Antibiotic Resistance Profiles and Genetic Determinants of <i>Listeria innocua</i> Isolated from Food Sources in Poland.

ABSTRACT: Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health concern affecting both medicine and food safety. While Listeria monocytogenes is the primary pathogen of concern, Listeria innocua-commonly found in food and food-processing environments-may serve as a reservoir for resistance genes and a useful indicator of species for surveillance. This study aimed to assess the phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility and detect resistance-associated genes in L. innocua isolates from meat products and processing environments in Poland. Methods: A total of 51 L. innocua isolates were analyzed, originating from raw and processed meat products as well as meat-processing environments. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using the disc diffusio
