“…In Turkey, foodborne listeriosis outbreaks have not been documented regularly, since they have not reached epidemic levels [15]. Although it is commonly detected in animals such as sheep and cattle, some food-borne listeriosis outbreaks have been reported in newborns and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy [16,17]. ere are several regulations concerning the acceptable microbiological level of L. monocytogenes in RTE foods.…”

The aim of the present study was the determination of the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of L. monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in Ankara, Turkey. In order to detect and isolate L. monocytogenes from 201 RTE food samples, the EN ISO 11290:1 method was used. All isolates were identified using the polymerase chain reaction. The strains were also confirmed by the detection of the hemolysin gene (hlyA). The overall prevalence of L. monocytogenes was 8.5% among the food samples. Seventeen L. monocytogenes strains were examined by the disk diffusion assay for their resistance to 23 antibiotics. All strains were susceptible to erythromycin, clarithromycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, vancomycin, imipenem, trimethoprim, and chloramphenicol, while all strains were resistant to nalidixic acid, ampicillin, penicillin G, linezolid, and clindamycin. The higher resistance was found against oxacillin (94.1%), kanamycin (76.5%), levofloxacin (70.6%), and teicoplanin (64.7%), followed by amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (53.0%), rifampicin (47.1%), and ciprofloxacin (35.3%). A lower incidence of resistance was observed against tetracycline (5.9%), meropenem (5.9%), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (17.7%). All isolates were multidrug resistant showing resistance to at least three antibiotic classes. High L. monocytogenes prevalence among analyzed RTE foods represents a high risk for public health. Our findings show a high prevalence of L. monocytogenes in RTE foods in Turkey. More effective control strategies for L. monocytogenes are needed to reduce both prevalence and resistance of L. monocytogenes in Turkish RTE foods.

It is an important pathogen that may cause infection in the elderly or in immunocompromised patients with predisposing conditions. The present case is presented to underline the necessity of keeping in mind that L. monocytogenes can be the cause of bacteremia in geriatric and immunocompromised patients. An 89-yearold patient, who was diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia four months before hospitalization, was hospitalized in the Internal Medicine Clinic and his blood samples were transferred to our laboratory for blood culture. Growth of catalase-positive, oxidase-negative gram-positive bacteria in the morphology of coccobacillus was observed in the blood c u l t u re . T h e i s o l a t e d s t r a i n w a s i d e n t i f i e d as L. monocytogenes using the conventional methods and the automated system (VITEK 2, bioMérieux, France). The strain identified as L. monocytogenes by device was transferred to the Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital Microbiology Laboratory and the bacterial identification was confirmed at the species level using Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany)
