Listeria monocytogenes is Gram-positive bacterial pathogen, a causative agent of food poisoning and systemic disease – listeriosis. This species is still susceptible to several conventionally used antibiotics but an increase in its resistance has been reported. For this reason the search for new, alternative therapies is an urgent task. Silver nanoparticles seem to be the promising antibacterial agent. Minimal inhibitory concentration of silver nanoparticles was determined. Sublethal

Introduction
Listeria monocytogenes is Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria. L. monocytogenes causes listeriosis and is one of the most dangerous food-borne zoonotic pathogens (Schlech and Acheson 2000). Listeriosis mainly occurs in immunocompromised people, neonates, pregnant women, the elderly, and AIDS patients (Lawley et al. 2008; Jamali et al. 2013; Doijad et al. 2015). The major source of human infection is food contaminated with the pathogen, including raw
