title: [Studies on the occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes in fecal samples of domestic and companion animals].
abstract: Listeria (L.) monocytogenes was isolated from 33.3% fecal samples of 138 cattle (29 strains serovar 1/2b, 10 strains serovar 1/2a, 7 strains serovar 4ab), from 8% fecal samples of 100 hens (5 strains serovar 1/2b, 1 strain serovar 1/2a, 4ab and 4b each), from 8% fecal samples of 100 sheep (6 strains serovar 1/2a, 1 strain serovar 1/2b and 4ab each), from 5.9% fecal samples of 34 pigs (2 strains serovar 4ab), from 4.8% fecal samples of 400 horses (7 strains serovar 1/2a, 6 strains serovar 1/2b and 4ab each), from 1.3% fecal samples of 300 dogs (3 strains serovar 1/2b, 1 strain serovar 4ab), from 0.9% fecal samples of 350 pigeons (1 strains serovar 1/2a, 1/2b and 4ab each), from 0.4% fecal samples of 275 cats (1 strain serovar 4b) and from 5 respectively 2 fecal samples of 35 tortoises (3 strains serovar 4ab, 2 strains serovar 4b) respectively 5 amphibia (1 strain serovar 4ab and 4e each). Further 36.9% fecal samples of cattle, 15% fecal samples of hens, 6% fecal samples of horses, 5.9% fecal samples of pigs, 5% fecal samples of sheep, 4% fecal samples of dogs, 2.3% fecal samples of pigeons, 3 fecal samples of 35 tortoises and 1 fecal sample of 260 rabbits contained L. innocua. In further 2% fecal samples of hens, in further 1.5% fecal samples of horses and in further 0.6% fecal samples of pigeons was detected L. seeligeri. 3 fecal samples of horses and 1 fecal sample of dogs, lizards and amphibia each contained L. welshimeri, while in 1 fecal sample of tortoises and in 3 fecal samples of 33 lizards L. ivanovii was detected.
