Research conducted at the University of Southern Denmark shows that fatty acids might neutralize the harmful effects of Listeria bacterium.
The study, spearheaded by professor Birgitte Kallipolitis, was initiated with the purpose of finding ways to reduce dangerous bacteria in food. Kallipolitis and her research team are working on multiple studies to decipher once and for all what happens at the molecular level when fatty acids and Listeria encounter each other.
