Abstract: Objective To analyze the molecular serotyping and drug resistance of foodborne Listeria monocytogenes (LM)isolates from the food monitoring network of Liaoning Province, and to provide a reference for identifying and tracing the outbreaks of foodborne diseases. Methods The Listeria monocytogenes isolates were identified, biochemical typing was conducted by VITEK biochemical identification and PCR amplification techniques were applied for molecular serotyping of 67 strains of Listeria monocytogenes detected from 2 797 food samples collected from 15 monitoring sites across the province during 2021-2022. Verification was performed according to the instructions of the serodiagnosis manual. The sensitivity of the strains to ampicillin, penicillin, meropenem, cotrimoxazole, and erythromycin was determined by broth dilution method. Results In food from Liaoning Province, the molecular serotypes of Listeria monocytogenes carried were identified as 1/2a(3a), 1/2b(3b, 7), 1/2c(3c), and 4b (4d, 4e), with the predominant serotypes being 1/2a accounting for 62.7% (42/67), and 1/2b accounting for 28.4% (19/67). Among them, the 4b strain was isolated in 3 strains, representing 4.5%. The dominant strains of Listeria monocytogenes in 2021 and 2022 in Liaoning Province were 1/2a(3a) and 1/2b(3b, 7), with the most diverse types carried by meat and meat products. Double resistance to cotrimoxazole and erythromycin accounted for 11.9% (8/67), while resistance to only one cotrimoxazole accounted for 9.0% (6/67). Conclusions The presence of pathogenic serotypes 1/2a(3a), 1/2b(3b, 7), 1/2c(3c), and 4b (4d, 4e) in food in Liaoning Province and the emergence of strains with one or more drug resistances indicate the existence of food safety issues caused by Listeria monocytogenes, posing a potential risk of listeriosis. There is a need to optimize source tracing methods and strengthen the confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes outbreaks.

Objective:To analyze the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders in Nanning City in 2020, learn about the consumption of iodized salt among residents and the iodine nutrition status of key populations, and provide scientific basis for formulating or adjusting targeted prevention and control measures of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:According to the Guangxi Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Plan, monitoring was carried out in all of 12 districts (counties) in Nanning City. One township (street) was selected from each of the five directions of east, west, south, north, and central. Forty non-boarding children aged 8 to 10 and 20 pregnant women were selected as monitoring subjects in each township (street). Edible salt samples were collected from children and pregnant women to detect salt iodine content, random mid-course urine samples from children and morning urine samples from pregnant women were collected to detect urinary iodine content; in addition, thyroid examination of children was conducted in Qingxiu District, Liangqing District, Long an County and Shanglin County.Results:In 2020, a total of 2 434 children aged 8 to 10 and 1 207 pregnant women were surveyed in Nanning City. The coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt and the qualified iodine salt consumption rate were 99.67%(3 629/3 641), 97.99%(3 556/3 629) and 97.67%(3 556/3 641), respectively. The median urinary iodine of children was 182.0 μg/L, and the median values ranged from 146.5 to 234.8 μg/L in different districts (counties), there were significant differences in median urinary iodine between urban and non-urban areas, different gender and age groups ( U = 2.38, 2.41, P = 0.017, 0.016; H = 16.42, P < 0.001). The goiter rate of children was 0.99%(8/807), and the rate ranged from 0 to 2.00% (4/200) in the 4 districts (counties) examined, there were significant differences in thyroid volume between urban and non-urban areas and different ages ( U = - 3.52, P < 0.001; H = 47.67, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 191.0 μg/L. The median urinary iodine of different districts (counties) ranged from 141.0 to 241.5 μg/L, and the difference was statistically significant at different gestational stages ( H = 24.37, P < 0.001). Conclusion:In 2020, the coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt and the qualified iodine salt consumption rate by residents in Nanning City are high, and the iodine nutrition of both children and pregnant women are at an appropriate level.
