| Research Abstract |
To gain basic knowledge on the risk of L. monocytogenes contamination in raw ready-to-eat seafood products available at retail outlets in Japan, detailed investigation of the virulence genes of strains, in vivo bioassays using a mouse model (LD50, recovery of L. monocytogenes from livers and spleens), the growth of this pathogen in these seafood products, were conducted. The data raise the concern that raw RTE seafood products available at retail outlets in Japan are at risk for food-borne listeriosis.
