Abstract
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis established the linkage between recal led chocolate milk and a multistate invasive listeriosis outbreak duri ng a four-product recall period. Listeria monocytogenes isolates from four hospitalized patients and an environmental dairy sample displayed AscI restriction endonuclease digestion profiles identical to that of the chocolate milk isolate.
