Area of Science:

  • Foodborne pathogens
  • Microbiology
  • Infectious diseases

Background:

  • Listeria monocytogenes is a major cause of foodborne illness.
  • Listeriosis disproportionately affects pregnant individuals, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Listeria monocytogenes.
  • To cover the epidemiology, microbiology, at-risk populations, clinical features, treatment, and prevention of listeriosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review
  • Epidemiological data analysis
  • Microbiological assessment

Main Results:

  • Listeriosis presents with diverse clinical manifestations, most commonly bacteremia and meningitis.
  • Understanding risk factors and transmission routes is crucial for control.

Conclusions:

  • Effective prevention and treatment strategies are essential to combat listeriosis.
  • Public health measures and clinical vigilance are key to reducing the burden of this foodborne pathogen.
