Listeria monocytogenes in horses in Iceland
Twenty isolates of Listeria monocytogenes associated with five confirmed and four suspected incidents of listeriosis in horses in Iceland were characterised by serotyping, pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis and ribotyping. Semiquantitative estimates of the numbers of L monocytogenes were made on faece...
