Surface monitoring of L. monocytogenes by real-time fluorescence and colorimetric LAMP.

ABSTRACT: Listeria monocytogenes is a major foodborne pathogen affecting developing, and developed countries. The analysis of food contact surfaces in food industries is key for better controlling this pathogen. The current study focused on the development, optimization, and evaluation of a rapid and simple method for the detection of L. monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces, suitable for decentralized setups, taking advantage of Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). This was accomplished using a general pre-enrichment broth (TSB), with a simple DNA extraction based on a chelating resin, and final isothermal amplification. Two different detection strategies were tested, real-time fluorescence and naked-eye colorimetric, which were evaluated after 5, 7, and 24 h of pre-enrichment. Regard
