Summary The sensitivity of 14 antibiotics and chemotherapeutics to 86 strains of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from 15 animal species was studied by means of an agar diffusion technique. The tetracyclines (chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, tetra‐cycline), erythromycin and streptomycin proved to be clearly superior to other antibiotics tested in vitro. No difference in resistance was found referable to the species of animal from which the strains emanated.
