[Epidemiological study and serotyping by multiple PCR of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from food matrices in Argentina].

Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic foodborne pathogen. It can resist stress conditions by adapting through the production of biofilms, which represents a serious problem for the food industry. It is classified into 14 serotypes, although only four (1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, and 4b) account for 89.
