Abstract

The distribution of Listeria spp. in various foods and its fatty acid composition were examined. A total 60 samples of dairy products(15), seafoods(20), meat products(18), factory waster(2), and salades(5) were tested. Listeria spp. was found 10 samples, showing about 16.7% detection ratio; dairy products 0(0%),,seafoods 1(5%), meat product 7(38.9%), and factory wastes 2(100%). Whereas L. welshimeri was isolated from meat products 1(5.6%) and factory wastes 1(50%). The cellular fatty acid composition determined by gas chromatography was found not to differ among L. innocua isolated from food has similar fatty acid profiles when grown at 3$0^{\circ}C$,24 hrs on the tryptic soy plate with C15 and C17 anteiso branched acids accounting for about 80% of total.
