Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Patterns in Traditional Montenegrin Njeguški Cheese Revealed by qPCR
Background/Objectives: This study was aimed to investigate the safety profile of traditional Montenegrin Njeguški cheese by quantifying genes associated with resistance to clinically important antibiotics. Methods: Samples of Njeguški cheese were sourced from three artisan producers in Montenegro, identified as A, B, and C, with three individual batches selected per producer. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed on bacterial DNA extracted directly from samples to detect genes encoding resistance...

Determination of Pesticide Residues in Fresh Fruits in the Serbian Market by LC-MS/MS
The concentrations of pesticide residues were determined in 2164 samples of 46 fruit species, collected over a 4-year period. Fruits originated from 59 countries, including Serbia (N = 199). Pesticide residues were determined by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) after extraction using a modified QuEChERS protocol. A total of 173 pesticide residues were detected. Of the fruit samples, 62.57% had pesticide residues at or above 0.01 mg/kg, and 4.67% exceeded the maximum residue...

From Traditional Typing to Genomic Precision: Whole-Genome Sequencing of Listeria monocytogenes Isolated from Refrigerated Foods in Chile
Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are the most common sources of Listeria monocytogenes transmission. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances the investigation of foodborne outbreaks by enabling the tracking of pathogen sources and the prediction of genetic traits related to virulence, stress, and antimicrobial resistance, which benefit food safety management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of WGS in the typing of 16 L. monocytogenes strains isolated from refrigerated foods in Chile, highlighting...

Complete genome of
Microbacterium plantarum
CoE-159-22, isolated from traditionally produced Montenegrin cheese
ABSTRACT
Microbacterium plantarum
(
M. plantarum
) was recently described as a new species isolated from copper globemallow (
Sphaeralcea angustifolia
). Here, we report the complete genome of
M. plantarum
CoE-159-22, which was obtained from traditionally produced Montenegrin cheese.
