Rapid multi-locus tNGS-based genotyping of Listeria monocytogenes by the Clear Safety™ automated platform to identify outbreak-relevant isolates

The Clear Safety Listeria platform is an automated targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) platform which can amplify and sequence multiple loci in the Listeria genome to rapidly and easily speciate and strain type Listeria in isolates and real-world samples. “Patterns” assigned to distinct genotypes can be leveraged to efficiently track the movement of Listeria contamination within a facility.
