Find Peace of Mind with Accurate Listeria Detection
When you’re concerned about potential Listeria infection, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about your health creates anxiety and stress. Our Listeria Monocytogenes Bacterial Load Test is designed to give you the clarity and confidence you deserve, using the most advanced testing technology available in South Africa.
Understanding Your Listeria Test
Listeria monocytogenes is a serious bacterial infection that can have significant health consequences, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Our test uses Real Time PCR technology to detect and quantify the bacterial load with exceptional accuracy. This means we can identify even small amounts of the bacteria, providing your healthcare provider with precise information to guide your treatment.
The test analyses various sample types including synovial fluid, CSF, serum, animal meat, amniotic fluid, faecal blood, and rectal swabs, ensuring comprehensive detection regardless of the infection site.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, this test could provide critical answers:
