Ninety percent of listeriosis cases in New Zealand are associated with the consumption of food. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins based on their structures and functions. Proteomic mapping of food-borne pathogens has demonstrated its potential to be used as a rapid and effective detection tool. This article discusses the seriousness of L. monocytogenes illnesses in New Zealand and proteomics studies undertaken to detect and characterise this food-borne pathogen.pp.70-74en© 2012, FoodHACCP.com PublishingListeris monocytogenesfood-borne pathogenproteomic analysisJournal ArticleANZSRC::0605 MicrobiologyANZSRC::060501 BacteriologyANZSRC::090804 Food Packaging, Preservation and Safety
