L2650-09D	Listeria

Description:
Listeria are Gram-positive bacilli and are widespread in the environment. It can be found in soil, dust, mud, vegetation, silage, sewage and most animals. It has been found in 5% or more of normal healthy people, usually in the gut. It has the unusual characteristic of being able to grow, albeit slowly, at temperatures as low as 0°C. There are several different subtypes of L. monocytogenes (the main cause of disease) and L. innocua, which is very similar but apparently do not cause disease in man.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
