Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is
a Gram-positive foodborne pathogen capable of causing a foodborne infectionknown as listeriosis. There are two main types
of listeriosis: a non-invasive gastroenteritis and an
invasive infection which is often associated with a high mortality and
hospitalization rate among susceptible individuals. Gentamicin, used as an
adjunct therapy with ampicillin, remains the treatment of choice for the
life-threatening invasive listeriosis. Nevertheless,
there is little data on gentamicin resistance determinants in L. monocytogenes. Several well-controlled studies
have reported that mechanisms of gentamicin resistance in this organism involve
active efflux and genetic determinants that affect the uptake of the antibiotic
through altered membrane potential. This mini review summarises current
knowledge of genetic determinants of gentamicin resistance in L. monocytogenes, with the aim of contributing information
that could facilitate the discovery of new therapeutic approaches to overcome,
delay or avoid developments of drug resistance in this foodborne pathogen.

Abstrak
Listeria monocytogenes ialah patogen bawaan makanan Gram-positif yang mampu menyebabkan jangkitan bawaan makanan yang dikenali sebagai listeriosis. Terdapat dua jenis listeriosis utama:
gastroenteritis bukan invasif dan jangkitan invasif yang sering dikaitkan dengan kadar kematian yang tinggi dan kemasukan ke hospital dalam kalangan individu yang terdedah. Gentamisin yang digunakan sebagai terapi tambahan dengan ampisilin, kekal sebagai rawatan pilihan untuk listeriosis invasif yang mengancam nyawa. Namun begitu, terdapat sedikit data tentang penentu rintangan gentamisin dalam L. monocytogenes. Beberapa kajian terkawal telah melaporkan bahawa mekanisme rintangan gentamisin dalam organisma ini melibatkan efluks aktif dan penentu genetik yang mempengaruhi pengambilan antibiotik melalui potensi membran yang diubah. Kajian mini ini meringkaskan pengetahuan semasa tentang penentu genetik rintangan gentamisin dalam L. monocytogenes bertujuan untuk menyumbang maklumat yang boleh memudahkan penemuan pendekatan terapeutik baharu untuk mengatasi, menangguhkan atau mengelakkan perkembangan rintangan dadah dalam patogen bawaan makanan ini.
