Poor detection of low-virulence field strains of L. monocytogenes is related to selective agents in selective media and is unrelated to PrfA.

Abstract:

:We have previously shown a relationship between the virulence level of Listeria monocytogenes strains and their detection on PALCAM medium. To account for the fact that only 40% of low-virulence field strains of L. monocytogenes were detected on PALCAM medium compared to 92% on ALOA medium, the detection of virulent and low-virulence strains on decomposed selective ALOA and PALCAM media was compared. This showed that better detection of the strains was not explained by the growth factors added to the ALOA medium. On the other hand, the presence of acriflavine in the PALCAM medium partly explained the delay in detection of the low-virulence strains, while the presence of ceftazidime was related to growth inhibition. However, the effect of these two components was modified when they were combined in the PALCAM medium. As some of these low-virulence strains had an inactive PrfA (the transcriptional activator of the main virulence genes of L. monocytogenes), its role in the poor detection of these low-virulence strains was investigated. However, complementing these strains with the wild-type prfA gene or deleting the prfA gene from a virulent strain suggested that this poor detection was unrelated to PrfA, but was related to their higher susceptibility to the antimicrobial components in the selective media.
