Abstract excerpt
AIMS: A major challenge for Listeria monocytogenes diagnostics is that this bacterium is ubiquitous in the environment, and that only a small fraction of the lineages are potential human pathogens. The aim of this work was to obtain a better subtyping of L. monocytogenes through utilization of combined analyses of genotype and the expression of the virulence determinant hlyA. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated...
