Prediction of Population Behavior of Listeria Monocytogenes in Food Using Machine Learning and a Microbial Growth and Survival Database

Prediction of population behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in food using machine learning and a microbial growth and survival database

In predictive microbiology, statistical models are employed to predict bacterial population behavior in food using environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and water activity. As the amount and complexity of data increase, handling all data with high-dimensional variables becomes a difficult task. We propose a data mining approach to predict bacterial behavior using a database of microbial responses to food environments. Listeria monocytog…

Airborne survival and stress response in Listeria monocytogenes across different growth temperatures

FPSA - Study Shows Food Type Significantly Affects Listeria’s Ability to Survive Digestion, Cause Sickness

A study suggests that some food matrices (i.e., smoked fish and soft cheese) significantly increase the ability of Listeria monocytogenes to adapt, survive digestion, and cause infection. Based on the findings, modulating the fat and protein content in food could be one potential way to reduce L. monocytogenes risk.

Scientists find food type plays a role in Listeria survival

Researchers have studied how different food matrices affect Listeria survival and virulence in the gastrointestinal tract. A study by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna (Vetmeduni) showed that Listeria in fish and cheese are best protected from stress in the gastrointestinal tract. In sausage, the survivability of Listeria is significantly lower. According to researchers, this is due to the different composition of the tested foods.…
