Properties of Listeria monocytogenes, dedicated from the production of animal origin in the territory of the Republic of Crimea

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes may cause acute infectious disease of zoonotic nature and is characterized by a multiplicity of infection routes. In humans and it is typically transmitted as a food-borne pathogen. The article tells about the method of screening, accelerated and classical diagnosis and identification of the pathogenic microorganism Listeria monocytogenes can be found in such as fresh meat, milk products, fish and semi-finished products produced in the territory of the Republic of Crimea. Identification of a microorganism in foods is associated with the need to improve methodological approaches to identifying and identifying microorganisms of the genus Listeria, which will shorten the time frame for diagnosis and increase the productivity of identification methods. Based on the results of the monitoring, a comparative analysis of accelerated and highly specific methods of identification of the pathogen with a description of its inherent morphological, biochemical and cultural properties was carried out.
