Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen worldwide, which could cause listeriosis with a 20-30 % fatality rate in immunocompromised individuals. Listeria monocytogenes MLST clonal complex (CC) 8 strain is a common clone in food and clinical cases. The aim of this study was to develop multiplex PCR (mPCR) and high-resolution melting (HRM) qPCR to simultaneously detect L.

- Listeria monocytogenes is a significant foodborne pathogen with a high fatality rate in vulnerable populations, prompting the need for effective detection methods.
- This study developed a novel multiplex PCR test to identify hypervirulent L. monocytogenes strains CC87 and CC88, achieving high specificity and low detection limits.
- The new PCR method allows for quick detection of these strains in food samples, presenting a cost-effective solution for monitoring contamination and assessing disinfection efforts in food production.
