Cross-Genera Amplification of prs/hlyA by Multiplex PCR Resulted in Misidentification of Enterococcus faecium as Listeria monocytogenes

H. B. Ali, A. S Kumurya, J. M. Ajagbe…·M Usman

The study found that a common PCR assay for Listeria monocytogenes misidentified Enterococcus faecium as L. monocytogenes due to primer cross-reactivity, highlighting a 66.7% false-positive rate in a Nigerian context.
