Novel Multiplex DNA Microarray Assay for Species Discrimination of Listeria and Listeria monocytogenes on Environmental Surfaces and Food Samples
The DNA microarray assay described here was found capable of detecting and speciating multiple Listeria species. The test offers the ability to rapidly discriminate different pathogenic species of Listeria, all in parallel, in a way that provides the opportunity to track food pathogen species at high-resolution, as part of a high-throughput workflow suitable for environmental and food safety testing.
