During a 1-year longitudinal study, water, sediment and water plants from two creeks and one pond were sampled monthly and analyzed for the presence of  Listeria  species. A total of 90 % of 30 sediment samples, 84 % of 31 water plant samples and 67 % of 36 water samples were tested positive. Generally, most probable number counts ranged between 1 and 40 g −1 , only occasionally &gt;110 cfu g −1  were detected. Species differentiation based on FT-IR spectroscopy and multiplex PCR of a total of 1220 isolates revealed  L. innocua  (46 %) , L. seeligeri  (27 %),  L. monocytogenes  (25 %) and  L. ivanovii  (2 %). Titers and species compositions were similar during all seasons. While the species distributions in sediments and associated  Ranunculus fluitans  plants appeared to be similar in both creeks, RAPD typing did not provide conclusive evidence that the populations of these environments were connected. It is concluded that (i) the fresh-water sediments and water plants are year-round populated by  Listeria , (ii) no clear preference for growth in habitats as different as sediments and water plants was found and (iii) the RAPD-based intraspecific biodiversity is high compared to the low population density.
