PCR serogrouping methods were used to examine strains of L.
monocytogenes isolated in Japan. Among 187 strains, 99.5% were classified into
4 PCR serogroups corresponding to conventional serotypes. Only one isolate had a new PCR
profile, which may be a variant of serogroup IVb.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
