Dairy products and milk are some of the possible vehicles through which it can be transmitted both as a threat to the health of people and as an economic issue. The study conducted was to explore the prevalence, virulence characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance patterns of\n                      <jats:italic>L. monocytogenes<\/jats:italic>\n                      along the supply chain of milk in Yazd Province, Iran.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Collection of 370 samples (raw milk, pasteurised milk, dairy equipment, transport containers and hands and gowns of workers) was done between 2022 and 2023. Identification and isolation of\n                      <jats:italic>L. monocytogenes<\/jats:italic>\n                      was done using standard biochemical, bacteriological and molecular tests. The assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility was done using the Kirby\u2010Bauer disk diffusion, and the multi\u2010antibiotic resistance (MAR) index was determined. The presence of important virulence genes and resistance determinants was identified by PCR.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall, 10 isolates (2.7%) were confirmed as\n                      <jats:italic>L. monocytogenes<\/jats:italic>\n                      . Raw milk had the highest contamination rate (5.29%), while pasteurised milk and worker samples were negative. High\u2010level resistance was observed against nalidixic acid, penicillin G, ceftazidime (100%), cefepime and ceftriaxone (90%), whereas first\u2010line clinical drugs such as gentamicin, amikacin, levofloxacin, vancomycin, trimethoprim\u2010sulfamethoxazole and erythromycin showed full susceptibility.
