The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is commonly associated with meats and unpasteurized dairy products. To identify this pathogen in meats more efficiently than has been done in the past, we purchased meats from Korean markets and performed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and serotyping analysis on Listeria organisms isolated from meat samples. Each Listeria species showed specific protein band patterns on SDS-PAGE. Whole-cell protein SDS-PAGE profiles indicated that the organisms isolated from meats sold in local Korean markets were L. monocytogenes with the serotypes 1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, and 4b. We suggest that it is possible to carry out molecular subtyping of L. monocytogenes using SDS-PAGE.
