Abstract
In this study, a total 28 Listeria monocytogenes
field isolates obtained from different animal
species were characterized phenotypically by CAMP
test. Characterization by CAMP test on all the 28
field isolates revealed positive reaction, of
which twenty-three isolates showed characteristics
enhancement of haemolytic zone with S. aureus on 5
% Sheep Blood Agar (SBA) and five isolates showed
weak haemolytic zone.
