Abstract Background Listeria monocytogenes are Gram-positive rods, which are the etiological factor of listeriosis. L. monocytogenes quickly adapts to changing environmental conditions. Since the main source of rods is food, its elimination from the production line is a priority. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of selected stress factors on the growth and survival of L. monocytogenes strains isolated from food products and clinical material. Results We distinguished fifty genetically different strains of L. monocytogenes (PFGE method). Sixty-two percent of the tested strains represented 1/2a-3a serogroup. Sixty percent of the rods possessed ten examined virulence genes (fbpA, plcA, hlyA, plcB, inlB, actA, iap, inlA, mpl, prfA). Listeria Pathogenicity Island 1 (LIPI-1) was demonstrated among 38 (76.0%) strains. Majority (92.0%) of strains (46) were sensitive to all examined antibiotics. The most effective concentration of bacteriophage (inhibiting the growth of 22 strains; 44.0%) was 5 × 108 PFU. In turn, the concentration of 8% of NaCl was enough to inhibit the growth of 31 strains (62.0%). The clinical strain tolerated the broadest pH range (3 to 10). Five strains survived the 60-min exposure to 70˚C, whereas all were alive at each time stage of the cold stress experiment. During the stress of cyclic freezing-defrosting, an increase in the number of bacteria was shown after the first cycle, and a decrease was only observed after cycle 3. The least sensitive to low nutrients content were strains isolated from frozen food. The high BHI concentration promoted the growth of all groups. Conclusions Data on survival in stress conditions can form the basis for one of the hypotheses explaining the formation of persistent strains. Such studies are also helpful for planning appropriate hygiene strategies within the food industry. |
