HtrA protein is a member of a serine protease family with dual functions as a protease and molecular chaperone. It is a virulence factor in many bacteria, including the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), which induces listeriosis in humans. Hence, inhibitors of LmHtrA protease have great importance in the control of infection.

causes listeriosis, a serious foodborne illness with a high mortality rate, especially in vulnerable populations. It accounts for 19% of foodborne deaths, with invasive cases having a mortality rate of up to 44%, leading to conditions like meningitis, bacteremia, and meningoencephalitis. However, the prognostic factors remain unclear.

Background/objectives: is a foodborne pathogen that can infect both humans and animals and cause noninvasive gastrointestinal listeriosis or invasive listeriosis. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic diversity of ; the genes associated with its resistance to antibiotics, benzalkonium chloride (BC), and cadmium chloride (CdCl); and its biofilm formation.

Methods: A total of 132 fresh fruits (44 samples) and vegetables (88 samples) were selected for this study.

Article Synopsis
  • * Both isolates shared nearly identical genomic features and contained 13 virulence genes related to invasion, adhesion, and stress response, as well as genes for resistance to fosfomycin and copper.
  • * Notably, the research identified a composite transposon unique to Listeria species, four prophage regions, and performed Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) which indicated a close relationship between the isolates, revealing their potential for transmission.
