Abstract: Four strains of Listeria monocytogenes were isolated from 10 eel product samples and identified quickly with gene probe method. The identification result was compared with that of API Listeria method. The gene probe method was simpler, quicker and more accurate. The results of detection and identification also showed that even processed eel products could still be contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes, so the producer and supervising division should pay enough attention to prevent the outbreak of food poisoning.

Key words: gene probe method, eel product, Listeria monocytogenes
