Abstract:
16s ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is routinely used to identify bacteria in direct detection culture confirmation assays. In some instances rRNA cannot be used as a target to distinguish between phylogenetically closely related bacteria. Here we evaluate an alternative target, transfer messenger RNA (tmRNA), for the culture confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes.
