- Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a food pathogen with high mortality and severe symptoms such as gastrointestinal, sepsis, neurological disorders in immuno-suppressed individuals. The mortality rate of listeriosis is about 25% and the rate of hospitalization is over 95%. For this reason, it is still an increasing problem of food safety. One of the most important problems of food processing environments is the struggle against L. monocytogenes because of its ability to survive for long time under adverse conditions and to be capable of producing biofilm. As a starting point in this struggle, it is necessary for anti-listerial applications to know the ways in which microorganisms are contaminated and the factors contributing to their growth and spread. In line with this information, an effective struggle can be achieved with properly designed facilities and equipment, cleaning and sanitation programs, staff training and continuous monitoring systems. However, despite increased awareness and precautions, L. monocytogenes are detected in some food processing facilities and in foods. This necessitates many new approaches such as the use of antimicrobial compounds in combating against Listeria, ohmic heating, high pressure application and cold plasma technique. In this review, growth conditions of L. monocytogenes, potential sources of contamination, applications to be made in food processing plants and new approaches to struggle are given.
