“…Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. This bacterium is commonly present in ready-to-eat foods, which require no further cooking. , It can grow under harsh conditions at temperatures as low as 4 °C, as acidic as pH 4.4, and at salt concentrations ranging up to 10% NaCl. , Infection by Listeria monocytogenes is a leading cause of death among foodborne illnesses. The mortality rate for Listeria monocytogenes ranges from 20 to 30% .…”

Novel affinity agents with high specificity are needed to make progress in disease diagnosis and therapy. Over the last several years, peptides have been considered to have fundamental benefits over other affinity agents, such as antibodies, due to their fast blood clearance, low immunogenicity, rapid tissue penetration, and reproducible chemical synthesis. These features make peptides ideal affinity agents for applications in disease diagnostics and therapeutics for a wide variety of afflictions. Virus-derived peptide techniques provide a rapid, robust, and high-throughput way to identify organism-targeting peptides with high affinity and selectivity. Here, we will review viral peptide display techniques, how these techniques have been utilized to select new organism-targeting peptides, and their numerous biomedical applications with an emphasis on targeted imaging, diagnosis, and therapeutic techniques. In the future, these virus-derived peptides may be used as common diagnosis and therapeutics tools in local clinics.

“…Subsequently, the bacterium goes to the liver and may develop granulomatous hepatitis, due to the invasion of hepatocytes. Afterward, the bacterium is internalized, and, in some cases, there is intracellular proliferation and dissemination to other tissues, with tropism for the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the pregnant uterus [ 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 ].…”

The first traces of Tetracycline (TE) were detected in human skeletons from Sudan and Egypt, finding that it may be related to the diet of the time, the use of some dyes, and the use of soils loaded with microorganisms, such as Streptomyces spp., among other microorganisms capable of producing antibiotics. However, most people only recognise authors dating between 1904 and 1940, such as Ehrlich, Domagk, and Fleming. Antibiotics are the therapeutic option for countless infections treatment; unfortunately, they are the second most common group of drugs in wastewaters worldwide due to failures in industrial waste treatments (pharmaceutics, hospitals, senior residences) and their irrational use in humans and animals. The main antibiotics problem lies in delivered and non-prescribed human use, use in livestock as growth promoters, and crop cultivation as biocides (regulated activities that have not complied in some places). This practice has led to the toxicity of the environment as antibiotics generate eutrophication, water pollution, nutrient imbalance, and press antibiotic resistance. In addition, the removal of antibiotics is not a required process in global wastewater treatment standards. This review aims to raise awareness of the negative impact of antibiotics as residues and physical, chemical, and biological treatments for their degradation. We discuss the high cost of physical and chemical treatments, the risk of using chemicals that worsen the situation, and the fact that each antibiotic class can be transformed differently with each of these treatments and generate new compounds that could be more toxic than the original ones; also, we discuss the use of enzymes for antibiotic degradation, with emphasis on laccases.

“…Найбільш поширені симптоми лістеріозу подібні до прояву гостро-респіраторних інфекцій, що, ймовірно, пояснює заниження виявлення захворювання. Хоча кількість зареєстрованих захворювань лістеріозом відносно низька, частка летальних випадків є високою -30% (Weinsetel, 2006;Batt, 2014;Marquis et al, 2015;Rizzuto & Bakardjiev, 2018).…”

Due to high mortality, listeriosis is one of the most common causes of death from illnesses associated with food, taking the second place after salmonellosis. Listeriosis, as a rule, arises as a result of consumption of contaminated products, including meat products, cheese, ready-to-eat foods. L. monocytogenes belongs to the third group of pathogenicity. Contamination by L. monocytogenes in processing of products is a constant problem in food plants. Food contamination Listeria leads to a withdrawal of products that produces economic losses. Analysis of the dynamic detection and of the differential identification of Listeria spp. in the meat products of poultry processing enterprises in Dnipropetrovsk region was conducted. The research was carried out by Dnipropetrovsk regional state laboratory of the state service of Ukraine for food safety and consumer protection. The results of bacteriological researches of meat samples which poultry plants gave for microbiological analysis during period 2008-2018 were used for monitoring. Microbiological research was carried out in accordance with valid international normative documents. The fluorescence analyzer Mini Vidas, France, the CAMP test were used for analysis. The biochemical properties of isolated microorganisms were established using BioMerieux API tests, France. Analyzing the number of researches and identification of microorganisms in the Dnipropetrovsk region for the period of 11 years, 3001 positive results out of 8172 analyzed samples were found (36.7%). Herewith, part of positive samples goes up from 8.5% in 2008 to 77.9% in 2018. L. ivanovii was isolated in 1523 samples (18.6%), L. inocua -833 (10.2%), L. monocytogenes -493 (6%), L. seeliger -97 (1.2%), L. grayi -36 (0.4%), L. welshimeri in 19 samples of meat products (0.2%) out of the 8172 microbiological studies conducted over 11 years. Of the six types of identified Listeria, more than half were L. ivanovii, which is twice as high as cases with L. incocua and thrice compared to L. monocytogenes. Моніторинг виявленняListeria spp. в м'ясопродуктах птиці у Дніпропетровській області Н.М. Зажарська, І.В. Боровик Дніпровський державний аграрно-економічний університет, м. Дніпро, Україна Через високу летальність, лістеріоз є однією з найчастіших причин смерті від хвороб, пов'язаних з харчовими продуктами, посідаючи друге місце після сальмонельозу. Лістеріоз, зазвичай, виникає в результаті споживання контамінованих продуктів, у тому числі м'ясних і молочних. L. monocytogenes відносять до третьої групи патогенності. Переробні підприємства стикаються з постійною проблемою обсіменіння L. monocytogenes у виробництві. Забруднення харчових продуктів Listeria призводить до відкликання продукції, що спричиняє суттєві економічні збитки. Проведений аналіз динаміки виявлення і диференціальної ідентифікації Listeria spp. в м'ясопродуктах птахопереробних підприємств Дніпропетровщини. Дослідження проводили у Дніпропетровській регіональній державній лабораторії державної служби України з питань безпечності харчових продуктів ...
