Environmental adaptations of special food safety
relevance
• Resistance to disinfectant (quaternary
ammonium compounds) via novel genes
• Resistance via mutations in pre-existing genes
(efflux systems etc)
• Thermoregulated phage resistance

Special adaptations : Multi-resistance island on plasmid of Listeria
(1998-1999 hot dog outbreak) confers resistance to quaternary
ammonium compounds

Tn6188 (mostly serotype 1/2a), chromosomal, resistance to quats and ethidium bromide
Disinfectant resistance elements (bcrABC, Tn6188):
• Potential roles in persistence?
• Potential for dissemination among listeriae?
• Reservoir strains?
• Differences from resistance
• via mutations of pre-existing genes?

Ecology
• Deciphering the elements of the environmentfood-host continuum
• Special emphasis on soil as potential Listeria
reservoir : impact of abiotic and biotic factors
• Breakdown of chitin: paradigm for environmenthost linkages
• Distribution of specific serotypes and genotypes
in environment, food, illness
