| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>This study was conducted to determine the presence and prevalence
of Listeria spp. in chicken meat in Erzurum province.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In this study, 100 chicken thigh meat
samples which were consumed in Erzurum were analyzed. In the
isolation and identification of Listeria spp. species were used TS EN
ISO 2017 method and Microbact 12 L Listeria Identification test Kit.<p>
<b>Results:</b> 64 (64%) Listeria spp were isolated in 64 (64%) out of 100
chicken meat samples, identification of those indicated 16 (25 %)
isolates as L. monocytogenes, 26 (40.62 %) as L. innocua, 12 (18.75
%) L. grayi, 5 (7.81 %) L. murrayi and 5 (7.81 %) L. welshimeri. In the
samples, 25 Listeria species were detected via Microbact 12 L Listeria
identification test kit. Of these Listeria species, 7 (28%) were
L. monocytogenes; L. innocua of 10 (40%); 6 of them (24%) were L.
grayi; 1 (4%) was L. murrayi and 1 (4%) was L. welshimeri.<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>The results of this study suggest that the prevalence of
Listeria spp. in chicken meat is relatively high in Erzurum. Chicken
meat should be produced under appropriate, hygienic and technological
conditions for the prevention of public health. |
