GeneDisc® Technologies
For an easy, rapid and reliable
identification of Listeria species
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic foodborne pathogenthat can affect a wide range of food products and can cause
severe infections with high mortality rate to the elderly,
immunodepressed persons and pregnant women. Since
L. monocytogenes has the ability to grow slowly at refrigerated
temperatures, it is a major concern for food companies. Somerare cases of listeriosis related to other Listeria spp. have also
been reported.
According to MLG 8 and ISO 11290, detection of Listeria isbased on a two steps procedure consisting of detection/
isolation followed by confirmation.
Conventional confirmation methods used for Listeria spp.
identification are based on biochemical tests performed fromisolated colonies. These methods results are typically obtained
within 24 hours and might be ambiguous.

GeneDisc System Benefits
Rapid — Accelerate your control workflow. Result for colony
confirmation is obtained in less than 1 hour.
Easy to use — GeneDisc solutions are designed for routine
use. Implementing PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) has
never been this easy.
