Abstract
Listeria spp. were isolated from fecal samples of 49 (12,3%) from 400 horses. 19 isolates were identified as Listeria (L.) monocytogenes (7x serovar 1/2 a, 6x serovar 112 b and 4 a b, respectively), whereas 24 isolates were identified as L. innocua (7x serovar 6a, 17x serovar 6 b ), 6 isolates as L. seeligeri (serovar 6 b) and 3 isolates as L. welsh imeri (serovar 6 b). At results of these cultural examinations show th at horses too can harbour and shed not only L. monocytogenes but als o ther L. spp. invariable frequency.
