Goats, as well as other types of animals can be carriers of Listeria monocytogenes that have in some stages of infection, no clinical manifestations of disease. In our case, Listeria monocytogenes was established in the uterus, which was confirmed knowledge about the tendencies of this kind of bacteria for the localization in particular, tissues, primarily uterus. Proved presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the uterus is indisputable, opens the possibility of contamination with these microorganisms, almost the whole area in slaughterhouse, primarily working surfaces, walls, accessories and tools. Listeria monocytogenes is zoonotic microorganism and its presence in slaughterhouses milieu presents the potential risk for health of workers, but also the possibility of the contamination of meat and meat products that have to be distributed in the market places. The presence on the floor and the carriages, confirms the ability of survival of pathogens in the conditions prevailing in the slaughterhouse ambient, particularly due to the ability of Listeria monocytogenes to make the biofilm.
