Abstract
Listeria a f~rn__e pathogen is the etiological agent of the deadly
disease listeriosis. Although, the virulence traits of international isolates of
Listeria are well studied, nothing is known about the virulence traits of Listeria
found in raw milk and raw chicken in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate Listeria from raw milk and raw
chicken in the Western Cape, South Africa, in order to determine the virulence
nature of such Listeria isolates
