| dc.abstract.en | Background: Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for listeriosis, a serious foodborne disease that can lead to serious health complications. Pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and patients with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to infection. Due to the ability of L. monocytogenes to survive in extreme environmental conditions, such as low temperatures, high salinity, and acidity, this bacterium poses a serious threat to food production plants and is particularly difficult to eliminate from these plants. One of the promising solutions to reduce the presence of this bacterium in food products is bacteriocins as natural control agents. These are substances with antibacterial activity produced by other bacteria, mainly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which can effectively inhibit the development of pathogens such as L. monocytogenes. The use of bacteriocins in the food industry is beneficial due to their natural origin, specificity of action, and consumer safety. However, the problem of resistance to these substances exists. Results: This review focuses on the mechanisms of bacteriocin resistance, such as modifications of bacteriocin docking receptors, changes in the structure of the cell wall and membrane, and the occurrence of cross-resistance to different bacteriocins. Genetic factors determining these mechanisms and strategies to cope with the problem of resistance are also presented. Conclusions: Research on this issue is crucial for developing effective preventive methods that will enable the safe and long-term use of bacteriocins in food production. | |
