Abstract: Listerioza povezana z nosečnostjo je v svetu še vedno zelo nepoudarjena in je novosti polna tema obravnave. Bolezen, ki je v današnjem svetu med vodilnimi in ki med nosečnostjo povzroča številne zaplete, kot so spontan splav, prezgodnji porod in mrtvorojenost otroka, je zaradi svoje preproste simptomatike še vedno velika uganka. Namen zaključnega dela je s pregledom, analizo in sintezo literature raziskati stopnjo osveščenosti nosečnic o listeriozi in preprečevanju listerioze.

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the mint extracts from Mentha piperita L. and Mentha aquatica L. In vitro antibacterial activity against two foodborne bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus) was evaluated by the well diffusion method. The activity was assessed by the diameter of the inhibition zone. Four of the five extracts from Mentha piperita were active against S. aureus, but none of the extracts was active against L. monocytogenes. Extracts obtained from Mentha aquatica showed no activity against both foodborne bacteria. The horseradish peroxidase/guaiacol assay was used to investigate in vitro antioxidant activity of two mint extracts (Mentha piperita and Mentha aquatica). The ascorbic acid was tested as a reference compound with known antioxidant activity to validate our approach. Extracts from Mentha aquatica showed strong antioxidant activity, but on the other hand, extracts from Mentha piperita showed no antioxidant activity.
