In this context, contaminated ready-to-eat food (RTE) may be a vehicle for the transmission of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), a foodborne pathogen responsible of listeriosis, a severe infectious disease involving humans and animals. It would be useful to have rapid detection methods to screen the presence of L. monocytogenes in food. In this study, a colorimetric Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was applied to the detection of L. monocytogenes in 37 experimentally contaminated RTE meat samples. The LAMP primers consisted of a set of six primers targeting eight regions on the hlyA gene; the assay was carried out in 30 min at 65 \u00b0C in a water bath. Amplification products were visualized by color change assessment. The results of colorimetric LAMP assays based on the hly gene obtained in this study were compared to microbiological cultural methods, real-time PCR and real-time LAMP PCR, which show 100% specificity and sensitivity. These data suggest that colorimetric LAMP assays can be used as a screen to detect L. monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat food.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods12010193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T02:44:03Z","timestamp":1672627443000},"page":"193","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Application of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for the Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in Cooked Ham"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8075-933X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonsina","family":"Fiore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Sicurezza Alimentare, Nutrizione e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica Veterinaria\u2014Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, 00161 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ida","family":"Treglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Sicurezza Alimentare, Nutrizione e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica Veterinaria\u2014Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, 00161 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianni","family":"Ciccaglioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Sicurezza Alimentare, Nutrizione e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica Veterinaria\u2014Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, 00161 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8069-107X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco Francesco","family":"Ortoffi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Sicurezza Alimentare, Nutrizione e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica Veterinaria\u2014Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, 00161 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonietta","family":"Gattuso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Sicurezza Alimentare, Nutrizione e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica Veterinaria\u2014Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, 00161 Roma, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"EFSA and ECDC (2021).
