Popis: The main goal of the current study was to isolate and detect Listeria monocytogenes isolate from clinical specimens. L. monocytogenes was isolated from 175 samples including: (94) Vaginal swabs, (81) piece of placenta using the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for the detection of virulence gene hlyA. A total of 6 isolates of L. monocytogenes were isolated from 2 (2.1%) vaginal swabs, 4 (4.9%) piece placenta, and hlyA gene, prfAgene and actA gene was detected in 100% of L. monocytogenes isolates.
