Abstract
ABSTRACT
To define relationships between
Listeria monocytogenes
genetic lineages, ribotypes, and serotypes, 235
L. monocytogenes
isolates were characterized by serotyping and automated
Eco
RI ribotyping. Genetic lineage predicted the following serovar clusters: lineage I, comprising serotypes 1/2b, 3b, 3c, and 4b; lineage II, comprising serotypes 1/2a, 1/2c, and 3a; and lineage III, comprising serotypes 4a and 4c. Some
Eco
RI ribotypes contained multiple serotypes; a subset of these isolates was further differentiated with
Pvu
II ribotyping. Of the 12 resultant
Eco
RI-
Pvu
II combination types, only 4 contained multiple serotypes, demonstrating the potential of ribotyping for serotype prediction.
