Commercial extracts of three spices (lemon, caraway and basil) against Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua and L. welshimeri were investigated using disc diffusion method. Lemon and basil extracts inhibited all the organisms at the level of ≥ 5 μl (lemon) and 20 μl (basil). These extracts produced inhibitory zones of 9-19 mm (lemon) and 8-11.5 mm (basil). The extract of caraway showed activity only against L. innocua at the highest level (20 μl), producing an inhibitory zone of 14.7 mm. Generally, the lemon extract was the most effective. This extract exhibited greater inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes, while the basil extract had the strongest effect on L. welshimeri. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.
