Streszczenia
L. monocytogenes is considered one of the most dangerous foodborne pathogens. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of L. monocytogenes in RTE meat products from southern Poland, including serogroups and antimicrobial susceptibility, and to assess the usefulness of MALDI-TOF MS as a tool for identifying L. monocytogenes. A total of 848 production batches of RTE meat products were analyzed for L. monocytogenes. All L. monocytogenes isolates were serotyped using the multiplex PCR method, tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using the disk diffusion method and identified using the MALDI-TOF MS method. L. monocytogenes was detected in 52/848 batches of RTE meat products (6.13%). The isolates belonged to four serogroups: 17/52 (33%) isolates to IVb; 15/52 (29%) isolates to IIa; 10/52 (19%) isolates to IIc and 10/52 (19%) isolates to IIb. All isolates (52/52) showed susceptibility to the tested antimicrobials. Using MALDI-TOF MS, 10/52 isolates (19.2%) were identified at the level of secure genus identification, probable species identification; 37/52 isolates (71.2%) were identified at the level of probable genus identification; 3/52 isolates (5.8%) were incorrectly identified as L. innocua; and 2/52 isolates (3.8%) were not identified. The occurrence of L. monocytogenes in RTE meat products was low. Almost half of the analyzed isolates were L. monocytogenes of serogroups, which are most often associated with listeriosis in humans in Poland. All isolates showed susceptibility to five commonly used antimicrobials for treating listeriosis. The use of MALDI-TOF MS as a tool for the identification of L. monocytogenes indicated its limitations related to the insufficient representation of the pathogen in the reference database.
