The genomes of three strains of Listeria monocytogenes that have been associated with food-borne illness in the USA were subjected to whole genome comparative analysis. A total of 51, 97 and 69 strain-specific genes were identified in L.monocytogenes strains F2365 (serotype 4b, cheese isolate), F6854 (serotype 1/2a, frankfurter isolate) and H7858 (serotype 4b, meat isolate), respectively.

- The study aimed to determine if the Rome II diagnostic criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders are applicable to Asian patients by analyzing their symptoms.
- A questionnaire based on the Rome II criteria was developed and translated into local languages, with data collected from outpatient clinics in nine Asian regions.
- The analysis revealed that symptoms from 1,012 patients generally aligned with the Rome II classification, although some symptoms grouped differently, indicating a partial support for the existing criteria.
