Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis for Subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes

Sung-Sik Jang, Graham H. Fleet, J.M. Cox

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk foodborne pathogen responsible for foodborne listeriosis outbreaks, and is particularly dangerous to immuno-compromised people with mortality rate of about 30%. This review summarizes subtyping of L. monocytogenes using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis, widely used to trace origin of foodborne outbreaks and to determine relationship between isolates.
