Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, an emerging foodborne illness with significant human mortality. This review covers its occurrence, disease forms, and management strategies for prevention and control.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Listeria monocytogenes is a widespread bacterium found in nature and animal intestinal tracts.
  • Listeriosis is an emerging foodborne illness causing substantial human morbidity and mortality.
  • The pathogen causes three primary disease forms: neural, visceral, and reproductive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Listeria monocytogenes and listeriosis.
  • To discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of listeriosis in animals and humans.
  • To outline strategies for the prevention and control of listeriosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Listeria monocytogenes and listeriosis.
  • Synthesis of information on disease forms, clinical signs, and epidemiology.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compilation of data on diagnostic, therapeutic, and control measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Listeriosis affects both animals and humans, presenting with distinct clinical syndromes.
    • Effective diagnosis, therapy, and prevention are crucial for managing outbreaks.
    • Control measures target environmental and food sources to minimize transmission.

    Conclusions:

    • Listeriosis remains a significant public health concern requiring ongoing vigilance.
    • Integrated approaches involving veterinary and human health sectors are essential for control.
    • Further research into prevention and treatment can mitigate the impact of this foodborne pathogen.
