It was aimed at serotyping, genotyping, determining various virulence genes, and investigating antibiotic susceptibilities of Listeria monocytogenes isolates recovered from different sources in the current study. For this purpose, a total of 70 L. monocytogenes isolates including 22 chicken, 20 fish, 18 sheep, and 10 cattle origin were used. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed for serotyping and analysis of virulence genes of the isolates, and also Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC)-PCR was performed for the genotyping. In addition, it was determined the susceptibilities of the isolates against nine different antibiotics via the disk diffusion method. As a result of serotyping, the most detected serogroup in analyzed L. monocytogenes isolates was 1/2a-3a (44.3 %), and but the least detected serogroup 1/2b-3b-7 (11.4 %). ERIC-PCR results revealed a total of 18 different patterns. All isolates were positive for the presence of inlA, inlB, inlC, iap, prfA, actA, hly, plcA, plcB and mpl virulence genes tested. The prevalence of the actA gene in isolates was determined as 70 %. Antibiotic resistance was detected against six antibiotics, and high resistance to oxacillin (80 %) and ciprofloxacin (65.7 %) in the isolates. Furthermore, the rate of multi-drug resistance in L. monocytogenes isolates was 28.5 % (20/70). In conclusion, the present study showed that the sources may pose a potential health risk, according to obtained data on the virulence gene prevalence, serogroup distribution, high genetic heterogeneity, and antibiotic resistance profiles of L. monocytogenes isolates from different sources.

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes human listeriosis and may be transmitted to humans via the food chain, beginning at slaughter and extending through food production and consumption. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis to determine the genetic characteristics of L. monocytogenes from the carcasses and environments of cattle and pig slaughterhouses in Korea.

The widespread habit of consumption of raw meat along with poor hygiene during handling, transportation, and processing are the major contributors to the high prevalence of food-borne diseases in Ethiopia. To assess the occurrences and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of in raw meat, samples were collected from abattoir and butcher shops in Jimma town. A laboratory-based cross-sectional study design was used.

Due to its low cost and simplicity, the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sELISA) is a traditional technique for identifying foodborne pathogens. However, most sELISAs are designed for single foodborne pathogen detection using two specific antibodies, which capture and detect the target bacteria. This study aimed to produce and characterize a common capture polyclonal antibody for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), Salmonella Typhimurium, and Shigella flexneri (S.
