What is the listeria
There Listeria MonocyTogenes It is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious food disease. In most healthy subjects, the infection causes slight or gastroenteric symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and fever. However, in elderly subjects, in pregnant women or in people with compromised immune system, the infection can become invasive, leading to sepsis, meningitis or serious complications.
The serious cases of listeriosis have a very high hospitalization rate and, in vulnerable people, lethality can go up to 20–30%. Listeria can contaminate food in all stages, from production to conservation, but the products ready for consumption such as cold cuts, fresh or soft cheeses and smoked fish represent the highest risk, especially if stored for a long time even in the refrigerator.
