Summary

Reports covering the years 1971-1994 reveal the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in meats to be highly variable with around 16% of products being positive. In general, fresh meats tend to contain less than 100 CFU/g while the highest numbers have been found in processed meat and poultry products. Serovar 4b has been associated with the largest human outbreaks of listeriosis. 1/2a, 1/2b, and 1/2c are more often isolated from meats.
