In this study, a total 28 Listeria monocytogenes field isolates obtained from different animal species were characterized phenotypically by CAMP test. Characterization by CAMP test on all the 28 field isolates revealed positive reaction, of which twenty-three isolates showed characteristics enhancement of haemolytic zone with S. aureus on 5 % Sheep Blood Agar (SBA) and five isolates showed weak haemolytic zone.
