The bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is well adapted to both life in the soil and life in the cytosol of eukaryotic host cells. In healthy individuals, the disease caused by L. monocytogenes is usually restricted to a self limiting gastroenteritis; however, in immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women, the bacterium is capable of causing systemic infections that lead to meningitis, encephalitis and, in the case of pregnant women, infection of the developing fetus, which can lead to abortion, stillbirth or neonatal infections. Although rare, listeriosis remains of great public health concern due to its high mortality rate (20 to 30%). Ingestion of contaminated foods is considered to be the primary source of infection for both sporadic and epidemic human listeriosis cases.
The star product Listeria Monocytogenes DNA Detection Kit is developed by TianLong Biotechnology which is intended for the rapid and accurate detection of Listeria monocytogenes DNA, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of listeriosis disease patients, as well as public healthcare management.
