Clonogrouping, a Rapid Multiplex PCR Method for Identification of Major Clones of Listeria monocytogenes.

ABSTRACT: Three multiplex PCR assays were developed to identify the 11 most common Listeria monocytogenes clones in clinical and food samples; 270 (95.7%) of 282 strains of serogroups IVb, IIb, IIa, and IIc were identified accurately. This novel tool is a rapid and efficient alternative to multilocus sequence typing for identification of L. monocytogenes clones.
