In the first seven weeks of 2016, five serotype 1/2a Listeria monocytogenes isolates were collected from patients with invasive listeriosis in Ancona province in Italy. These strains and six 1/2a isolates identified in 2015 in the same area were typed by ERIC-PCR and PFGE. A clonal relationship, documented between the two sets of isolates, suggested a listeriosis outbreak in Ancona that started most probably in 2015. Investigation into the source of infection is still ongoing.
在 2016 年的前七周,意大利安科纳省从侵袭性李斯特菌病患者中采集了五株血清型 1/2a 李斯特菌。这些菌株和 2015 年在同一地区鉴定的 6 株 1/2a 分离株通过 ERIC-PCR 和 PFGE 进行了分型。两组分离株之间存在克隆关系,表明安科纳发生了李斯特菌病暴发,很可能始于 2015 年。对感染源的调查仍在进行中。
