Súhrn: A method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food in two days is presented. The method consists of a two-step enrichment, bacterial cells lysis and a closed-tube duplex 5’-nuclease PCR with an internal amplification control, which is read in end-point mode in a 96-well fluorimeter. The 5’-nuclease PCR has an intrinsic detection limit of 104 CFU.ml-1 and facilitates monitoring of false negative results caused by the failure of amplification. The complete method for the detection of L. monocytogenes in food has a detection limit of 100 CFU per 10 g and does not produce false positive results due to the presence of dead cells.
