Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a nutrient-borne pathogen spread to processed products such as vegetables, fruits and dairy products. Especially in the dairy industry, the presence of L. monocytogenes poses a major problem in milk, dairy products and dairy plants. Infection caused by this bacterium is a serious threat to individuals such as immunosuppressed patients, newborns, the elderly and pregnant women. In this study, the presence of L. monocytogenes in Afyonkarahisar/Turkey in the samples taken from plants that produce three different kaymak types was investigated. For this purpose, a total of 87 samples taken from the kaymak production plant, the surfaces of the equipment in this plant and the employees were examined according to the ISO 11290-1 protocol. According to the results of our study, L. monocytogenes was detected in 8.33% of the 36 samples taken from the processing plant and 16.66% of the total of 24 pieces of equipment in the processing plant. L. monocytogenes was not detected in the workers’ hands, aprons or boots at all three plants. When the results obtained are interpreted, it is understood that this may pose a significant risk to public health if the necessary precautions are not taken in production of cream.

A endometriose é definida como a presença de glândulas endometriais e estroma fora da cavidade uterina. Essa doença, comum nas mulheres, é geralmente observada durante os anos reprodutivos. Embora a pelve seja o sítio mais comum da endometriose em mulheres, a localização extrapélvica é menos frequente e ainda mais difícil de diagnosticar, em decorrência das apresentações distintas. Neste artigo é descrito um caso de endometriose de cicatriz da parede abdominal.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. This disease is commonly observed in women, particularly those of reproductive age. The pelvis is the most common location for endometriosis. On the other hand, extrapelvic endometriosis, which is less common, is more difficult to diagnose because of the extreme differences in its presentation. In this article, we describe our experience of a case of endometriosis in an abdominal wall scar.
