phenotypic and molecular characterization of listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from a marine environment in morocco.	microbiological analysis of 1025 marine samples, including 345 from seawater, 337 from shellfish, and 343 from sediments collected between january 2000 and december 2002 from 18 shellfish sites on the atlantic coast of mid-west of morocco (agadir region), yielded 143 strains of listeria (listeria monocytogenes: 38; l. innocua: 109; l. ivanovii: 1). the overall incidence of listeria sp. in the coastal environment was 5.3%. thirteen l. monocytogenes strains were isolated from seawater, 7 from sedi ...	2007	18041951
performance of a new chromogenic plating medium for the isolation of listeria monocytogenes from marine environments.	aims: this study investigated the performance of a new chromogenic plating medium for the detection of listeria monocytogenes from naturally contaminated samples obtained from marine environments in morocco in comparison with the conventional plating media palcam and oxford. methods: a total of 479 marine samples (sea water, sediment and mussels) were collected from 16 littoral sites in the region of agadir (western centre of morocco). they were examined for the presence of l. monocytogenes usin ...	2005	15644105
