Description

Listeria monocytogenes causes an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 cases of illness per year in the United States. Since about 20 to 30% of listeriosis patients die, this is one of the most severe food-borne diseases. Susceptible individuals (e.g., immuno-compromised people and pregnant women) can experience severe disease, including abortions and brain infections, when exposed to high numbers of this bacterium. L. monocytogenes
and the disease caused by it have a number of characteristics that complicate efforts to reduce food-borne listeriosis infections.
