The possibility of differentiation of L.monocytogenes from other Listeria species on the basis of hemolytic activity, the production of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of a DNA fragment of listeriolysine O (hly A) gene was compared. The screening of Listeria colonies for PI-PLC activity allowed to distinguish the pathogenic for humans L.monocytogenes bacteria from the majority of non-pathogenic Listeria spp. The amplification of DNA from Listeria lysates with two primers selected in area of the hly A gene made possible the differentiation of L.monocytogenes from other Listeria species, including hemolytic L.ivanovii and L.seeligeri bacteria as well as hemolytic or PI-PLC positive L.innocua strains.
