- A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for detection ofpathogenic, virulent strains of Yersinia enterocolitica. By using both virulence loci virFand ail as markers for pathogenicity, detection of species with a virulence factor present waspossible. DNA preparation in the presence of hexadecyl trimethy ammonium bromide(CTAB) was followed by two 44 cycle amplification reactions, one for each of themarkers. As few as 102Y. enterocolitica cells were detected in ground pork in thepresence of 105–106bacteria of other species. The described PCR assay providesa sensitive robust assay for the detection of virulent Y. enterocolitica in food.

- Altogether, 133 strains of Listeria monocytogenes serovar 4b were investigated, A segment of 2,916 bp containing parts of the two genes inlA and inlB in L. monocytogenes was amplified by the PCR technique. The PCR product obtained was cleaved with the restriction enzyme AluI, and the fragments generated were separated by gel electrophoresis, leading to two distinct groups: PCR-restriction enzyme analysis groups I and II, containing 37 and 96 strains, respectively, The PCR-restriction enzyme analysis method described in this paper could be a useful tool for the subtyping of L. monocytogenes serovar 4b strains.

- In Sweden, many Listeria monocytogenes strains belonging to serovar 4b and isolated during the last five years from different sources share the same phagovar - 2389:2425:3274:2671:47:108:340. The object of the present study was to investigate if 31 L. monocytogenes serovar 4b strains belonging to this particular phagovar could be differentiated by use of a simple restriction endonuclease analysis (REA). Among the enzymes tested, Xho I was found to be the most useful, since this enzyme could divide the 31 strains into five groups. The profiles of all human clinical isolates were indistinguishable from each other, which indicates that these strains may represent a single clone. The food isolates and the strains of human origin did not share the same profile. This further characterization may be of epidemiological importance as this phagovar of L. monocytogenes has been associated with at least two outbreaks of human listeriosis in Europe.

- Extracellular vesicles (EVs), whose main subtypes are exosomes, microparticles, and apoptotic bodies, are secreted by all cells and harbor biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. They function as intercellular messengers and, depending on their cargo, may have multiple roles in cancer development. Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is a cell cycle-dependent enzyme used as a biomarker for cell proliferation. TK1 is usually elevated in cancer patients' serum, making the enzyme a valuable tumor proliferation biomarker that strongly correlates with cancer stage and metastatic capabilities. Here, we investigated the presence of TK1 in EVs derived from three prostate cancer cell lines with various p53 mutation statuses (LNCaP, PC3, and DU145), EVs from the normal prostate epithelial cell line RWPE-1 and EVs isolated from human seminal fluid (prostasomes). We measured the TK1 activity by a real-time assay for these EVs. We demonstrated that the TK1 enzyme activity is higher in EVs derived from the malignant cell lines, with the highest activity from cells deriving from the most aggressive cancer, compared to the prostasomes and RWPE-1 EVs. The measurement of TK1 activity in EVs may be essential in future prostate cancer studies.
