A method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food in two days is presented. The method consists of a two-step enrichment, bacterial cells lysis and a closed-tube duplex 5-nuclease PCR with an internal amplification control, which is read in end-point mode in a 96-well fluorimeter. The 5-nuclease PCR has an intrinsic detection limit of 10E4 CFU per 1 ml and facilitates monitoring of false negative results caused by the failure of amplification. The complete method for the detection of L. monocytogenes in food has a detection limit of 10E0 CFU per 10 g and does not produce false positive results due to the presence of dead cells.
