Abstract
Febrile gastroenteritis in five healthy persons was associated with the con sumption of vacuum packed cold-smoked rainbow trout containing Listeria mon ocytogenes. L. monocytogenes isolates from the incriminated fish product lo t and the stool samples were all of serotype 1/2a and were indistinguishabl e by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis employing AscI and SmaI.
