Popis: A rapid and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for detecting Listeria monocytogenes prfA in milk. The inclusivity of 23 L. monocytogenes and the exclusivity of 16 non-L. monocytogenes strains were both 100% in the assay. The limit of detection (LoD) of the LAMP assay in Listeria enrichment broth (LEB) was 2.22 CFU/mL after 12 h and 24 h of incubation. The LoDs of the LAMP assay in LEB with artificially contaminated milk (LEB-M) incubated for 12 h (2.22×101 CFU/mL) and 24 h (2.22 CFU/mL) were lower than those of the PCR and real-time PCR assays. Comparison of the LoDs in LEB with those in LEB-M showed that the LAMP assay was less influenced by the milk compounds than the real-time PCR assay. Our results indicate that the LAMP assay can be utilized as a potential screening tool for L. monocytogenes in milk.
