Show abstract
In this study, we examined the effect of a bacteriophage cocktail (tentatively designated FOP, for Foodborne Outbreak Pill) on the levels of Listeria monocytogenes in simulated small intestine, large intestine, and Caco-2 model systems. We found that FOP survival during simulated passage of the upper gastrointestinal was dependent on stomach pH, and that FOP robustly inhibited L. monocytogenes levels with effectiveness comparable to antibiotic treatment (ampicillin) under simulated ilium and colon conditions. FOP did not inhibit the commensal bacteria, whereas ampicillin treatment led to dysbiosis-like conditions. FOP was also more effective than antibiotic in protecting Caco-2 cells from adhesion and invasion by L. monocytogenes, while not triggering an inflammatory response. Our data suggest that FOP may provide a robust protection against L. monocytogenes should the bacterium enter the human gastrointestinal tract (e.g., by consumption of contaminated food), without deleterious impact on the commensal bacteria.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
