Whole genome characterization of Listeria welshimeri isolates recovered from cattle abattoirs and retailers in Gauteng province in South Africa
The study used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to characterize 12 isolates of L. welshimeri recovered from the beef production chain in Gauteng province, South Africa. Two sequence types (STs) were identified, with ST3294 accounting for 75% (9/12) and ST1084 for 16.7% (2/12) of the isolates. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmids detected included conjugative plasmid (MOBP2; T_virB11; virb4) in 58.3% and AMR plasmid (NFO33156) in 41.7% of the isolates. Two AMR genes, fosX (25%) and vga (G) (100%), along with 11 virulence factors, were present in all 12 isolates of L. welshimeri. The phylogenomic tree of L. welshimeri clustering based on the ST according to the source, type, and class of beef and beef products revealed three groups: ST3294 (n = 9), ST1084 (n = 2), and unassigned ST (n = 1). The findings of this study demonstrate the potential for transferring genetic materials from non-pathogenic L. welshimeri to pathogenic L. monocytogenes within the same ecological niche.
期刊介绍:
The JCF publishes peer-reviewed original Research Articles and Opinions that are of direct importance to Food and Feed Safety. This includes Food Packaging, Consumer Products as well as Plant Protection Products, Food Microbiology, Veterinary Drugs, Animal Welfare and Genetic Engineering.
All peer-reviewed articles that are published should be devoted to improve Consumer Health Protection. Reviews and discussions are welcomed that address legal and/or regulatory decisions with respect to risk assessment and management of Food and Feed Safety issues on a scientific basis. It addresses an international readership of scientists, risk assessors and managers, and other professionals active in the field of Food and Feed Safety and Consumer Health Protection.
Manuscripts – preferably written in English but also in German – are published as Research Articles, Reviews, Methods and Short Communications and should cover aspects including, but not limited to:
· Factors influencing Food and Feed Safety
· Factors influencing Consumer Health Protection
· Factors influencing Consumer Behavior
· Exposure science related to Risk Assessment and Risk Management
· Regulatory aspects related to Food and Feed Safety, Food Packaging, Consumer Products, Plant Protection Products, Food Microbiology, Veterinary Drugs, Animal Welfare and Genetic Engineering
· Analytical methods and method validation related to food control and food processing.
The JCF also presents important News, as well as Announcements and Reports about administrative surveillance.
