| Summary: | Firouzi, R. and Golabadi, M.B. 2000. Prevalence of Listeria organisms in abattoir workers in Shiraz, Iran. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 17: 297-300.
To assess the presence of different Listeria organisms in persons working in slaughter houses, a total of 130 faecal specimens of workers from different slaughter houses in Shiraz, Iran were obtained for the isolation of Listeria organisms by the use of cold enrichment and direct plating methods. The examination of isolates revealed that 3 (2.3 per cent) of 130 samples were contaminated with Listeria ivanovii. However, no other Listeria organisms could be isolated from any of these samples examined. |
