A monoclonal antibody based diagnostic assay for listeria infections
Listeriosis is a disease of relatively high mortality mainly caused by the pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and is a danger primarily in newborn and unborn infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. L. monocytogenes is ubiquitous in the environment. It I can be isola...
