“…A pesar de que pocos pacientes contaron con una encuesta alimentaria luego del diagnóstico, en los casos que se hizo, se pudo identificar algún alimento sospechoso: quesos o productos lácteos no pasteurizados, cecinas y/o alimentos preparados. En todos ellos se ha encontrado evidencia de contaminación por L. monocytogenes en Chile 26,27 y han sido ampliamente vinculados a casos esporádicos o brotes comunitarios 2,3,42,47,48 lo que sugiere un posible rol causal y deja en evidencia la gran deuda educativa que existe sobre estos pacientes susceptibles. Las recomendaciones para estos pacientes incluyen evitar el consumo de embutidos, a menos que se recalienten hasta temperatura de cocción, evitar que el líquido de alimentos crudos contamine en forma cruzada otros alimentos, lavarse las manos después de preparar embutidos y carnes, no consumir quesos gourmet o blancos, paté o pastas de carne refrigeradas y mariscos o pescados ahumados refrigerados.…”

“…El uso de una terapia combinada se mantiene en la polémica debido a la publicación de series más recientes que no han observado ventajas en sobrevida 36,50 . En nuestra serie de pacientes se observó una elevada letalidad (34,8%), similar a lo registrado en otras series con rangos de 9 a 50% 2,23,25,34,47,48 . Se han identificado varios factores asociados a un desenlace fatal en cuadros de listeriosis en la literatura médica, que incluyen falla renal, uso de corticosteroides, edad mayor, cáncer y alcoholismo 50,51 .…”

“…Após um surto de listeriose ocorrido em 1985 na Califórnia, avaliou-se a participação de produtos cárneos como veículos da infecção, sugerindo que 10% dos 1600 casos anuais de listeriose nos Estados Unidos resultaram do consumo de produtos cárneos inadequadamente cozidos (SCHWARTZ et al, 1988). O envolvimento desses alimentos em surtos e casos esporádicos de listeriose humana ficou comprovado em diversos países (KERR; DEALLER; LACEY, 1988;CANTONI;BALZARETTI;VALENTI, 1989;KACZMARSKI;JONES, 1989;PETERKIN, 1991;RYSER;MARTH, 1991;BADER, 1993;GOULET et al, 1995;JACQUET et al, 1995).…”

ResumoO objetivo desta pesquisa foi estabelecer a ocorrência de Listeria monocytogenes em diversos pontos de plantas de processamento de carne bovina em 01 abatedouro e 05 casas de carnes localizados na região norte do Paraná. Para a detecção de Listeria spp. em 124 amostras de equipamentos/utensílios e instalações, utilizou-se a metodologia preconizada pelo United States Departament of Agriculture (USDA), com identificação das espécies por testes bioquímicos e posterior confirmação pelo API Listeria (bioMérieux). Os resultados obtidos indicaram freqüências de 6,25% de L. monocytogenes; 68,75% de L. innocua; 18,75% de L. welshimeri; 4,17% de L. seeligeri e 2,08% de L. grayi. As amostras positivas para L. monocytogenes tiveram origem em equipamentos de casa de carnes como caixas plásticas e amaciador. Palavras-chave: Listeria monocytogenes, processamento de carne, equipamentos, planta de processamento de carne. AbstractThe goal of this research was to establish the occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes in several points of meat processing plants such as 01 slaughterhouse and 05 butcher's shops sited at north region of Paraná State. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) isolation methodology of Listeria spp. was used in 124 samples of equipments/utensils and environmental sources, with species identification by biochemical tests and confirmation by API Listeria (bioMérieux). The results showed frequencies of 6,25% for L. monocytogenes; 68,75% for L. innocua; 18,75 for L. welshimeri; 4,17% for L. seeligeri and 2,08% of L. grayi. The positive samples for L. monocytogenes were equipments of butcher's shops, as plastic boxes and tendering machine.

“…Sporadic human cases of listeriosis have also been epidemiologically linked to the consumption of undercooked poultry products (32). Analysis of risk factors associated with infections in the United States has indicated that can-cer patients and immunocompromised individuals, in whom 69% of listeriosis cases occur, were more likely than control subjects to have eaten undercooked poultry (odds ratio 5 3.3) (34).…”

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction was developed to simultaneously identify Listeria monocytogenes and species of the genus Listeria. Two sets of primers were used, with the first amplifying a 938-bp region of the 16S rRNA gene that is highly conserved in all Listeria species and the second amplifying a 174-bp region of the listeriolysin (hlyA) gene of L. monocytogenes. Thus, isolates of Listeria spp. yield a single 938-bp product, whereas L. monocytogenes isolates yield both the 938-bp product and a 174-bp product. The specificity of the assay was verified with all six Listeria species and 11 serotypes of L. monocytogenes, as well as nonrelated bacteria. The multiplex PCR assay was used to determine the incidence of Listeria spp., especially L. monocytogenes, in mechanically separated turkey samples (n = 150 samples). L. monocytogenes strains were selected by using the University of Vermont two-step enrichment protocol and plating to selective Palcam agar. The multiplex PCR assay was used for verification of presumptive Listeria colonies. Approximately 38% of mechanically separated turkey samples (57 of 150) yielded L. monocytogenes; an additional 18% of these samples (27 of 150) harbored other Listeria spp. Fifty-one percent (29 of 57) of the L. monocytogenes isolates were of serogroup 1, 44% (25 of 57) were of serogroup 4, and 2% (1 of 57) were assigned to serogroups other than 1 and 4.
