Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a new detection method for Listeria monocytogenes, in particular to a method for assisting identification by using a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS). Background technique
[0002] Listeria monocytogenes is a zoonotic pathogen. The bacteria can cause meningitis, encephalitis, sepsis, miscarriage, stillbirth and other diseases in pregnant women and animals. Pregnant women, newborns, the elderly and immunocompromised persons are susceptible groups. Although the incidence of foodborne Listeria is not high, the mortality rate can sometimes reach 20% to 50%. WHO listed it as one of the four major food pathogens in the 1990s. The fungus is widely distributed in nature, with livestock and poultry as the main host, and it is easy to contaminate food and cause food poisoning and listeria outbreaks [4] . Meat, eggs, poultry, seafood, dairy products, vegetables, etc. have all...
