Abstract: Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen which may contaminate many types of food and impair food safety. Research methods of predictive food microbiology can be used for building growth kinetic models, which may assess microbial risk and predict food shelf life. This article introduced growth characteristics of L. monocytogenes. The classification of primary, secondary and tertiary models of predictive food microbiology were briefly reviewed. Applications of L. monocytogenes growth kinetic models in culture medium and different foods were summarized.

Key words: Listeria, growth model, predictive food microbiology
