Abstract

With the aim to isolate, identify and carry out serological characterization of’ bacteria of the genus Listeria, 70 samples of bovine muscle tissue and 30 samples of residual washing water of halves carcasses were collected in a large slaughterhouse, under Federal Inspection. No Listeria strain was isolated from samples of bovine meat, but one sample of residual water (3.33%) was positive, being the strain identified biochemical and serologically as L. innocua 6a. Fifty samples were also analysed of bovine minced meat acquired in the market of Goiânia - GO, from which 24 (48%) showed positive for Listeria spp. From these positive samples 24 strains were isolated, being 22 (91.8%) of L. innocua 6a, one (4.1%) of L. innocua not tipable and one (4.1%) of L. monocytogenes 1/2b.
