Genomic Insights into from Southern Korea: Pathogenicity, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Phylogenetic Distinctions.

, a significant cause of gastroenteritis and a growing public health concern, has become increasingly prevalent owing to the rise in ocean temperatures driven by climate change. This study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity, pathogenic potential, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of strains isolated from the southern coastal region of Korea. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and advanced bioinformatics tools, we identified novel sequence types through multilocus sequence typing and serotyped isolates using the VPsero database.

Colorimetric detection of norovirus by helicase-dependent amplification method based on specific primers integrated with HRPzyme.

Noroviruses (NoVs) are the most common causes of epidemic gastroenteritis, responsible for at least 50% of all gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide and significant causes of foodborne illness. In the USA, approximately 21 million illnesses attributable to NoVs have annually occurred. Therefore, there is a great demand to develop a rapid, low-cost, and accurate detection method for NoVs.

Production of monoclonal antibody against Listeria monocytogenes and its application to immunochromatography strip test.

An immunochromatography (ICG) strip test based on a monoclonal antibody for the rapid detection of L. monocytogenes in meat and processed-meat samples was developed in this study. A monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific to L.

Incidence and polymerase chain reaction assay of Listeria monocytogenes from raw milk in Gyeongnam Province of Korea.

A total of 50 raw milk samples from Gyeongnam Province of Korea were examined for the incidence of Listeria monocytogenes between July 1998 and August 1998. L. monocytogenes isolated by biochemical test was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two sets of primers designed from the invasion-associated protein (iap) gene.
