Veillonella dispar and V. atypica increased the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in liquid culture and biofilm conditions.

ABSTRACT: Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a foodborne pathogen that causes severe illness in high-risk groups who face a mortality rate of 15% to 20% with exposure to this deadly bacterium. L. monocytogenes poses a significant food safety concern due to its ability to withstand the adverse conditions encountered in food production environments. Prevention of its entry into the ready-to-eat (RTE) processing environment is crucial, and consequently, preventing its establishment within the environmental microbiota of slaughterhouses-the preceding stage in the production chain-is essential. This can be a challenge because L. monocytogenes has the ability to create and persist in biofilms in association with microorganisms. The role of the accompanying microbiota in the survival and density
