Endolysin, a bacteriophage-derived lytic enzyme, has emerged as a promising alternative antimicrobial agent against rising multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Two novel endolysins LysPEF1-1 and LysPEF1-2 derived from Enterococcus phage PEF1 were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli to test their antimicrobial efficacy against multidrug-resistant E. faecalis strains and their biofilms. LysPEF1-1 comprises an enzymatically active domain and a cell-wall-binding domain originating from the NLPC-P60 and SH3 superfamilies, while LysPEF1-2 contains a putative peptidoglycan recognition domain that belongs to the PGRP superfamily. LysPEF1-1 was active against 89.86% (62/69) of Enterococcus spp. tested, displaying a wider antibacterial spectrum than phage PEF1. Moreover, two endolysins demonstrated lytic activity against additional gram-positive and gram-negative species pretreated with chloroform. LysPEF1-1 showed higher activity against multidrug-resistant E. faecalis strain E5 than LysPEF1-2. The combination of two endolysins effectively reduced planktonic cells of E5 in broth and was more efficient at inhibiting biofilm formation and removing biofilm cells of E. faecalis JCM 7783T than used individually. Especially at 4 °C, they reduced viable biofilm cells by 4.5 log after 2 h of treatment on glass slide surfaces. The results suggest that two novel endolysins could be alternative antimicrobial agents for controlling E. faecalis infections.

Nowadays, the discovery of alternative natural antimicrobial substances such as bacteriophages, essential oils, and other physical and chemical agents is developing in the food industry. In this study, nine bacteriophages were isolated from various parts of raw chickens and exhibited lytic activities against L. monocytogenes and various Listeria spp. The characterization of phage vB_LmoS-PLM9 was stable at 4 to 50 °C and pH range from 4 to 10. Phage vB_LmoS-PLM9 had a circular, double-stranded genomic DNA with 38,345 bp having endolysin but no antibiotic resistance or virulence genes. Among the eight essential oils tested at 10 %, cinnamon bark, and cassia oils showed the strongest antilisterial activities. The combined use of phage vB_LmoS-PLM9 and cinnamon oils indicated higher efficiency than single treatments. The combination of phage (MOI of 10) and both cinnamon oils (0.03 %) reduced the viable counts of L. monocytogenes and inhibited the regrowth of resistant cell populations in broth at 30 °C. Furthermore, treatment with the combination of phage (MOI of 100) and cinnamon oil (0.125 %) was effective in milk, especially at 4 °C by reducing the viable count to less than lower limit of detection. These results suggest combining phage and cinnamon oil is a potential approach for controlling L. monocytogenes in milk.

Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming foodborne pathogen that causes emetic and diarrheal food poisoning. An emetic strain of B. cereus produces spores and an emetic toxin called cereulide, which exhibits high heat resistance. In this study, we investigated the effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), theaflavin-3’-gallate (TF2b), and theaflavin-3,3’-gallate (TF3), polyphenolic components of tea extracts, on the survivability, spores, and toxin of B. cereus. Among them, EGCg at 62.5 μg/mL and 250 μg/mL showed bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects on B. cereus by damaging the cellular membrane, causing leakage of cellular nucleic acid related substances, and thus inhibiting the growth of B. cereus. However, no significant effects were shown on spore germination by EGCg, TF2b, or TF3 at a concentration of 250 μg/mL in this investigation. Their inhibitory effects were primarily confined to the outgrowth of daughter cells after spore germination. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) showed that they suppressed the activity of cesA, a gene associated with cereulide production. At concentrations of 125 µg/mL for TF2b and 62.5 µg/mL for TF3, a discernible attenuation of cytotoxic effects induced by cereulide on HEp-2 cells was evident.

The continuous detection of multi-drug-resistant enterococci in food source environments has aroused widespread concern. In this study, 198 samples from chicken products, animal feces, raw milk, and vegetables were collected in Japan and Egypt to investigate the prevalence of enterococci and virulence characterization. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was employed for species identification and taxonomic analysis of the isolates. The results showed that the rates of most virulence genes (efaA, gelE, asa1, ace, and hyl) in the Japanese isolates were slightly higher than those in the Egyptian isolates. The rate of efaA was the highest (94.9 %) among seven virulence genes detected, but the cylA gene was not detected in all isolates, which was in accordance with γ-type hemolysis phenotype. In Enterococcus faecalis, the rate of kanamycin-resistant strains was the highest (84.75 %) among the antibiotics tested. Moreover, 78 % of E. faecalis strains exhibited multi-drug resistance. Four moderately vancomycin-resistant strains were found in Egyptian isolates, but none were found in Japanese isolates. MALDI-TOF MS analysis correctly identified 98.5 % (68/69) of the Enterococcus isolates. In the principal component analysis dendrogram, strains isolated from the same region with the same virulence characteristics and similar biofilm-forming abilities were characterized by clustered distribution in different clusters. This finding highlights the potential of MALDI-TOF MS for classifying E. faecalis strains from food sources.

Bacillus cereus sensu stricto is a foodborne pathogen that causes food poisoning. Their spore and biofilm-forming abilities persist in various environments and foods. This study investigated the prevalence, virulence, antibiotic resistance, and genetic diversity of B. cereus s. s. strains isolated from various food samples. Of 179 samples, 22.34% were positive for B. cereus s. s., with significantly high detection rates in milk products and raw chicken meat. Forty strains were isolated from positive samples. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry analysis revealed nine distinct clusters and multi-locus sequence typing revealed 34 sequence types including 23 novel sequences, demonstrating high genetic diversity among the isolates. PCR analysis revealed that all the strains contained at least one toxin gene, but none contained the cytK gene. Antibiotic resistance tests revealed that all isolates were classified as multidrug-resistant, with high resistance levels, particularly to β-lactam antibiotics and vancomycin, but were susceptible to gentamicin. All isolates showed variations in biofilm formation. This study highlights the significant public health risk due to B. cereus s. s. and underscores the need for stringent monitoring and control measures in food production to manage antimicrobial resistance and ensure food safety.

Phage-encoded peptidoglycanases (phage endolysins) are hydrolyzing enzymes that break peptidoglycan bonds within infected bacterial cell walls at the end of the lytic cycle. They are promising antibacterial agents capable of controlling major foodborne pathogens. Here, we cloned, overexpressed, and purified the phage-encoded protein LysCPQ7, a putative endolysin from the Clostridium perfringens phage CPQ7. The predicted amino acid sequence indicated that LysCPQ7 exhibited amidase activity to digest the peptidoglycan bond between muramic acid and peptide in bacterial cell walls. LysCPQ7 was characterized as an alkalophilic and thermostable endolysin. It exhibited the highest lytic activity against C. perfringens cells at pH values ranging from 9.0 to 11.0, and was stable at temperatures from −20 to 60 °C. The lytic activity of LysCPQ7 was not significantly (p < 0.05) influenced in the absence/presence of 100, 200, and 300 mM of NaCl. The antibacterial test confirmed that LysCPQ7 reduced the viability of C. perfringens cells by 4.1 log after 6 h of incubation in broth. LysCPQ7 significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the viability of C. perfringens in artificially-contaminated milk and sliced cheese under refrigeration and room temperatures. Our results showed that LysCPQ7 has great potential as a newly emerging biocontrol agent against C. perfringens in dairy and fermented food products.

Pseudomonas spp., such as P. fluorescens group, P. fragi, and P. putida, are the major psychrophilic spoilage bacteria in the food industry. Bacteriophages (phages) are a promising tool for controlling food-spoilage and food-poisoning bacteria; however, there are few reports on phages effective on food-spoilage bacteria such as Pseudomonas spp. In this study, 12 Pseudomonas phages were isolated from chicken and soil samples. Based on the host range and lytic activity at 30 °C and 4 °C and various combinations of phages, phages vB_PflP-PCS4 and vB_PflP-PCW2 were selected to prepare phage cocktails to control Pseudomonas spp. The phage cocktail consisting of vB_PflP-PCS4 and vB_PflP-PCW2 showed the strongest lytic activity and retarded regrowth of P. fluorescens and P. putida at 30 °C, 8 °C, and 4 °C at a multiplicity of infection of 100. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the genomic DNA indicated that vB_PflP-PCS4 and vB_PflP-PCW2 phages were lytic phages of the Podoviridae family and lacked tRNA, toxin, or virulence genes. A novel endolysin gene was found in the genomic DNA of phage vB_PflP-PCS4. The results of this study suggest that the phage cocktail consisting of vB_PflP-PCS4 and vB_PflP-PCW2 is a promising tool for the biocontrol of psychrophilic food-spoilage pseudomonads during cold storage and distribution.

Aims: The study was to identify the genes involved in phage resistance and to develop an effective biocontrol method to improve the lytic activity of phages against foodborne pathogens. Methods and results: A total of 3,909 single gene-deletion mutants of Escherichia coli BW25113 from the Keio collection were individually screened for genes involved in phage resistance. Phage S127BCL3 isolated from chicken liver, infecting both E. coli BW25113 and O157: H7, was characterized and used for screening. The 10 gene-deletion mutants showed increased susceptibility to phage S127BCL3. Among them, priA gene-deletion mutant strain showed significant susceptibility to the phages S127BCL3 and T7. Furthermore, we investigated the substances that have been reported to inhibit the function of primosomal protein A (PriA) and were used to confirm increased phage susceptibility in E. coli BW25113 (Parent strain) and O157: H7. Conclusion: PriA inhibitors at a low concentration showed combined effects with phage against E. coli O157: H7 and delayed the regrowth rate of phage-resistant cells.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is one of important vegetables taken as raw state. It is expected to be kept as high quality under low temperature conditions, especially freezing state. However, there are few research regarding to its molecular response to abiotic stress of lettuce. As we reported previously, lettuce plants acquire low levels of freeze tolerance. In the present paper, we have isolated 192 cDNA clones corresponding to cold induced genes of lettuce plant by using a PCR–based suppression subtractive hybridization method. Most clones were categorized into 62 distinct known genes based on homology search. Out of the corresponding genes, 45 genes were confirmed to be low–temperature–inducible with reverse transcriptionqPCR. Some of the genes encoded stress–related proteins, such as late embryogenesis abundant proteins including dehydrin, which were expected to be involved in enhancement of freezing tolerance. On the other hand, some of proteins encoded by genes were suspected to be involved in suppressing the enhancement of freezing tolerance, such as vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE), adagio protein, and gigantea–like protein. In particular, VPE have been reported to be associated with program cell death, suggesting that it is negatively involved in freezing tolerance of lettuce.

Contaminated food with antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus spp. could be the vehicle for transmitting Enterococcus to humans and accordingly cause a public health problem. The accumulation of biogenic amines produced by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) in food may have cytological effects. Bacteriophages (phage in short) are natural antimicrobial agents and can be used alone or in combination with other food preservatives to reduce food microbial contaminants. The aim of this study was to isolate a novel phage against E. faecalis and determine its host range to evaluate its potential application. Bacteriophage, vB_EfKS5, with a broad host range, was isolated to control the growth of E. faecalis. The vB_EfKS5 genome is 59,246 bp in length and has a GC content of 39.7%. The computational analysis of phage vB_EfKS5 genome confirmed that it does not contain any lysogenic, toxic, or virulent genes. Phage vB_EfKS5 exhibited lytic activity against most E. faecalis isolates with different multiplicities of infections and it infected 75.5% (22/29) of E. faecalis isolates and 42.3% (3/7) of E. faecium isolates. It was also able to destroy the biofilm formed by E. faecalis with different MOIs. Phage vB_EfKS5 alone or in combination with nisin could control the growth of E. faecalis in broth and milk. Based on its high productivity, stability, short latent period, and large burst size, phage vB_EfKS5 has a high potential for applications both in food and medical applications.

Aims: Isolation and characterization of Enterococcus phages and application of phage cocktail to control E. faecalis in milk. Methods and Results: For phage isolations, double layer agar method was used. Host range of the phages were determined by the spot test. Twelve phages with varying host ranges were isolated. Phages PEF1, PEF7b, and PEF9 with different host ranges and lytic activities were selected for phage cocktails. Compared to two-phages cocktails tested, the cocktail containing all the three phages displayed stronger antibacterial and biofilm removal activities. The cocktail treatment reduced viable E. faecalis in biofilm by 6 log within 6 h at both 30◦C and 4◦C. In milk, the cocktail gradually reduced the viable count of E. faecalis and the count reached below the lower limit of detection at 48 h at 4◦C. Conclusion: The strong bactericidal and biofilm removal activities of the phage cocktail suggest the potential of this cocktail as a natural biocontrol agent for combating E. faecalis in milk.

Salmonella spp., one of the most frequently reported bacteria, causes foodborne illness and economic losses. Due to the threat of increasing antibiotic resistant foodborne pathogens, application of bacteriophages as novel antibacterial agents in food matrices has become an emerging strategy. In this study, a novel Salmonella phage PS3-1 with high lytic activity against Salmonella Typhimurium was identified from previously isolated phages. PS3-1 belonged to the class Caudoviricetes with a broad host range, and had relatively short latent period (15 min), large burst size (92 PFU/cell), high pH stability (pH 3.0–11.0) and thermal tolerance (4–60 °C). Genome sequencing analysis showed that PS3-1 genome consisted of 107,110 bp DNA, without antibiotic resistance and virulence related genes. The results of growth curve and time-kill assay showed that PS3-1 not only inhibited the growth of S. Typhimurium, but also effectively decreased the viable cell counts (0.30–4.72 log) after 24-h incubation at 7, 25 and 37 °C (P < 0.05). Moreover, >1.28 log of established biofilm cells were effectively removed after 24-h treatment with PS3-1. Besides, PS3-1 significantly reduced the viability of S. Typhimurium in milk, lettuce, raw pork meat and ready-to-eat steamed-chicken breast at different temperatures (P < 0.05). These results demonstrated that PS3-1 may be an excellent antibacterial agent for controlling S. Typhimurium in food industry.

This study investigated the prevalence, serotype, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence potential, and biofilm formation of Listeria monocytogenes isolated in 2022 in Japan and compared their profiles with those of isolates in 2012 and 2017. A total of 85 chicken samples were randomly collected from different supermarkets in Fukuoka in 2022. L. monocytogenes were isolated by conventional method and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS. Among 85 samples tested in 2022, 9 (10.6%) were positive for L. monocytogenes and 17 strains were isolated from the positive samples. The isolates were serotyped as 1/2b (41.2%), 3a (29.4%), 3b (23.5%) and 1/2a (5.9%). Antimicrobial susceptibility tests of the 2022 isolates showed susceptibility to majority of the antibiotics, except cefoxitin, oxacillin, and fosfomycin. Compared to the previous surveillance results, the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in 2022 (10.6%) was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those of the isolates in 2017 (24%) and 2012 (52.9%). The distribution of serotypes 1/2a and 1/2b decreased over time, and serotype 4b was not detected in the 2022 isolates. The proportion of multidrug resistant strains in 2022 (16.7%) was significantly lower than those in 2012 (46.7%) and 2017 (82.6%). Moreover, a total of 36 isolates (12 isolates/ year) were used to detect the virulence genes (hlyA, plcA, clpC, and inlA) and biofilm-forming capacity. Most of the isolates from different years harboured four virulence genes. The biofilm formation of the 2022 isolates was significantly weaker (p < 0.05) than those of the 2012 and 2017 isolates. Thus, despite the low rates of contamination in chicken meat and AMR of the isolates, virulent L. monocytogenes contamination in food should still be acknowledged.

This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, antibiotic resistance, and biofilm formation of Escherichia coli in the Vietnamese Pangasius fish processing facility. Among 144 samples including Pangasius fish, wash water, food contact surfaces, and personnel gloves, 18 E. coli isolates was detected and characterized. The E. coli was detected most frequently in wash water samples (22%, 8/36), followed by Pangasius fish (18%, 8/45). According to the antibiotic susceptibility test by the disc diffusion method, isolates showed the highest resistance against sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (45%), followed by tetracycline (39%), whereas all the E. coli isolates were susceptible to meropenem and fosfomycin. Notably, 39% of the isolates (7/18) were found to be multidrug resistant while no E. coli isolates were confirmed as extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers by the double-disk synergy test. The potency to form biofilm on the polystyrene surface of E. coli isolates indicated that 44% of the isolates (8/18) were classified as weak, 39% (7/18) as moderate, and 17% (3/18) as strong biofilm formers. Interestingly, multidrug resistant E. coli isolates were observed in moderate and strong biofilm producers. Additionally, either slightly acidic hypochlorous water with 40 mg/L of available chlorine or sodium hypochlorite with 100 mg/L of available chlorine exhibited a significant reduction in biofilm mass and biofilm cells of E. coli isolates. This study may provide helpful information about the actual state of E. coli isolates for effective control in the fish processing plant.

<p>Bacterial persister cells are metabolically dormant cells in which cell activities such as protein synthesis and cell division are somehow drastically slowed down, so that they can survive under intensive antibiotic treatment that targets such cell activities. This review summarizes information about persister cells such as their history, definition, mechanism of formation, threats to clinical environments, and how to control them. In addition to such information, this review also introduces our recent studies on the physical stress tolerance of persister cells and their possible control in food environments. We demonstrated that some bacterial persister cells are indeed highly heat and acid tolerant compared to normal cells, although diversity was discovered in persister cell populations. We also found that indole and its derivatives or acetic acid are promising candidates for persister cell eradication in food environments. We believe that this review will aid in wider attention to and understanding of the importance of these quiet yet clever bacterial persister cells.</p>

Bacterial food poisoning cases due to Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 have been linked with the consumption of a variety of food products, threatening public health around the world. This study describes the combined effects of a phage cocktail (STG2, SEG5, and PS5), EDTA, nisin, and polylysine against the bacterial cocktail consisting of S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, and E. coli O157:H7. Overall, phage cocktail (alone or in combination with nisin or/and polylysine) not only showed great antibacterial effects against bacterial cocktail at different temperatures (4 °C, 24 °C, and 37 °C), but also totally inhibited the emergence of phage resistance during the incubation period. These results suggest that the combination of phages with nisin or/and polylysine has great potential to simultaneously control S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, and E. coli O157:H7.

Biofilm formation of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing environments cause potential source of cross-contamination to foodstuffs; hence, the control of biofilm is currently addressed to find effective solutions for preventing biofilm formation or eliminating the established one. Forty‐five strains of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from Pangasius fish‐processing plants were studied for their capability to form a biofilm on 96‐well microtiter plate by using the conventional crystal violet staining. Additionally, the inhibitory effect of biofilm formation by food additives including monascus pigment and ε‐polylysine was examined. The average OD value showing biofilm mass of all 45 strains L. monocytogenes increased with an increasing temperature and time (p < 0.05). Monascus pigment and ε‐polylysine significantly decreased biofilm formation by 80 ± 5.5% and 20 ± 5.9%, respectively, at the tested concentration (p < 0.05) Further, the effects of lysozyme (0.1 mg/mL) alone or in combination with slightly acidic hypochlorous water (SAHW) with 40 mg/L available chlorine or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) with 100 mg/L available chlorine against 7‐d established biofilm of L. monocytogenes were investigated. The results indicated that slightly acidic hypochlorous water alone exhibited significant antibacterial activity (p < 0.05), decreasing the viable count by 5.2 ± 0.5 log CFU/mL. It seems that sequential treatment of lysozyme and SAHW showed an additional efficacy against biofilm of L. monocytogenes on polystyrene plate surface, reducing 70% of biomass of biofilm and 7.6 ± 0.3 log of biofilm viable cells (p < 0.05). Additionally, SAHW exhibited greater bactericidal activity against viable biofilm cells than NaOCl did. This result reveals that SAHW is a promising disinfectant agent against L. monocytogenes and the potential alternative to NaOCl in practice.

As one major foodborne pathogen, Salmonella can cause serious food poisoning outbreaks worldwide. Bacteriophage therapy is increasingly considered as one of the promising antibacterial agents for the biocontrol of foodborne pathogens. In the current study, a lytic phage STG2 capable of infecting S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium was characterized, and its efficacy in reducing these foodborne pathogens in both planktonic and biofilm forms was evaluated on cabbage and various surfaces. Genomic characterization revealed that phage STG2 was Siphoviridae phage (Epseptimavirus genus) with a dsDNA genome comprising of 114,275 bp and its genome does not contain any genes associated to antibiotic resistance, toxins, lysogeny, or virulence factors. Additionally, phage STG2 exhibited great efficacy in reducing (>2 Log) planktonic cells on cabbage as well as the biofilms formed on cabbage, polystyrene, and stainless steel, suggesting that phage STG2 is capable of simultaneously controlling both S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium contaminations on food and food-related surfaces.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the most prevalent foodborne pathogens responsible for food poisoning and is spread through the consumption of contaminated poultry products. In this study, four antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with varying hydrophobicity and helical structure-forming tendencies were designed and synthesized based on the amino acid sequences of peptides from egg white hydrolysate. Two of these AMPs, P1R3 (KSWKKHVVSGFFLR) and P1C (KSWKKHVVSGFFLRLWVHKK), exhibited inhibitory activity against S. Typhimurium and compromised its biofilm-forming ability. Investigation of their modes of action revealed that P1R3 and P1C interact with and permeabilize the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, leading to membrane potential dissipation, damage to membrane integrity, and consequent bacterial death. P1R3 also bound to S. Typhimurium DNA, resulting in DNA aggregation or precipitation. Moreover, both peptides showed negligible cytotoxicity to Vero cells, and P1C displayed significant antimicrobial activity in chicken meat. Peptides P1R3 and P1C, therefore, have the potential to be developed as promising food preservatives, especially against pathogenic S. Typhimurium.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that can persist in leafy green vegetables and subsequently produce biofilms. Biofilm formation is an ongoing concern in the food industry as biofilms are relatively resistant to a variety of antimicrobial treatments. In the present study, we evaluated the combined effects of phage FP43 and mild-heated slightly acidic hypochlorous water (SAHW) in reducing established biofilms on lettuce. Prior to the sequential treatments involving phage-SAHW and SAHW-phage for long-term storage, equal inoculum densities of E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli O91:H- were added on iceberg lettuce surfaces and the lettuce samples were stored at 10 °C for 48 h to allow biofilm formation. The sequential treatment with phage FP43 and SAHW significantly decreased the number of adhered cells, especially the combination of phage FP43 at 25 °C for 2 h and mild-heated SAHW, which considerably eliminated E. coli viable biofilm cells to undetectable levels (>3 log CFU/piece). However, the biofilms were not completely removed, as evidenced via SEM observation. Additionally, sequential treatment with SAHW and phage caused continuous reductions in viable counts, decreasing the viability of E. coli O157:H7 and total E. coli to the lower limit of detection after incubation for 5 d. Meanwhile, bacterial regrowth was observed after treatment with SAHW alone. These results indicated that the combination of phage and SAHW could be considered as a promising strategy to control the formation of E. coli O157:H7 biofilms on lettuce.

Clostridium perfringens is one of the most important foodborne pathogens in developed countries. It causes severe food poisoning outbreaks worldwide, along with mortality and economic losses. Recently, bacteriophages have been investigated as an alternative tool to control pathogenic bacteria in the food industry. In this study, 19 Clostridium perfringens and 6 Clostridium perfringens bacteriophages were isolated from chicken meat. According to host range and stability tests, bacteriophage CPQ1 showed high thermostability and the broadest host range. The electron micrograph image of this bacteriophage suggested that it belongs to the Picovirinae subfamily of the Podoviridae family. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the genomic DNA indicated the absence of any antibiotic resistance, toxin, or virulence genes. In broth, CPQ1 showed strong lytic activity with a low MOI of 1, decreasing the OD600 of Clostridium perfringens cell suspension from 0.2 to 0.02 at 37 °C in 2 h. In pasteurized milk and chicken meat, CPQ1 with an MOI of 10 also caused a significant decrease in viable counts of Clostridium perfringens compared to the bacteriophageless control at both 24 °C and 37 °C. This is the first report on the application of bacteriophage to control Clostridium perfringens in foods.

The gene encoding LysSTG2, a novel endolysin from Salmonella-lytic bacteriophage STG2, has been cloned, overexpressed, and characterized previously. In this study, LysSTG2 was used to control Pseudomonas aeruginosa and P. putida, which showed high sensitivity to LysSTG2, in bottled water, milk, chicken breast, salmon, and the biofilms formed on the surface of polystyrene resin and stainless steel. In bottled water, LysSTG2 combined with EDTA reduced the viable counts of P. aeruginosa and P. putida by 2.2 log and to lower than the limit of detection, respectively. However, there was no significant decrease in viable counts in pasteurized milk artificially contaminated with these bacteria. Meanwhile, the addition of 1 mg/mL LysSTG2 alone reduced the viable counts of P. aeruginosa and P. putida by 0.6 log in chicken and 1.1 log in salmon samples contaminated with these bacteria, respectively. Further reduction in viable counts in combination with EDTA was not observed. Additionally, a strong effect of LysSTG2 on the removal of P. aeruginosa and P. putida biofilms was observed on the polystyrene resin and stainless steel surfaces, displaying more than 99.9% decrease in viable biofilm cells after 2 h of treatment at 37 °C. The results of this study suggest that LysSTG2 has the potential to control both planktonic and biofilm cells of Pseudomonas. Further investigations are required to optimize and improve the use of the endolysin for application in food and food processing facilities.

<p>This study illustrates the effectiveness of slightly acidic hypochlorous water (SAHW) in comparison with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in reducing biomass and viable cells in biofilms established by the dual species, <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i>, on a microtiter plate and stainless-steel coupon. The SAHW and NaOCl treatments exhibited significant efficacy against biofilms (<i>p</i> < 0.05) on both surfaces. Additionally, compared with NaOCl treatment, SAHW treatment significantly reduced biofilm formation (<i>p</i> < 0.05). With its high antibiofilm activity, SAHW not only reduced the biomass of biofilms, but also significantly decreased viable biofilm cells to 5 log CFU/mL or ≤1 log CFU/cm2 on microtiter plates and stainless-steel surfaces, respectively. These results indicate that SAHW is a potential candidate for disinfectants against biofilms on various food contact surfaces.</p>

<p>In this study, the occurrence, serogroups, virulence genes, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and diversity were estimated for <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> isolated from <i>Pangasius</i> fish in two processing facilities in Vietnam. <i>L. monocytogenes</i> was most frequently detected in wash water samples at 20.8% (15 out of 72), and in <i>Pangasius</i> fish it was 16.6% (15 out of 90 fish samples). Serotypes 1/2b were dominant, and internalin genes (<i>inlA, inlC</i>, and <i>inlJ</i>) were found in all the <i>L. monocytogenes</i> isolates. Most of the isolates were resistant to cefoxitin, oxacillin, and fosfomycin. Genotyping of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis revealed three clusters of the isolates specific to the facilities to some extent. This study suggests a high risk of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> contamination from wash water to fish. Hence, maintaining the quality of water and designing sanitation procedures to reduce <i>L. monocytogenes</i> contamination are required to ensure food safety at <i>Pangasius</i> fish processing plants.</p>

The pathogenicity of Salmonella Typhimurium, a foodborne pathogen, is mainly attributed to its ability to form biofilm on food contact surfaces. ε-polylysine, a polymer of positively charged lysine, is reported to inhibit biofilm formation of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. To elucidate the mechanism underlying ε-polylysine-mediated inhibition of biofilm formation, the transcriptional profiles of ε-polylysine-treated and untreated Salmonella Typhimurium cells were comparatively analysed. The genome-wide DNA microarray analysis was performed using Salmonella Typhimurium incubated with 0.001% ε-polylysine in 0.1% Bacto Soytone at 30 °C for 2 h. The expression levels of genes involved in curli amyloid fibres and cellulose production, quorum sensing, and flagellar motility were downregulated, whereas those of genes associated with colanic acid synthesis were upregulated after treatment with ε-polylysine. The microarray results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, treatment with ε-polylysine decreased the production of colanic acid in Salmonella Typhimurium. The findings of this study improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying ε-polylysine-mediated biofilm inhibition and may contribute to the development of new disinfectants to control biofilm during food manufacturing and storage.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the antibacterial action of two high potential and natural food additives, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and theaflavin-3,3′-digallate (TF3), on Clostridium perfringens. Methods and Results: Minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined by the serial dilution method. Afterwards, the cells were treated with 250 or 1000 mg l
⁻¹
of EGCg and 125 or 500 mg l
⁻¹
of TF3 and morphological changes were observed and cell sizes were also measured under fluorescence microscopy. Our results showed that TF3 had a twice stronger antibacterial activity than EGCg against C. perfringens. Phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy confirmed that the bacterial cells elongated without DNA segregation and septum formation in the presence of 250 mg l
⁻¹
EGCg. While in the higher concentration of EGCg and TF3, cell growth was suppressed. Bacterial cells reached to around 12 μm after the 24 h incubation with 250 mg l
⁻¹
EGCg, but the cells were shorter than the control at 1000 mg l
⁻¹
of EGCg. After washing and incubating the elongated cells in fresh medium, DNA segregated at 2 h of incubation. The average cell length decreased gradually and reached the normal size at 8 h. Conclusion: It seems that EGCg at a low concentration affected the proteins involved in the septum formation, DNA segregation and cell division. Furthermore, the high concentration of EGCg and TF3 seemed to cause stronger cellular damage to C. perfringens. Significance and Impact of the Study: These polyphenols are widely distributed in all higher plants especially in tea plants, and people tend to use natural food additives rather than synthetic ones. EGCg and TF3, as natural food additives, can prevent C. perfringens food poisoning along with other potential health benefits.
