Abstract excerpt
As part of a hygiene monitoring program in a meat processing plant a total of 131 Listeria isolates were detected by sampling different processing areas and meat products within a 2-year period. The isolates were differentiated by means of phenotypic characteristics. Furthermore, the genomic ApaI and SmaI fragment patterns of all isolates were examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). PFGE using SmaI...
