Abstract

Increased detection records of Listeria monocytogenes in foods have been recently observed. Standard methods of L. monocytogenes elimination from food products including pasteurisation or acidification may, however, be unreliable. The elimination of L. monocytogenes using specific bacteriophages which are natural antagonists of these pathogenic bacteria has become an innovative method that does not affect the taste, smell or appearance of the product. The use of phage preparations in food production is becoming an increasingly popular method for the effective and safe elimination of L. monocytogenes from food products.
