Incidence of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species in raw milk produced in Spain
Raw milk samples from bulk tanks of 114 farms in Central Spain were analysed for Listeria twice per season over a 1-year period. L. monocytogenes and L. innocua were detected in 3.62 and 2.71% of 774 milk samples, respectively. No other Listeria species were isolated. Most farms (85.1%) produced milk apparently free from L. monocytogenes throughout the 1-year sampling period. No seasonal influence on milk contamination by L. monocytogenes or L. innocua was found.
