Listeria monocytogenes is an ubiquitous pathogen occasionally present in the intestinal tract of various animal species. The aim this study was to assess incidence spp. and faeces healthy cattle at slaughtering. isolated 18 out 220 (8.2%) faecal samples, 3 samples (1.4%). From were also 9 strains L. grayi, 4 innocua 2 ivanovii. Although limited, our results show that can represent a source contamination carcasses abattoirs be potential hazard human health.
