The authors have recently developed a new cadmium (Cd) index (Cd standard regression line; CSRL) based on data from uncontaminated samples from many species. However, the samples from wildlife organs are often, and sometimes, we can not remove the...

The invasion ability of Listeria monocytogenes into cultured cells has been used to evaluate its pathogenicity. In this study, invasive ability was investigated using Vero and Caco-2 cell lines. The form of invasion showed no morphological differe...
Some Listeria monocytogenes strains are persistent in food processing environments, where this pathogen may be subjected to various stresses. This study aimed to elucidate the response of persistent strains of L. monocytogenes to low pH and H2O2 e...
