Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Listeria monocytogenes is still a challenge in food safety. The increasing trend of the incidence of L. monocytogenes in spite of the efforts of professionals to improve food control systems still indicates unsolved questions related to this microorganism. The compilation of recent scientific advances in the knowledge of this pathogenic bacterium in this Special Issue will help the scientific community to progress in working out the problem of listeriosis in food safety. We aim to gather articles focused on recent advances in the research of L. monocytogenes regarding ecology, resistance features to environment conditions including biofilm-related issues, and advances in virulence and infectivity.
