Listeria monocytogenes TaqMan PCR Kit

Detection kits for Listeria monocytogenes CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use Available in TaqMan format for analysis. Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality rate among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium that could survive high and low temperatures, low pH. It is a rare causative agent of mastitis in cow. However, due to its ability to resist various food processing technologies as well as to grow at low temperature, L. monocytogenes is know to be associated with both raw and pasteurized milk, as well as dairy products such as cheese. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible.
