Abstract:
Four cloned genes of Listeria monocytogenes coding for listeriolysin O, beta-haemolysin, CAMP-factor and a DTH-inducing protein (DTH-18) were used as gene probes in DNA-DNA hybridization with different listerial references strains. The fragment encoding for DTH-18 is the only probe reacting specifically with pathogenic strains of L. monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii.
