HiListeria™ Latex Test Kit is a rapid latex slide agglutination test for the presumptive identification of Listeria spp. from solid selective media. The test is suitable for organisms derived from patients with suspected Listeriosis. This test depends on the agglutination of antibody coated latex particles with antigens from corresponding microorganisms.
