title: A DNA probe specific for L. monocytogenes in the genus Listeria.
abstract: Two DNA fragments encoding part of the listeriolysin O of Listeria monocytogenes have been used as probes in Southern blot experiments to detect the presence of the gene in the genus Listeria. Under stringent conditions, and using a fragment internal to the gene, only L. monocytogenes reacted with the probe.
