Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous bacterium widely distributed in the environment that can cause a severe disease in humans when contaminated foods are ingested. Cheese has been implicated in sporadic cases and in outbreaks of listeriosis worldwide. Environmental contamination, in several occasions by persistent strains, has been considered an important source of finished product contamina...

in this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

White brined cheeses are the most widely produced and consumed cheeses in Serbia (about 60 % of total cheese consumption). There are many different types of Serbian brined cheeses, named according to their production regions as follows: Sjenica cheese, Zlatar cheese, Svrljig cheese, Homolj cheese (Dozet et al., 1996). These cheeses can be very similar, but they also rather differ in respect of ...

In this study, some pathogens in the microbiota of traditionally produced White Cheese were determined by molecular methods and their phlogenetic similarities analyzed. Eight different pathogenic species (Citrobacter braakii, Hafnia paralvei, Klebsiella grimontii, Kosakonia sacchari, Raoultella ornithinolytica, terrigena, Serratia liquefaciens, plymuthica) detected Cheese, grimontii was dominan...

Background & Aims of the Study: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered as a major pathogen in public health concern. The objectives of this study were to firstly determine antibiotic sensitivity among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from traditional Iranian white cheese during 2015 from Hamedan province of Iran; and secondly to estimate the presence of ...
