Molecular Subtyping Methods for Listeria monocytogenes

摘要: Conventional, phenotypic, and DNA-based subtyping methods allow differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes beyond the species subspecies level. Bacterial not only improve our ability to detect track human listeriosis outbreaks, but also provide tools sources L. contamination throughout food system. The use provides an opportunity better understand population genetics, epidemiology, ecology monocytogenes. last 5 years have seen tremendous advancements in development sensitive, rapid, automated, increasingly easy-to-use molecular for This review highlights key aspects different examples their application public health, safety, epidemiology. A significant focus is on define subtypes clonal groups, which may differ phenotypic characteristics pathogenic potential.
