In this work, the prevalence of was determined in the five most widely traded meat products in the province of Quevedo (Ecuador): bacon, "chorizo paisa", grilled hamburger meat, mortadella, and salami. A total of 1000 samples of these products were analyzed in two seasons of the year (dry season/rainy season). All isolates were confirmed by PCR with primers designed for the gene. Furthermore, the positive samples were quantified for . Of the 1000 meat products analyzed, 163 were positive for (16.3%). The prevalence of in the two seasons in different meat products was as follows: 22.5% in mortadella, 19% in hamburger meat, 15% in bacon, 14.5% in chorizo paisa and 10.5% in salami. In addition, the concentration of in most of the positive samples was in the range of 4-6 log CFU/g or even higher.
