Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen responsible for a disease called
listeriosis, which is potentially lethal in immunocompromised individuals. This bacterium, first …

Bile salts and bacteria have intricate relationships. The composition of the intestinal pool of
bile salts is shaped by bacterial metabolism. In turn, bile salts play a role in intestinal …

Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and released into the intestine to aid
the digestion of dietary lipids. The host enzymes that contribute to bile acid synthesis in the …

Primary bile acids serve important roles in cholesterol metabolism, lipid digestion, host-
microbe interactions, and regulatory pathways in the human host. While most bile acids are …

Background Bile salt hydrolase plays an important role in bile acid-mediated signaling
pathways, which regulate lipid absorption, glucose metabolism, and energy homeostasis …

Food safety criteria for Listeria monocytogenes in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) foods have been
applied from 2006 onwards (Commission Regulation (EC) 2073/2005). Still, human invasive …

The gut microbiota has been considered a cornerstone of maintaining the health status of its
human host because it not only facilitates harvesting of nutrients and energy from ingested …

Primary bile acids (BAs) are a collection of host-synthesized metabolites that shape
physiology and metabolism. BAs transit the gastrointestinal tract and are subjected to a …

Fermentation processes have been used for centuries for food production and preservation.
