Occurrence and Antibiotic Sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes Strains Isolated from Oysters, Fish, and Estuarine Water

Occurrence and Antibiotic Sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes Strains Isolated from Oysters, Fish, and Estuarine Water

We analyzed the presence of Listeria spp. in oyster, fish, and seawater samples and tested isolates for antibiotic sensitivity. Listeria monocytogenes was found in 4.5% of fish samples and 8.3% of seawater samples and was not recovered from oysters. Multiresistant environmental strains were found, r...

Zusammenfassung:We analyzed the presence of Listeria spp. in oyster, fish, and seawater samples and tested isolates for antibiotic sensitivity. Listeria monocytogenes was found in 4.5% of fish samples and 8.3% of seawater samples and was not recovered from oysters. Multiresistant environmental strains were found, representing a potential threat to human health.
