Parsons C, Azizoglu R, Elhanafi D, Kathariou S
Methods Mol Biol . 2020 Sep; 2220:177-185. PMID: 32975775
Genes that play a role in stress response mechanisms and other phenotypes of Listeria monocytogenes can be identified by construction and screening of mutant libraries. In this chapter, we describe...

Appl Environ Microbiol . 2014 Jun; 80(17):5379-85. PMID: 24951782
The enzyme triphenylmethane reductase (TMR) reduces toxic triphenylmethane dyes into colorless, nontoxic derivatives, and TMR-producing microorganisms have been proposed as bioremediation tools. Analysis of the genome of Listeria monocytogenes H7858...

Methods Mol Biol . 2014 May; 1157:201-11. PMID: 24792560
Genes that play role in stress response mechanisms and other phenotypes of bacteria can be identified by construction and screening of mutant libraries. In this chapter, we describe the construction...

Dutta V, Elhanafi D, Kathariou S
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2013 Jul; 79(19):6067-74. PMID: 23892748
Analysis of a panel of 116 Listeria monocytogenes strains of diverse serotypes and sources (clinical, environment of food processing plants, and food) revealed that all but one of the 71...

Kim J, Dutta V, Elhanafi D, Lee S, Osborne J, Kathariou S
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2012 Jan; 78(6):1995-2004. PMID: 22247158
Listeria monocytogenes epidemic clone II (ECII) strains are unusual in being completely resistant to phage when grown at low temperatures (≤30°C). In the current study we constructed and characterized a...

Elhanafi D, Dutta V, Kathariou S
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2010 Oct; 76(24):8231-8. PMID: 20971860
Quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium chloride (BC) are widely used as disinfectants in both food processing and medical environments. BC-resistant strains of Listeria monocytogenes have been implicated in multistate...

Yildirim S, Elhanafi D, Lin W, Hitchins A, Siletzky R, Kathariou S
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2010 Jun; 76(16):5577-84. PMID: 20581194
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen with a clonal population structure and apparently limited gene flow between strains of different lineages. Strains of epidemic clone I (ECI) have been responsible...

Foodborne Pathog Dis . 2008 Aug; 5(4):387-98. PMID: 18673073
Previous multilocus sequence typing studies of Campylobacter coli from meat animals identified an unusual cluster of strains, primarily from turkeys, termed "cluster II" and characterized by the presence of the...

Appl Environ Microbiol . 2007 Aug; 73(19):6313-6. PMID: 17675434
Variants that lacked reactivity with the serotype 4b-specific monoclonal antibody c74.22 and that lost susceptibility to certain Listeria- or serotype 4b-specific phages were identified in the course of genetic studies...
