Abstract
The region encoding proline-rich units of actA genes was amplified fro m 24 strains of Listeria monocytogenes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), PCR products of 13 strains showed the expected size of 623 bp, whereas those of 11 strains showed a short size of 518 bp, The shorte ning of these PCR products resulted from the deletion of one proline-r ich unit, These results indicate that ActA proteins are divided into a t least two different types which are unrelated to bacterial serotypes .
