Étude des interconnexions dans les réseaux de régulation de Listeria monocytogenes en réponse aux conditions de l'environnement

2019

The facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a highly adaptable organism widely distributed in the environment. The ingestion of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes by at-risk individuals can ultimately lead to listeriosis, one of the leading causes of food-borne fatalities in developed countries. Regulatory networks are crucial for the adaptation and survival of this pathogen. The accessory gene regulator (Agr) system has been shown to be involved in virulence, biofilm formation, and survival of L. monocytogenes, affecting the transcription of over 700 genes. The alternative sigma factor Sigma B (σB) controls the general stress response in L. monocytogenes, regulati…

Single cell analysis evidence Heterogeneous expression of the Agr communication system of Listeria monocytogenes

2012

http://prodinra.inra.fr/record/271694EAMERSCT3 EJ3; Communication, often referred as Quorum Sensing, is involved in the adaptation of most bacteria to their environment. In the genus Listeria, the agr communication system affects the biology of Listeria monocytogenes during saprophytic life (biofilm formation) and during infection. In the present study, we investigated in situ agr expression of six isolates of L. monocytogenes by combining gfp reporters, flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy during plantonic growth and dynamic flow cell biofilm set ups. Unexpectedly, during growth in TSB homogenised liquid cultures incubated at 25°C, while auto-inducer concentration was uniform, statist…

Etude du système AGR par caractérisation de mutants de Listeria monocytogènes

2012

EA MERS CT3 (vu DM) EJ3; Master; L’adaptation des bactéries à leur environnement fait intervenir différents mécanismes dont la communication cellulaire. Chez Listeria monocytogenes, le système agr est le seul système de communication cellulaire actuellement décrit. L’implication du système agr dans l’adaptation de L. monocytogenes aux changements de conditions environnementales a été étudiée au travers la caractérisation de deux mutants DG342M et DG343M. L’analyse des séquences et des transcrits par RTqPCR a montré que l’insertion du mariner avait un effet polaire sur l’expression du gène codant une phosphodiestérase (lmo2642), enzyme responsable de l’hydrolyse de l’AMPc. L’analyse a égalem…

International audience; The facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can persist and grow in a diverse range of environmental conditions, both outside and within its mammalian host. The alternative sigma factor Sigma B (sigma(B)) plays an important role in this adaptability and is critical for the transition into the host. While some of the functions of the sigma(B) regulon in facilitating this transition are understood the role of sigma(B)-dependent small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) remain poorly characterized. In this study, we focused on elucidating the function of Rli47, a sigma(B)-dependent sRNA that is highly induced in the intestine and in macrophages. Using a combinatio…

Essential oils as multi-target compounds for novel food safety strategies

This research work has been developed in the context of the potencial applications of essential oils as multi-target compounds for novel food safety strategies, such as active packaging technologies. Essential oils are aromatic oils derived from plants and usually extracted by hydrodistillation when intended to be used in food. There is an increasing interest in the antimicrobial properties of essential oils due to the possibility of using them to replace ‘synthetic’ preservatives in food or, in general, to reduce viable numbers of pathogens along the food chain.
