Genetic variations and accelerated growth at low temperatures in a Listeria monocytogenes isolate.

Abstract excerpt

Listeria monocytogenes contamination of fresh-cut produce poses a threat to consumers due to its high mortality rate in humans. Because it is widespread in the environment, as well as able to grow and survive in harsh conditions, such as low temperatures, it is difficult to control. A strain of L. monocytogenes, L008, with significantly faster growth than other strains, was identified in our laboratory during...
