Abstract
- Listeriosis is a foodborne infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes. The clinical spectrum of listeriosis ranges from mild to invasive disease including bacteraemia or meningitis. Listeria monocytogenes can also be transmitted from mother to fetus in utero or to the neonate during birth. Risk factors for invasive disease include immunosuppression, advanced age, and pregnancy. The incubation is longer than for most foodborne pathogens, usually a few weeks. In Denmark, invasive forms of listerioses in humans are monitored in the Danish surveillance system. The 30-day mortality of registered cases of listeriosis is about 25% [1].
