In this study, between June-2005, July-2005 50 samples of pickled white cheese were examined in Niğde region. In isolation studies, Listeria Enrichment Broth Base (Oxoid, CM862) was used as enrichment broth and Listeria Selective Agar Base (Oxoid, CM856) was used to isolate the agent. Of 50 white pickled cheese samples, strains of L monocytogenes in 3 samples (6 %), L.innocula in 8 samples (16 %) and L.welshimeri in 2 samples (4 %) were isolated and identified.
