Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous microorganism responsible for listeriosis, a severe disease in humans that become infected by ingesting contaminated foods. Although it can occur in healthy humans, listeriosis affects mainly the elderly, immuno-compromised, pregnant women and newborns, with a high case fatality rate (20%–30%). This article will summarize what is currently known about L. monocytogenes, listeriosis, methods of detection and enumeration, subtyping, persistence, virulence traits and regulatory control.
