Infection occurrence in an exposed person depends on the number of organisms ingested, the virulence of the organisms strain and the individual condition. It is known that Listeriosis has decisive importance as an infection which the cellular immunodefen...

Comment on "Critical roles of NK and CD8+ T cells in central nervous system listeriosis".

Listeria monocytogenes (LM) causes a life-threatening infectious disease affecting the brain of humans and domestic animals. Unfortunately, no adequate murine models for CNS listeriosis exist. Using intraparenchymal injection, we have established a new murine model for CNS listeriosis. Injection of a small volume of bacterial suspension limits the bacteria to the brain parenchyma with no leakag...

Case Report: Two Cases of Ocular form of Listeriosis in Cattle Herds

Donachie 1997, Radostits et al. 2007), and an ocular form (uveitis, kerato-conjunctivitis, hypopion) (Welchman et al. 1997, Ravary 2000, Laven & Lawrence 2006, Radostits et al. 2007). Listeria has the particularity of forming micro-abscesses in organs. The nervous form is the easiest to diagnose due to its typical clinical pattern. However, the other clinical forms must not be under-estimated. ...

Foodborne Listeriosis

Foodborne listeriosis is a rare and very dangerous disease which is caused by Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is found in the nature in very high population, but can cause disease only in certain groups of people. Listeriosis usually happens after consumption of unpasteurized dairy products especially soft and unripe cheeses and ready to eat meat products like hot dog by susceptible peop...
