Insights

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Listeria monocytogenes (LM) from meat is a concern, with a 22.97% pooled multidrug resistance (MDR) prevalence. Key resistances include tetracycline, clindamycin, and penicillin, with no significant impact from study factors.

Area of Science:

  • Food safety and microbiology
  • Veterinary public health
  • Infectious diseases

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in *Listeria monocytogenes* (LM), a significant foodborne pathogen, poses a growing threat to public health.
  • Understanding AMR patterns in LM isolated from meat and meat products is crucial for effective control strategies.

Approach:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, analyzing data from 2000-2022.
  • Published articles were sourced from six major databases, with prevalence and AMR analyzed using MedCalc software.
  • Heterogeneity was assessed using I² and Cochrane Q tests, with sensitivity, subgroup, and meta-regression analyses performed.

Key Points:

  • The pooled prevalence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in *Listeria monocytogenes* isolates from meat was 22.97%.
  • High heterogeneity was observed across studies (I² = 94.82%).
  • The most common antibiotic resistances were to tetracycline, clindamycin, penicillin, ampicillin, and oxacillin.

Conclusions:

  • This meta-analysis offers a comprehensive overview of AMR in *Listeria monocytogenes* from meat sources.
  • No significant influence was found from sampling location, size, or methodology on multidrug resistance outcomes.
  • Continued surveillance and targeted interventions are necessary to mitigate AMR in foodborne pathogens.

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...

Clinical Significance of Antibiotic Resistance

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presents a critical public health threat, arising from its capacity to resist β-lactam antibiotics due to acquisition of the mecA gene within the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). This gene encodes penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), which impairs binding efficacy of methicillin and other β-lactams. MRSA has evolved into distinct clonal lineages impacting humans and animals alike, reinforcing its significance within the One...
