Listeria spp. are opportunist human pathogens that may cause listeriosis, this illness is associated to ingestion of contaminated foods. Nowadays there are various antibacterial to act against Listeria spp. However, this bacterium has been demonstrated resistance to several antibiotics. In this regards, the antimicrobial activity of eight Physalis peruviana L. extracts obtained from leaves and berries (by aqueous and ethanolic media both lyophilized and fresh state) was evaluated against Listeria spp. previously isolates from meats.

Listeriosis was important bacterial disease public health significance affecting human as well as animals. Determination of the seroprevalance of antibodies to L. monocytogenes in cattle was attempted from the different organized cattle farm around the Nagpur region, Maharashtra India. Listeriolysin O is a haemolysin produced by the bacterium listeria monocytogenes for serological characterization. Present studies were targeted for serological detection of listeriolysin O in cattle serum. Serological prevalence in healthy animal was 4.
