	Listeria definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Listeria: A group of bacteria capable of causing miscarriage (spontaneous abortion), stillbirth and premature birth and which can also cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and persons with a weakened immune system.
		In April 2000 the entire genome of Listeria was sequenced by a consortium of European scientists in 10 laboratories and companies coordinated by the Institute Pasteur in Paris.
		Listeria are named after the English surgeon and apostle of antisepsis, Joseph Lister (1827-1912).

	Listeria
		Listeria monocytogenes is reportedly carried in the intestinal tract of 5-10% of the human population without any apparent symptoms of disease.
		Listeria monocytogenes multiplies not only extracellularly but also intracellularly, within macrophages after phagocytosis, or within parenchymal cells which are entered by induced phagocytosis.
		With cholera, the actively-motile vibrios are thought to use their flagella to swim against the peristaltic movement of the bowel content and to penetrate (by swimming laterally) the mucosal lining of the gut where they adhere.

	11.02.00 - Listeria bacteria yield clues to workings of other deadly intracellular pathogens, UC Berkeley scientists ...
		Listeria is a common but deadly bacterium that in recent years has made headlines as a contaminant of hot dogs, cheese, cole slaw and other food stuffs, causing more than two thousand infections every year and 500 deaths.
		Listeria bacteria establish an infection by inducing immune system cells, mostly scavenger cells called phagocytes, to corral and swallow them, so that they end up encased in a bubble within the body of the cell.
		Listeria bacteria apparently stole the tag and placed it on the toxin so that the host cell's clean-up crew recognizes it and targets it for destruction before it has a chance to make pinholes in the cell membrane.

	Listeria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Listeria is a bacterial genus containing six species.
		Listeria uses the cellular machinery to move around inside the host cell: it induces directed polymerisation of actin by the ActA transmembrane protein, thus pushing the bacterial cell around.
		Listeria monocytogenes for example, encodes virulence genes which are thermoregulated.

		Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) is a foodborne disease-causing bacteria; the disease is called listeriosis.
		Listeria is often isolated in cattle, sheep, and fowl, and is also found in dairy products, fruits, and vegetables.
		After ingestion of food contaminated with Listeria, incubation periods (from time of exposure to onset of illness) are in the range of one to eight weeks, averaging about 31 days.

		Listeria infection should thus be considered in the differential of high-risk patients presenting with compatible clinical findings.

		Listeriosis is a foodborne illness caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
		For this study, they wanted to know how the bacteria were able to invade the placenta in the first place: Their hypothesis was that the pathogens first infected organs such as the liver and moved from there to the placenta, an organ that, once infected, provides a protective niche for pathogens.
		When she examined the animals' organs, she found that for every bacterium present in the placenta, there were 1,000 to 10,000 times as many in the liver and spleen, an indication that the placenta was fairly well protected from infection.

	Listeria Infection in Pregnancy
		Listeriosis is an infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
		Foods contaminated with Listeria, like soft cheeses and unpasteurized products and cold cuts, can cause outbreaks, but in pregnancy it can have no symptoms at all or cause an illness that may be confused with a urinary tract infection or with just a flu that is managed with fluids and tylenol.
		Listeria in pregnancy usually appears as flulike, which can be scary when almost every pregnant woman gets flu-like symptoms at some point in her pregnancy.

		Listeria is widely distributed throughout the environment, inhabiting soil, decaying vegetable matter, sewage, water, animal feed, fresh and frozen poultry, processed meats, raw milk, cheese, and humans.
		Listeria is an intracellular pathogen where they co-opt the cell's machinery, and travel through the blood stream, once they make it through the gastrointestinal tract.
		Listeria is capable of infecting macrophages, which acquire the pathogen through phagocytosis, or epithelial cells, which are infected when listeria induces cytoskeletal changes and plasma membrane extensions.

	NTP-CERHR: Common Concerns - Listeria and Food Poisoning
		Listeria is often present in the intestines of seemingly healthy animals.
		Listeria is killed by pasteurization, and heating procedures used to prepare ready-to-eat processed meats should be sufficient to kill the bacterium; however, unless good manufacturing practices are followed, contamination can occur after processing." It is important to note that "contaminated food may not look, smell or taste different from uncontaminated food." (FDA July 1997)
		From the 1986-1987 study results, as well as from findings in studies conducted form 1989-1990, CDC determined that sporadic (non-outbreak) individual cases of listeriosis were associated with soft cheese, undercooked poultry, hot dogs not thoroughly reheated and food purchased from delicatessen counters.

		Listeria monocytogenes multiplies not only extracellularly but also intracellularly within macrophages after phagocytosis and even within parenchymal cells which are entered by induced phagocytosis.
		Hemolysin is not the only Listeria virulence factor, however, since the hemolytic Listeria species besides L monocytogenes (i.e., L seeligeri and L ivanovii) possess rather limited pathogenicity.
		Listeria monocytogenes is implicated when monocytosis is observed in the peripheral blood as well as the cerebrospinal fluid.

	Listeria risk: authority tells food industry to toughen controls
		Food makers are required to test each food batch where the harmful pathogen Listeria monocytogenes may be present, such as soft cheese and processed meat products, and in particular those kept refrigerated for a long time where the pathogen can grow at low temperatures.
		Although infections caused by listeria are not as common as for salmonella, they can cause anything from diarrhoea to blood poisoning or meningitis, just as the bacterium can lead to miscarriages or cause disease in foetuses and newborns.
		The average incubation period for a listeria infection is three to four weeks but can also range from one to ten weeks.
