Investigation of Ruminant Encephalitic and Septicemic Listeriosis by the Immunofluorescence Method

Listeria genus are Gram positive facultative intracellular bacteria that found in the soil as saprophytes but also contain species have pathogenic effects their last host. monocytogenes is major pathogen responsible for majority of Listeriosis cases humans and animals. In this study, it was aimed to investigate L. with histopathological immunofluorescence methods brain liver tissues taken from sheep cattle clinical signs suspicious Listeriosis. isolation identification cultural were applied. The material study consisted 16 2 bovine tissue samples. As a result analysis, identified 12 (66.6%) Within framework macroscopic findings, (88.8%) 18 suspected method. These findings reveal immunofluorescent staining method reliable sensitive diagnosis
