Listeria Monocytogenes Endophthalmitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1977
A 62-year-old white man developed an acute anterior chamber inflammation in his left eye. Listeria monocytogenes was cultured from the vitreous aspirate. There was no evidence for ocular trauma or distant site of infection from which hematogenous spread of the organism occurred. No underlying state of immunocompromise was demonstrated.

Listeria Monocytogenes Meningitis

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1962
Introduction Listeria monocytogenes is an unusual bacterial agent in meningitis. 1-3 The majority of human case reports have been in infants, pregnant females, and farm workers. 4-10 There have been few documented reports of Listeria meningitis among the urban population in the United States. 2,11 The rarity of this diagnosis may be due in part to the

Phospholipids of Listeria monocytogenes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1971
Abstract The major phospholipid components of Listeria monocytogenes were isolated and subjected to mild alkaline hydrolysis and the deacylated products were purified by ion-exchange and Sephadex chromatography. The intact phospholipids and their deacylated products were further analyzed by chemical and chromatographic means.

Listeria monocytogenes in Foods

2018
Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, a rare foodborne disease with a mortality rate of 20%-30%. The elderly and immunocompromised are particularly susceptible to listeriosis. L. monocytogenes is ubiquitous in nature and can contaminate food-processing environments, posing a threat to the food chain. This is particularly important for ready-to-eat

Listeria monocytogenes Keratitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1990
We treated a farmer who had Listeria monocytogenes bacterial keratitis. Therapy with topical antibiotics was unsuccessful; it was necessary to treat the patient with topical and systemic penicillin and gentamicin. To elucidate the pathogenesis of this infection, we developed a rabbit model. Using the patient's strain of L.

Listeria monocytogenes meningitis

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1989
The history and findings of all patients with Listeria meningitis admitted to the University Hospital of Leuven from 1967 to 1987 were reviewed. Listeriosis during pregnancy or the perinatal natal period was not considered. Predisposing conditions in these 23 patients included renal transplants (9), immunosuppressive therapy (2), diseases of the ...

Listeria monocytogenes meningitis

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1984
Presented is the case of a 42-year-old, previously healthy man with meningitis secondary to Listeria monocytogenes. Following lumbar puncture, empiric therapy with intravenous penicillin was started and he was hospitalized. Subsequently L monocytogenes was proven to be the causative organism and antibiotic therapy was changed to ampicillin and ...

Rhabdomyolysis and Listeria Monocytogenes

Scottish Medical Journal, 1989
Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis occurs as a complication of a wide variety of infections and is often discovered as a result of the associated renal failure.1 We report a case of meningitis due to Listeria monocytogenes, an uncommon cause of infection in adults2 which was associated with rhabdomyolysis.
