Larry PY - 2022 T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 21e AB - Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous environmental saprophyte and an intracellular pathogen in several animals. Humans develop L. monocytogenes infection—listeriosis—primarily through foodborne transmission. The clinical spectrum of listeriosis ranges from febrile gastroenteritis in healthy persons to invasive disease, including bacteremia and meningoencephalitis. Typical risk groups for invasive disease are pregnant women and their neonates, older adults, and immunocompromised persons.
