic Diversity of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Two Tertiary Care Hospitals in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, Characterized by spa Typing, Coagulase VNTR Sequencing, and REP‐PCR

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains a major cause of health care‐associated infection in high‐risk units such as burn and cancer wards. In settings where advanced genotyping schemes are not routinely available, combining complementary molecular typing methods can improve characterization of genetic diversity for surveillance ...

Real-Time Whole-Genome Sequencing for Surveillance of Listeria monocytogenes, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
During 2015–2016, we evaluated the performance of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a routine typing tool. Its added value for microbiological and epidemiologic surveillance of listeriosis was compared with that for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE),

Investigating Stress Tolerance of Multiple Salmonella enterica Strains Associated With Foodborne Outbreaks

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Salmonella enterica is a foodborne pathogen commonly found in food processing environments. Although control methods such as heat treatment and sanitizers are often used, S. enterica has evolved strategies for survival and persistence to overcome pathogen control.

Unraveling the impact of genome assembly on bacterial typing: a one health perspective

BMC Genomics
Background In the context of pathogen surveillance, it is crucial to ensure interoperability and harmonized data. Several surveillance systems are designed to compare bacteria and identify outbreak clusters based on core genome MultiLocus Sequence Typing

Egrets Promote the Transmission and Spread of Plasmid‐Mediated Colistin Resistance Gene mcr-1‐Bearing Escherichia coli Strains in Crested Ibis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Colistin resistance genes have attracted increasing global attention due to their plasmid‐mediated transmissibility. To clarify the transmission dynamics of colistin resistance genes in the endangered crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) and its environment, surveillance for mcr-1 was conducted at a captive breeding center in Deqing, Zhejiang, China, from ...

Emergence of Transferable Plasmid Coharboring mcr-1.1 and blaCTX-M−55 Genes in Multidrug‐Resistant Escherichia coli From Mink

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria have reduced the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents and limited available treatment options in both human and animal settings. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal‐derived Escherichia coli (E. coli) has become increasingly common, with many isolates showing resistance to multiple classes of antimicrobials ...
