Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from soil under organic carrot farming by Maciej Nowak, Zbigniew Paluszak, Natalia Wiktorczyk-Kapischke, Katarzyna Grudlewska-Buda, Anna Budzyńska, Joanna Skonieczna-Kurpiel, Ewa Wałecka-Zacharska, Monika Huse-Kutowska, Krzysztof Skowron

“…This is an important aspect in organic farming, where products are chosen as a healthier option and consumed by children and the elderly.MethodsThe isolates were subjected to genetic similarity assessment (PFGE method), and the tested strains were evaluated for antibiotic susceptibility (disc-diffusion method), invasiveness (HT-29 line human colon cancer cell line), coaggregation with Salmonella Enteritidis, biofilm-forming ability and the effect of disinfectants on the biofilm.ResultsTwenty-seven isolates of L. monocytogenes were isolated from 250 soil samples, 10 of which were genetically different. 80% of the tested strains were sensitive to the tested antibiotics. …”

Debatten i debatten by Jenny Eklöf

“… In the late 1970s, the media debate about recombinant DNA technology was Sweden’s first, but far from last, controversy about the risks and possibilities of genetic engineering. Based on the concept of knowledge cartographies, this study highlights how the main actors in the debate tried to make sense of what gene technology entailed, but also, and more importantly, how knowledge about the technology and its consequences should be communicated and disseminated in society. …”
