Listeria monocytogenes Biofilms in Food-Associated Environments: A Persistent Enigma

open access: yesFoods, 2023
Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a bacterial pathogen responsible for listeriosis, a foodborne illness associated with high rates of mortality (20–30%) and hospitalisation.

Environmental persistence of Listeria monocytogenes and its implications in dairy processing plants.

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 2023
Listeriosis, an invasive illness with a fatality rate between 20% and 30%, is caused by the ubiquitous bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. Human listeriosis has long been associated with foods.

A review of Listeria monocytogenes: An update on outbreaks, virulence, dose-response, ecology, and risk assessments

open access: yes, 2017
Improved control measures starting in the 1990s have greatly reduced the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in many food categories, particularly in meats and meat products.

Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen

open access: yesMicrobiological reviews, 1991
The gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is an ubiquitous, intracellular pathogen which has been implicated within the past decade as the causative organism in several outbreaks of foodborne disease.

Making Sense of the Biodiversity and Virulence of Listeria monocytogenes.

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2021
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis, an infection that can manifest in humans as bacteremia, meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised patients and the elderly, and fetal-placental infection in pregnant women ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Mortality risk factors related to listeriosis - A meta-analysis.

open access: yesJournal of Infection and Public Health, 2023
BACKGROUND Relatively few studies have focused on mortality risk factors for listeriosis in the literature. Information on the mortality of populations with listeriosis is needed.
