    abstract = {Presence of <I>Listeria monocytogenes</I> in various semi-hard traditional cheeses including Van otlu (herby), Carra, Konya kuflu (mouldy) and Urfa tulum produced at different regions of Turkey was investigated. A total of 120 samples from these four cheese types were surveyed. <I>Listeria</I> sp. were detected in 50 of the 120 samples. Ratios of contaminated samples with <I>Listeria</I> sp. in four cheese types were Van otlu, 36.6% (11/30), Carra, 56.6% (17/30), Konya kuflu 43.3% (13/30), Urfa tulum, 30% (9/30). <I>L. monocytogenes </I>was determined in 34 of the 120 samples. Numbers of contaminated samples with <I>L. monocytogenes</I> in four cheese types were Van otlu, 9 (30%), Carra, 14 (46.6%), Konya kuflu, 7 (23.3%), Urfa tulum, 4 (13.3%). <I>Listeria innocua</I>, <I>Listeria welshimeri</I> and <I>Listeria grayi</I> were isolated from 2, 12 and 2 of the all samples, respectively. <I>Listeria ivanovii</I> and <I>Listeria seeligeri</I> were not detected in any of the samples. Any correlation was not observed between the presence of <I>Listeria</I> sp. and chemical composition of the cheeses.}
