Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality rate among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium that could survive high and low temperatures, low pH. It is a rare causative agent of mastitis in cow. However, due to its ability to resist various food processing technologies as well as to grow at low temperature, L. monocytogenes is know to be associated with both raw and pasteurized milk, as well as dairy products such as cheese. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible.

Storage Conditions
The Listeria monocytogenes TaqMan PCR Kit Dx is shipped on dry ice. The components of the kit should be frozen upon arrival. If one or more of the components is not frozen when the kit is received, or if any of the components have been compromised during shipment, please contact Norgen Biotek for assistance. All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 3 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

Isothermal nucleic acid Principle Summary
The kit is based on room and constant temperature nucleic acid rapid amplification technology, its principle is that at room and constant temperature, the recombinase and primer form a protein/single-stranded nucleotide complex Rec/ssDNA, and invade the double-stranded DNA template with the help of auxiliary proteins and single-stranded binding protein SSB; then form a D-loop region at the invasion point and start to scan the DNA duplex, after finding the target region complementary to the primer and disintegration of the complex Rec/ssDNA, the polymerase also binds to the 3′ end of the primer to start the chain extension. The kit relies on the role of NFO enzyme and adds the designed specific molecular probes according to the template, and get the result by colloidal gold technology (sandwich method).
