Development of a duplex lateral flow dipstick test for the detection and differentiation of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in meat products based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification.

Listeria spp. are a group of gram-positive bacteria consisting of 20 species. Among them, Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major species that infects humans since it contaminates raw fruits, vegetables, and many others food products.

QCM-based rapid detection of PCR amplification products of Ehrlichia canis.

Ehrlichia canis is an intracellular parasitic bacterium and arthropod-borne pathogen that receives growing attention, because it leads to increasing morbidity and mortality in animals. It does so by causing canine monocytotropic ehrlichiosis (CME). Infected canines may lack obvious clinical signs and stay in chronic stage.
