Background: Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis an infectious but not contagious disease affecting primarily domestic animals, especially ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) and is less common in human beings. Rarely the disease can be found in birds, horses and pigs as well as in rodents and fish. It can also occur in feral animals (e.g. game animals) as well as in poultry and other birds. Listeria are found ubiquitously in soil, water and in poorly made silage.

Description: BactoReal® Kit Listeria monocytogenes uses real-time PCR for the detection of the hlyA gene of L. monocytogenes. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG). For more detailed information see here.
